I have come across this permutation generator code. But doesn'
understand it
Can anybody explain how this works?
where x will be the string input and y will be initially ""
Sub GetPermutation(x As String, y As String)
' The source of this algorithm is unknown

Dim i As Integer, j As Integer
j = Len(y)
If j < 2 Then
Cells(CurrentRow, 1) = x & y
CurrentRow = CurrentRow + 1
Else
For i = 1 To j
Call GetPermutation(x + Mid(y, i, 1), Left(y, i - 1)
Right(y, j - i))
Next
End If
End Su
