The set [1,2,3,…,n]
contains a total of n! unique permutations.
By listing and labeling all of the permutations in order,
We get the following sequence (ie, for n = 3):
"123"
"132"
"213"
"231"
"312"
"321"
Given n and k, return the kth permutation sequence.
Note: Given n will be between 1 and 9 inclusive.
public class Solution {
public String getPermutation(int n, int k) {

k = k - 1;
int factor = 1;
for (int i = 1; i < n; i++) {
factor *= i;
}
for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
int index = k / factor;
k = k % factor;
for (int j = 0; j < n; j++) {

used[j] = true;
sb.append((char) ('0' + j + 1));
