### Lexicographic Ordering
We can find the next lexicographic ordering of an array via a procedure of "pivot", "swap", and "reverse". The function `void next(const size_t n, int A[static n])` defined in [[#Overview]] shows the details, taking in a permutation and producing the next, lexicographically speaking. To prove correctness, consider the following:
```
[ a₁ a₂ ... aᵢ | aᵢ₊₁ aᵢ₊₂ ... aₙ ]
```
Here the RHS side is the longest increasing sequence we could find, from right to left. That is, $a_{i+1} > a_{i+2} > \cdots > a_n$. Denote $a_i$ as the pivot. Next, swap the smallest element in the RHS greater than $a_i$, say $a_j$, with $a_i$. This produces
```
[ a₁ a₂ ... aⱼ | aᵢ₊₁ aᵢ₊₂ ... aᵢ ... aₙ ]
```
Notice the RHS remains in sorted order. Since $a_j$ was the next smallest element, reversing the reverse-sorted RHS produces the next permutation, lexicographically speaking:
```
[ a₁ a₂ ... aⱼ | aₙ ... aᵢ ... aᵢ₊₂ aᵢ₊₁ ]
```
Eventually the swapped $a_j$ will be the largest in the RHS ensuring that the breakpoint will eventually move one more position leftward.

## Falling Factorials
If we generalize to choosing $k \leq n$ elements of $k$ objects, we can calculate the $k$-permutation of $n$. This is denoted as $(n)_k$, sometimes called the **falling factorial**. $$(n)_k = \frac{n!}{(n - k)!}$$
