For going on 30 years now I've had Knuth's "The Art of Computer Programming" on my shelf, with the goal of someday working my way through it.

I once had dreams of getting a cheque. Now I think I'll be lucky to finish a chapter. (If You Know You Know).

This Leetcode solution for number 31 is actually Knuth's "Algorithm L" for generating the next permutation of elements, in lexicigraphical order, in place.

@SherlockHolmesQuotes Quoted by Donald E. #Knuth at the end of one of the volumes of The Art of Computer Programming, which actually does contain 2 chapters per book, with each chapter being around 250-300 pages.

#Knuth tauchte zum ersten Mal im Protokoll der 1. Sitzung des 21. Deutschen Bundestages am 25.03.2025 auf. Das Protokoll findet sich unter https://dserver.bundestag.de/btp/21/21001.pdf

Ah, yes, the noble pursuit of finding typos in the sacred texts of computer science 🤓. Our hero spends six whole minutes unraveling the mysteries of Knuth's misplaced variables, all to earn Monopoly money from the Bank of San Serriffe 💸. Next up: critiquing Shakespeare for dangling participles. 🎭
