Hii...
in MATLAB, how to perform permutation and random permutation for alphabet?
ex: I want to do random permutation for [A B C], and the result should be [A B C], [A C B], [B A C],....,etc. If my question is not clear please inform me, because I just start learning MATLAB.
Thank you Muammar

Will this do?
>> perms('ABC')
Be careful if that input gets too long. The resulting attempt at creating all the permutations (which will be ginormous) will bring MATLAB to a grinding halt. Read "doc perms" for details.

So:
alphabet = 'A':'Z';
alphabet = alphabet(randperm(numel(alphabet)))
