text: Lexicographic rank of a string | C program to find lexicographic rank of a string ; A utility function to find factorial of n ; A utility function to count smaller characters on right of arr [ low ] ; A function to find rank of a string in all permutations of characters ; count number of chars smaller than str [ i ] fron str [ i + 1 ] to str [ len - 1 ] ; Driver program to test above function
