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 for n = 3:

Given n and k, return the k^th permutation sequence.

Note:

Example 1:

Input: n = 3, k = 3
Output: "213"

Example 2:

Input: n = 4, k = 9
Output: "2314"

Solution: Math

Time complexity: O(n)
Space complexity: O(n)
