May 5, 2014 at 15:19 comment added Pinoniq just a small idea, untested. For large maxLen firstly get all possible strings for maxLen/2 and then create all combinations. This will use a lot more memory but might be faster in time. The challenge would be to determine when to use this approach and when to simply brute force as you are doing now.

Jan 3, 2014 at 21:00 comment added 200_success Another way to think about the problem is as counting in base 62. However, that doesn't necessarily yield better code.

Jan 3, 2014 at 4:41 comment added Corbin Brute force is a category, not an algorithm. It might be useful to specify what this code is supposed to do rather than just saying it's brute force. Might save the next person to read through it a minute or two :).
