+"""
+Find all the permutations of a given string
+Sample input: 'ABC'
+Expected output: ['ABC', 'ACB', 'BAC', 'BCA', 'CAB', 'CBA']
+Description: The algorithm is recursive. In each recursion, each element of the string (left) is removed and added to the beginning (head). This process is repeated until left is empty.
+Time complexity: (n!)
