        for (int i = 0; i < nums.size(); i++) {

            visited[i] = true;
            list.add(nums.get(i));
            permutationHelper(result, list, nums, visited);

    }
}

　　用visited数组来记录哪些是访问过的，visited[i - 1] == false很tricky，可能存在1222......这种情况，用第二个2递归的时候，前面那个2应该是还没有访问的，所以这个时候visited[i - 1] == false。
