C# || How To Generate Subsets From Array With Distinct Values Using C#

October 27, 2021 admin No comments

The following is a module with functions which demonstrates how to generate subsets from an array with distinct values using C#.

1. Subsets – Problem Statement

Given an integer array nums of unique elements, return all possible subsets (the power set).

The solution set must not contain duplicate subsets. Return the solution in any order.

Example 1:

Input: nums = [1,2,3] Output: [[],[1],[2],[1,2],[3],[1,3],[2,3],[1,2,3]]

Example 2:

Input: nums = [0] Output: [[],[0]]

2. Subsets – Solution

The following is a solution which demonstrates how to generate subsets from an array with distinct values.

This solution uses bit manipulation to generate 2^n possibilities based of the array length, and then adds items to the result list if the array index is a valid bit based off of the subset possibilities.

QUICK NOTES:
The highlighted lines are sections of interest to look out for.

The code is heavily commented, so no further insight is necessary. If you have any questions, feel free to leave a comment below.

Once compiled, you should get this as your output for the example cases:

[[],[1],[2],[1,2],[3],[1,3],[2,3],[1,2,3]] [[],[0]]
