Of a set of different items 'S', obtain all distinct subsets of 'n'
items where all items in the subset are different.
So, if I have, for example:
S = [ 0, 1, 2, 3 ]
the universe of available subsets of 3 items would be:
s = [ (0, 1, 2),
(0, 1, 3),
(0, 2, 3),
(1, 2, 3) ]
the universe of available subsets of 2 items would be:
s = [ (0, 1),
(0, 2),
(0, 3),
(1, 2),
(1, 3),
(2, 3) ]
Any help?
