Algorithm:
If S = (a, b, c) then the powerset(S) is the set of all subsets
powerset(S) = {(), (a), (b), (c), (a,b), (a,c), (b,c), (a,b,c)}
The first "trick" is to try to define recursively.
What would be a stop state?
S = () has what powerset(S)?
How get to it?
Reduce set by one element
Consider taking an element out - in the above example, take out {c}
S = (a,b) then powerset(S) = {(), (a), (b), (a,b), }
What is missing?
powerset(S) = { (c), (a,c), (b,c), (a,b,c)}
hmmm
Notice any similarities? Look again...
powerset(S) = {(), (a), (b), (c), (a,b), (a,c), (b,c), (a,b,c)}
take any element out
powerset(S) = {(), (a), (b), (c), (a,b), (a,c), (b,c), (a,b,c)} IS
powerset(S - {c}) = {(), (a), (b), (a,b)} unioned with
{c} U powerset(S - {c}) = { (c), (a,c), (b,c), (a,b,c)}
powerset(S) = powerset(S - {ei}) U ({ei} U powerset(S - {ei}))
where ei is an element of S (a singleton)
Pseudo-algorithm
Go backwards:
powerset(S) when S = {()} is {()}
powerset(S) when S = {(a)} is {(), (a)}
powerset(S) when S = {(a,b)} is {(), (a), (b), (a,b)}
etc...
Power Set Power set P(S) of a set S is the set of all subsets of S. For example S = {a, b, c} then P(s) = {{}, {a}, {b}, {c}, {a,b}, {a, c}, {b, c}, {a, b, c}}.
If S has n elements in it then P(s) will have 2^n elements

Algorithm:
Input: Set[], set_size
1. Get the size of power set
powet_set_size = pow(2, set_size)
2 Loop for counter from 0 to pow_set_size
(a) Loop for i = 0 to set_size
(i) If ith bit in counter is set
Print ith element from set for this subset
(b) Print seperator for subsets i.e., newline
