I don't know how this code works,can you please explain about it
// A Java program to print all subsets of a set
import java.io.IOException;
import java.util.Scanner;
class Main
{
// Print all subsets of given set[]
static void printSubsets(char set[])
{
int n = set.length;
// Run a loop for printing all 2^n
// subsets one by one
for (int i = 0; i < (1<<n); i++)
{
System.out.print("{ ");
// Print current subset
for (int j = 0; j < n; j++)
// (1<<j) is a number with jth bit 1
// so when we 'and' them with the
// subset number we get which numbers
// are present in the subset and which
// are not
if ((i & (1 << j)) > 0)
System.out.print(set[j] + " ");
System.out.println("}");
}
}
// Driver code
public static void main(String[] args)
{ Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);
char[] set = in.nextLine().replaceAll("[?!^]","").toCharArray();
//char[] set = in.nextLine().split("(?!^)").toCharArray();
//char set[] = {'a', 'b', 'c'};
printSubsets(set);
in.close();
}
}
and basically I can't think recursively and I have problem with it, if there is anything I can do please tell me
This code prints all subsets of symbols. Let assume your string conatins N symbols and each symbol is unique. Then to make subset we can include/exclude each symbol - that gives us 2 combination for one position; with N symbols - we multiply them all and receive 2^N combinations.
For example: abcd We can associate subsets {a,b,c} -> 1110; {a,d} -> 1001; {b} -> 0100; {} -> 0000; and so on
1 << N - is bit operation that gives 2^N (or number with N bits)
(1 << j) - get 1 in j-th bit
(i & (1 << j)) - chech the j-th bit in number
Also, this program is NOT recursive - it is linear and done with cycle
