A [[set]] is a collection (container) of certain values, without any particular order, and no repeated values. It corresponds with a finite set in mathematics. A set can be implemented as an associative array (partial mapping) in which the value of each key-value pair is ignored.
 
A   [[set]]   is a collection (container) of certain values,
Given a set S, the [[wp:Power_set|power set]] (or powerset) of S, written P(S), or 2<sup>S</sup>, is the set of all subsets of S.<br>
without any particular order, and no repeated values.
'''Task : ''' By using a library or build-in set type, or defining a set type with necessary operations, write a function with a set S as input that yields a power set 2<sup>S</sup> of S.
 
It corresponds with a finite set in mathematics.
For example, the power set of {1,2,3,4} is {{}, {1}, {2}, {1,2}, {3}, {1,3}, {2,3}, {1,2,3}, {4}, {1,4}, {2,4}, {1,2,4}, {3,4}, {1,3,4}, {2,3,4}, {1,2,3,4}}.
 
A set can be implemented as an associative array (partial mapping)
in which the value of each key-value pair is ignored.
 
Given a set S, the [[wp:Power_set|power set]] (or powerset) of S, written P(S), or 2<sup>S</sup>, is the set of all subsets of S.
 
 
;Task:
By using a library or built-in set type, or by defining a set type with necessary operations, write a function with a set S as input that yields the power set 2<sup>S</sup> of S.
 
 
For example, the power set of &nbsp; &nbsp; {1,2,3,4} &nbsp; &nbsp; is
::: {{}, {1}, {2}, {1,2}, {3}, {1,3}, {2,3}, {1,2,3}, {4}, {1,4}, {2,4}, {1,2,4}, {3,4}, {1,3,4}, {2,3,4}, {1,2,3,4}}.
 
For a set which contains n elements, the corresponding power set has 2<sup>n</sup> elements, including the edge cases of [[wp:Empty_set|empty set]].<br />
 
The power set of the empty set is the set which contains itself (2<sup>0</sup> = 1):<br />
::: <math>\mathcal{P}</math>(<math>\varnothing</math>) = { <math>\varnothing</math> }<br />
 
And the power set of the set which contains only the empty set, has two subsets, the empty set and the set which contains the empty set (2<sup>1</sup> = 2):<br />
::: <math>\mathcal{P}</math>({<math>\varnothing</math>}) = { <math>\varnothing</math>, { <math>\varnothing</math> } }<br>
 
 
'''Extra credit: ''' Demonstrate that your language supports these last two powersets.

===Lazy Version===
Compile with -version=power_set2_main to run the main.
<lang d>auto powerSet(T)(T[] xs) {
auto output = new T[xs.length];
immutable size_t len = 1U << xs.length;
 
=== Alternative: using folds ===
struct Result {
size_t bits;
@property empty() const pure nothrow { return bits == len; }
void popFront() pure nothrow { bits++; }
@property save() pure nothrow { return this; }
 
An almost verbatim translation of the Haskell code in D.
T[] front() nothrow {
size_t pos = 0;
foreach (immutable size_t i; 0 .. xs.length)
if (bits & (1 << i))
output[pos++] = xs[i];
return output[0 .. pos];
}
}
 
Since D doesn't foldr, I've also copied Haskell's foldr implementation here.
return Result();
 
Main difference from the Haskell:
#It isn't lazy (but it could be made so by implementing this as a generator)
 
Main differences from the version above:
#It isn't lazy
#It doesn't rely on integer bit fiddling, so it should work on arrays larger than size_t.

Frink's set and array classes have built-in subsets[] methods that return all subsets. If called with an array, the results are arrays. If called with a set, the results are sets.

=={{header|FunL}}==
FunL uses Scala type <code>scala.collection.immutable.Set</code> as it's set type, which has a built-in method <code>subsets</code> returning an (Scala) iterator over subsets.
 
<syntaxhighlight lang="funl">def powerset( s ) = s.subsets().toSet()</syntaxhighlight>
 
The powerset function could be implemented in FunL directly as:
 
<syntaxhighlight lang="funl">def
powerset( {} ) = {{}}
powerset( s ) =
acc = powerset( s.tail() )
acc + map( x -> {s.head()} + x, acc )</syntaxhighlight>
 
or, alternatively as:
<syntaxhighlight lang="funl">import lists.foldr
 
def powerset( s ) = foldr( \x, acc -> acc + map( a -> {x} + a, acc), {{}}, s )
 
println( powerset({1, 2, 3, 4}) )</syntaxhighlight>

'''Solution'''
 
No program needed. Power set is intrinsically supported in Fōrmulæ.
 
'''Case 1.''' Power set of the set {1, 2, 3, 4}
 
[[File:Fōrmulæ - Power set 01.png]]
 
[[File:Fōrmulæ - Power set 02.png]]
 
'''Case 2.''' The power set of the empty set is the set which contains itself.
 
[[File:Fōrmulæ - Power set 03.png]]
 
[[File:Fōrmulæ - Power set 04.png]]
 
'''Case 3.''' The power set of the set which contains only the empty set, has two subsets, the empty set and the set which contains the empty set

Builds on the [[Combinations#Groovy|Combinations]] solution. '''Sets''' are not a "natural" collection type in Groovy. '''Lists''' are much more richly supported. Thus, this solution is liberally sprinkled with coercion from '''Set''' to '''List''' and from '''List''' to '''Set'''.
<syntaxhighlight lang ="groovy">def comb
def powerSetRec(head, tail) {
comb = { m, List list ->
if (!tail) return [head]
def n = list.size()
powerSetRec(head, tail.tail()) + powerSetRec(head + [tail.head()], tail.tail())
m == 0 ?
[[]] :
(0..(n-m)).inject([]) { newlist, k ->
def sublist = (k+1 == n) ? [] : list[(k+1)..<n]
newlist += comb(m-1, sublist).collect { [list[k]] + it }
}
}
 
def powerSet =(set) { powerSetRec([], set ->as List) as Set}
</syntaxhighlight>
(0..(set.size())).inject([]){ list, i -> list + comb(i,set as List)}.collect { it as LinkedHashSet } as LinkedHashSet
}</lang>
 
Test program:
<syntaxhighlight lang="groovy">
<lang groovy>def vocalists = [ "C", "S", "N", "Y" ] as LinkedHashSet
def vocalists = [ 'C', 'S', 'N', 'Y' ] as Set
println "${vocalists}"
println powerSet(vocalists)</lang>
println powerSet(vocalists)
</syntaxhighlight>
 
{{out}}
Output:
<pre>[C, S, N, Y]
[C, S, N, Y]
[[], [C], [S], [N], [Y], [C, S], [C, N], [C, Y], [S, N], [S, Y], [N, Y], [C, S, N], [C, S, Y], [C, N, Y], [S, N, Y], [C, S, N, Y]]</pre>

</pre>
Note: In this example, '''LinkedHashSet''' was used throughout for '''Set''' coercion. This is because '''LinkedHashSet''' preserves the order of input, like a '''List'''. However, if order does not matter you could replace all references to '''LinkedHashSet''' with '''Set'''.

There are a [http://www.jsoftware.com/jwiki/Essays/Power_Set number of ways] to generate a power set in J. Here's one:
<langsyntaxhighlight lang="j">ps =: #~ 2 #:@i.@^ #</langsyntaxhighlight>
For example:
<langsyntaxhighlight lang="j"> ps 'ACE'
E
Line 1,041 ⟶ 2,024:
AE
AC
ACE</langsyntaxhighlight>
 
In the typical use, this operation makes sense on collections of unique elements.
 
<langsyntaxhighlight Jlang="j"> ~.1 2 3 2 1
1 2 3
#ps 1 2 3 2 1
32
#ps ~.1 2 3 2 1
8</langsyntaxhighlight>
 
In other words, the power set of a 5 element set has 32 sets where the power set of a 3 element set has 8 sets. Thus if elements of the original "set" were not unique then sets of the power "set" will also not be unique sets.
Line 1,059 ⟶ 2,042:
[[Category:Recursion]]
This implementation sorts each subset, but not the whole list of subsets (which would require a custom comparator). It also destroys the original set.

===Binary String===
This implementation works on idea that each element in the original set can either be in the power set or not in it. With <tt>n</tt> elements in the original set, each combination can be represented by a binary string of length <tt>n</tt>. To get all possible combinations, all you need is a counter from 0 to 2<sup>n</sup> - 1. If the k<sup>th</sup> bit in the binary string is 1, the k<sup>th</sup> element of the original set is in this combination.

Perl does not have a built-in set data-type. However, you can...
or
 
<lang perl>use List::Util qw(reduce);
=== Module: [https://metacpan.org/pod/Algorithm::Combinatorics Algorithm::Combinatorics] ===
 
This module has an iterator over the power set. Note that it does not enforce that the input array is a set (no duplication). If each subset is processed immediately, this has an advantage of very low memory use.
<syntaxhighlight lang="perl">use Algorithm::Combinatorics "subsets";
my @S = ("a","b","c");
my @PS;
my $iter = subsets(\@S);
while (my $p = $iter->next) {
push @PS, "[@$p]"
}
say join(" ",@PS);</syntaxhighlight>
{{out}}
<pre>[a b c] [b c] [a c] [c] [a b] [b] [a] []</pre>
 
=== Module: [https://metacpan.org/pod/ntheory ntheory] ===
{{libheader|ntheory}}
The simplest solution is to use the one argument version of the combination iterator, which iterates over the power set.
<syntaxhighlight lang="perl">use ntheory "forcomb";
my @S = qw/a b c/;
forcomb { print "[@S[@_]] " } scalar(@S);
print "\n";</syntaxhighlight>
{{out}}
<pre>[] [a] [b] [c] [a b] [a c] [b c] [a b c]</pre>
 
Using the two argument version of the iterator gives a solution similar to the Raku and Python array versions.
<syntaxhighlight lang="perl">use ntheory "forcomb";
my @S = qw/a b c/;
for $k (0..@S) {
# Iterate over each $#S+1,$k combination.
forcomb { print "[@S[@_]] " } @S,$k;
}
print "\n";</syntaxhighlight>
{{out}}
<pre>[] [a] [b] [c] [a b] [a c] [b c] [a b c] </pre>
 
Similar to the Pari/GP solution, one can also use <tt>vecextract</tt> with an integer mask to select elements. Note that it does not enforce that the input array is a set (no duplication). This also has low memory if each subset is processed immediately and the range is applied with a loop rather than a map. A solution using <tt>vecreduce</tt> could be done identical to the array reduce solution shown later.
<syntaxhighlight lang="perl">use ntheory "vecextract";
my @S = qw/a b c/;
my @PS = map { "[".join(" ",vecextract(\@S,$_))."]" } 0..2**scalar(@S)-1;
say join(" ",@PS);</syntaxhighlight>
{{out}}
<pre>[] [a] [b] [a b] [c] [a c] [b c] [a b c]</pre>
 
=== Module: [https://metacpan.org/pod/Set::Object Set::Object] ===
 
The CPAN module [https://metacpan.org/pod/Set::Object Set::Object] provides a set implementation for sets of arbitrary objects, for which a powerset function could be defined and used like so:
 
<syntaxhighlight lang="perl">use Set::Object qw(set);
 
sub powerset {
my $p = Set::Object->new( set() );
@{ (reduce { [@$a, map([@$_, $b], @$a)] } [[]], @_) }
foreach my $i (shift->elements) {
}</lang>
$p->insert( map { set($_->elements, $i) } $p->elements );
=={{header|Perl 6}}==
}
return $p;
}
 
my $set = set(1, 2, 3);
my $powerset = powerset($set);
 
print $powerset->as_string, "\n";</syntaxhighlight>
 
{{out}}
<pre>Set::Object(Set::Object() Set::Object(1 2 3) Set::Object(1 2) Set::Object(1 3) Set::Object(1) Set::Object(2 3) Set::Object(2) Set::Object(3))</pre>
 
=== Simple custom hash-based set type ===
 
It's also easy to define a custom type for sets of strings or numbers,
using a hash as the underlying representation (like the task description suggests):
 
<syntaxhighlight lang="perl">package Set {
sub new { bless { map {$_ => undef} @_[1..$#_] }, shift; }
sub elements { sort keys %{shift()} }
sub as_string { 'Set(' . join(' ', sort keys %{shift()}) . ')' }
# ...more set methods could be defined here...
}</syntaxhighlight>
 
''(Note: For a ready-to-use module that uses this approach, and comes with all the standard set methods that you would expect, see the CPAN module [https://metacpan.org/pod/Set::Tiny Set::Tiny])''
 
The limitation of this approach is that only primitive strings/numbers are allowed as hash keys in Perl, so a Set of Set's cannot be represented, and the return value of our powerset function will thus have to be a ''list'' of sets rather than being a Set object itself.
 
We could implement the function as an imperative foreach loop similar to the <code>Set::Object</code> based solution above, but using list folding (with the help of Perl's <code>List::Util</code> core module) seems a little more elegant in this case:
 
<syntaxhighlight lang="perl">use List::Util qw(reduce);
 
sub powerset {
@{( reduce { [@$a, map { Set->new($_->elements, $b) } @$a ] }
[Set->new()], shift->elements )};
}
 
my $set = Set->new(1, 2, 3);
my @subsets = powerset($set);
 
print $_->as_string, "\n" for @subsets;</syntaxhighlight>
 
{{out}}
<pre>
Set()
Set(1)
Set(2)
Set(1 2)
Set(3)
Set(1 3)
Set(2 3)
Set(1 2 3)
</pre>
 
=== Arrays ===
 
If you don't actually need a proper set data-type that guarantees uniqueness of its elements, the simplest approach is to use arrays to store "sets" of items, in which case the implementation of the powerset function becomes quite short.
 
Recursive solution:
<syntaxhighlight lang="perl">sub powerset {
@_ ? map { $_, [$_[0], @$_] } powerset(@_[1..$#_]) : [];
}</syntaxhighlight>
 
List folding solution:
 
<syntaxhighlight lang="perl">use List::Util qw(reduce);
 
sub powerset {
@{( reduce { [@$a, map([@$_, $b], @$a)] } [[]], @_ )}
}</syntaxhighlight>
 
Usage & output:
<syntaxhighlight lang="perl">my @set = (1, 2, 3);
my @powerset = powerset(@set);
 
sub set_to_string {
"{" . join(", ", map { ref $_ ? set_to_string(@$_) : $_ } @_) . "}"
}
 
print set_to_string(@powerset), "\n";</syntaxhighlight>
{{out}}
<pre>
{{}, {1}, {2}, {1, 2}, {3}, {1, 3}, {2, 3}, {1, 2, 3}}
</pre>
 
=== Lazy evaluation ===
If the initial set is quite large, constructing it's powerset all at once can consume lots of memory.
 
If you want to iterate through all of the elements of the powerset of a set, and don't mind each element being generated immediately before you process it, and being thrown away immediately after you're done with it, you can use vastly less memory. This is similar to the earlier solutions using the Algorithm::Combinatorics and ntheory modules.
 
The following algorithm uses one bit of memory for every element of the original set (technically it uses several bytes per element with current versions of Perl). This is essentially doing a <tt>vecextract</tt> operation by hand.
 
<syntaxhighlight lang="perl">use strict;
use warnings;
sub powerset :prototype(&@) {
my $callback = shift;
my $bitmask = '';
my $bytes = @_/8;
{
my @indices = grep vec($bitmask, $_, 1), 0..$#_;
$callback->( @_[@indices] );
++vec($bitmask, $_, 8) and last for 0 .. $bytes;
redo if @indices != @_;
}
}
 
print "powerset of empty set:\n";
powerset { print "[@_]\n" };
print "powerset of set {1,2,3,4}:\n";
powerset { print "[@_]\n" } 1..4;
my $i = 0;
powerset { ++$i } 1..9;
print "The powerset of a nine element set contains $i elements.\n";
</syntaxhighlight>
{{out}}
<pre>powerset of empty set:
[]
powerset of set {1,2,3,4}:
[]
[1]
[2]
[1 2]
[3]
[1 3]
[2 3]
[1 2 3]
[4]
[1 4]
[2 4]
[1 2 4]
[3 4]
[1 3 4]
[2 3 4]
[1 2 3 4]
The powerset of a nine element set contains 512 elements.
 
</pre>
The technique shown above will work with arbitrarily large sets, and uses a trivial amount of memory.

==== Further Explanation ====
If you take out the requirement to produce sets and produce list versions of each powerset element, then add a print to trace the execution, you get this simplified version of the program above where it is easier to trace the inner workings
<langsyntaxhighlight lang="python">def powersetlist(s):
r = [[]]
for e in s:
Line 1,637 ⟶ 3,346:
 
s= [0,1,2,3]
print "\npowersetlist(%r) =\n %r" % (s, powersetlist(s))</langsyntaxhighlight>
 
{{out}}
Sample output:
<pre>r: [[]] e: 0
r: [[], [0]] e: 1
Line 1,652 ⟶ 3,361:
If you list the members of the set and include them according to if the corresponding bit position of a binary count is true then you generate the powerset.
(Note that only frozensets can be members of a set in the second function)

=={{header|Quackery}}==
 
Quackery is, when seen from a certain perspective, an assembly language that recognises
only three types, "operators", which correspond to op-codes, "numbers" i.e. bignums, and
"nests" which are ordered sequences of zero of more operator, bignums and nests. Everything
else is a matter of interpretation.
 
Integers can be used as a set of natural numbers, with (in binary) 0 corresponding to the
empty set, 1 corresponding to the set of the natural number 1, 10 corresponding to the set
of the natural number 2, 11 corresponding to the set of the natural numbers 1 and 2, and so
on. With this sort of set, enumerating the powerset of the numbers 0 to 4, for example
simply consists of enumerating the numbers 0 to 15 inclusive. Operations on this sort of
set, such as union and intersection, correspond to bitwise logic operators.
 
The other way of implementing sets is with nests, with each item in a nest corresponding
to an item in the set. This is computationally slower and more complex to code, but has the
advantage that it permits sets of sets, which are required for this task.

===Non-recursive version===
The conceptual basis for this algorithm is the following:
<syntaxhighlight lang="text">for each element in the set:
for each subset constructed so far:
new subset = (subset + element)
</syntaxhighlight>
 
This method is much faster than a recursive method, though the speed is still O(2^n).
 
<syntaxhighlight lang="r">powerset <- function(set){
ps <- list()
ps[[1]] <- numeric() #Start with the empty set.
for(element in set){ #For each element in the set, take all subsets
temp <- vector(mode="list",length=length(ps)) #currently in "ps" and create new subsets (in "temp")
for(subset in 1:length(ps)){ #by adding "element" to each of them.
temp[[subset]] = c(ps[[subset]],element)
}
ps <- c(ps,temp) #Add the additional subsets ("temp") to "ps".
}
ps
}
 
powerset(1:4)

The list "temp" is a compromise between the speed costs of doing
arithmetic and of creating new lists (since R lists are immutable,
appending to a list means actually creating a new list object).
Thus, "temp" collects new subsets that are later added to the power set.
This improves the speed by 4x compared to extending the list "ps" at every step.
 
===Recursive version===
{{libheader|sets}}
The sets package includes a recursive method to calculate the power set.
R does not have a definition of a set in the standard distribution. We need to use the sets package.
However, this method takes ~100 times longer than the non-recursive method above.

=={{header|TXR}}==
 
The power set function can be written concisely like this:
{{trans|Common Lisp}}
 
<syntaxhighlight lang="txr">(defun power-set (s)
(mappend* (op comb s) (range 0 (length s))))</syntaxhighlight>
 
This generates the lists of combinations of all possible lengths, from 0 to the length of <code>s</code> and catenates them. The <code>comb</code> function generates a lazy list, so it is appropriate to use <code>mappend*</code> (the lazy version of <code>mappend</code>) to keep the behavior lazy.
 
A complete program which takes command line arguments and prints the power set in comma-separated brace notation:
 
<syntaxhighlight lang="txr">@(do (defun power-set (s)
<lang txr>@(next :args)
(mappend* (op comb s) (range 0 (length s)))))
@(do (defun power-set (s)
@(bind pset @(power-set *args*))
(reduce-right
(lambda (item ps)
(append (mapcar (lambda (e) (cons item e)) ps) ps)) s '(()) nil)))
@(collect :vars (arg))
@arg
@(end)
@(bind pset @(power-set arg))
@(output)
@ (repeat)
{@(rep)@pset, @(last)@pset@(empty)@(end)}
@ (end)
@(end)</langsyntaxhighlight>

The above <code>power-set</code> function
generalizes to strings and vectors.

Although we have a module for sets, they are based on maps whose keys must be value types. This means that sets of sets are technically impossible because sets themselves are not value types.
 
We therefore use lists to represent sets which works fine here.
