You are encouraged to solve this task according to the task description, using any language you may know.
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.
Given a set S, the power set (or powerset) of S, written P(S), or 2S, 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 2S of S.
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}}.
For a set which contains n elements, the corresponding power set has 2n elements, including the edge cases of empty set.
The power set of the empty set is the set which contains itself (20 = 1):
() = { }
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 (21 = 2):
({}) = { , { } }
Ada
This solution prints the power set of words read from the command line. <lang ada>with Ada.Text_IO, Ada.Command_Line;
procedure Power_Set is
type List is array (Positive range <>) of Positive; Empty: List(1 .. 0); procedure Print_All_Subsets(Set: List; Printable: List:= Empty) is
procedure Print_Set(Items: List) is
First: Boolean := True;
begin
Ada.Text_IO.Put("{ "); for Item of Items loop if First then First := False; -- no comma needed else Ada.Text_IO.Put(", "); -- comma, to separate the items end if; Ada.Text_IO.Put(Ada.Command_Line.Argument(Item)); end loop; Ada.Text_IO.Put_Line(" }");
end Print_Set;
Tail: List := Set(Set'First+1 .. Set'Last);
begin
if Set = Empty then
Print_Set(Printable);
else
Print_All_Subsets(Tail, Printable & Set(Set'First)); Print_All_Subsets(Tail, Printable);
end if; end Print_All_Subsets; Set: List(1 .. Ada.Command_Line.Argument_Count);
begin
for I in Set'Range loop -- initialize set
Set(I) := I;
end loop;
Print_All_Subsets(Set); -- do the work
end Power_Set;</lang>

It would also be possible to define an object which is the powerset of a provided set without actually instantiating all of its members immediately.

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

Go
No native set type in Go. While the associative array trick mentioned in the task description works well in Go in most situations, it does not work here because we need sets of sets, and converting a general set to a hashable value for a map key is non-trivial.
Instead, this solution uses a simple (non-associative) slice as a set representation. To ensure uniqueness, the element interface requires an equality method, which is used by the set add method. Adding elements with the add method ensures the uniqueness property.
The power set method implemented here does not need the add method though. The algorithm ensures that the result will be a valid set as long as the input is a valid set. This allows the more efficient append function to be used. <lang go>package main
import (
"bytes" "fmt" "strconv"
)
// types needed to implement general purpose sets are element and set
// element is an interface, allowing different kinds of elements to be // implemented and stored in sets. type elem interface {
// an element must be distinguishable from other elements to satisfy // the mathematical definition of a set. a.eq(b) must give the same // result as b.eq(a). Eq(element) bool // String result is used only for printable output. Given a, b where // a.eq(b), it is not required that a.String() == b.String(). fmt.Stringer
}
// integer type satisfying element interface type Int int
func (i Int) Eq(e elem) bool {
j, ok := e.(Int) return ok && i == j
}
func (i Int) String() string {
return strconv.Itoa(int(i))
}
// a set is a slice of elem's. methods are added to implement // the element interface, to allow nesting. type set []elem

Groovy
Builds on the 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. <lang groovy>def comb comb = { m, List list ->
def n = list.size()
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 ->
(0..(set.size())).inject([]){ list, i -> list + comb(i,set as List)}.collect { it as LinkedHashSet } as LinkedHashSet
}</lang>
Test program: <lang groovy>def vocalists = [ "C", "S", "N", "Y" ] as LinkedHashSet println "${vocalists}" println powerSet(vocalists)</lang>
Output:
[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]]
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.
Haskell
<lang Haskell>import Data.Set import Control.Monad
powerset :: Ord a => Set a -> Set (Set a) powerset = fromList . fmap fromList . listPowerset . toList
listPowerset :: [a] -> a listPowerset = filterM (const [True, False])</lang> listPowerset describes the result as all possible (using the list monad) filterings (using filterM) of the input list, regardless (using const) of each item's value. powerset simply converts the input and output from lists to sets.
Alternate Solution <lang Haskell>powerset [] = [[]] powerset (head:tail) = acc ++ map (head:) acc where acc = powerset tail</lang> or <lang Haskell>powerset = foldr (\x acc -> acc ++ map (x:) acc) [[]]</lang> Examples:
*Main> listPowerset [1,2,3]
[[1,2,3],[1,2],[1,3],[1],[2,3],[2],[3],[]]
*Main> powerset (Data.Set.fromList [1,2,3])

Prelude> import Data.List Prelude Data.List> subsequences [1,2,3] [[],[1],[2],[1,2],[3],[1,3],[2,3],[1,2,3]]
Alternate solution
A method using only set operations and set mapping is also possible. Ideally, Set would be defined as a Monad, but that's impossible given the constraint that the type of inputs to Set.map (and a few other functions) be ordered.
<lang Haskell>import qualified Data.Set as Set
type Set=Set.Set
unionAll :: (Ord a) => Set (Set a) -> Set a
unionAll = Set.fold Set.union Set.empty
--slift is the analogue of liftA2 for sets. slift :: (Ord a, Ord b, Ord c) => (a->b->c) -> Set a -> Set b -> Set c slift f s0 s1 = unionAll (Set.map (\e->Set.map (f e) s1) s0)
--a -> {{},{a}} makeSet :: (Ord a) => a -> Set (Set a) makeSet = (Set.insert Set.empty) . Set.singleton.Set.singleton
powerSet :: (Ord a) => Set a -> Set (Set a) powerSet = (Set.fold (slift Set.union) (Set.singleton Set.empty)) . Set.map makeSet</lang> Usage: <lang Haskell> Prelude Data.Set> powerSet fromList [1,2,3] fromList [fromList [], fromList [1], fromList [1,2], fromList [1,2,3], fromList [1,3], fromList [2], fromList [2,3], fromList [3]]</lang>
Icon and Unicon
The two examples below show the similarities and differences between constructing an explicit representation of the solution, i.e. a set containing the powerset, and one using generators. The basic recursive algorithm is the same in each case, but wherever the first stores part of the result away, the second uses 'suspend' to immediately pass the result back to the caller. The caller may then decide to store the results in a set, a list, or dispose of each one as it appears.
Set building
The following version returns a set containing the powerset:
<lang Icon> procedure power_set (s)
result := set ()
if *s = 0
then insert (result, set ()) # empty set
else {
head := set(?s) # take a random element
# and find powerset of remaining part of set
tail_pset := power_set (x -- head)
result ++:= tail_pset # add powerset of remainder to results
every ps := !tail_pset do # and add head to each powerset from the remainder
insert (result, ps ++ head)
}
return result
end </lang>
To test the above procedure:
<lang Icon> procedure main ()
every s := !power_set (set(1,2,3,4)) do { # requires '!' to generate items in the result set
writes ("[ ")
every writes (!s || " ")
write ("]")
}
end </lang>
Output:
[ 3 ] [ 4 3 ] [ 2 4 ] [ 2 3 ] [ 1 3 ] [ 4 ] [ 2 ] [ 2 1 3 ] [ 2 4 1 ] [ 4 1 3 ] [ 2 4 1 3 ] [ ] [ 2 4 3 ] [ 1 ] [ 4 1 ] [ 2 1 ]
Generator
An alternative version, which generates each item in the power set in turn:
<lang Icon> procedure power_set (s)
if *s = 0
then suspend set ()
else {
head := set(?s)
every ps := power_set (s -- head) do {
suspend ps
suspend ps ++ head
}
}
end
procedure main ()
every s := power_set (set(1,2,3,4)) do { # power_set's values are generated by 'every'
writes ("[ ")
every writes (!s || " ")
write ("]")
}
end </lang>
J
There are a number of ways to generate a power set in J. Here's one: <lang j>ps =: #~ 2 #:@i.@^ #</lang> For example: <lang j> ps 'ACE'
E C CE A AE AC ACE</lang>
In the typical use, this operation makes sense on collections of unique elements.
<lang J> ~.1 2 3 2 1 1 2 3
#ps 1 2 3 2 1
32
#ps ~.1 2 3 2 1
8</lang>
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.
Java
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. <lang java5>public static ArrayList<String> getpowerset(int a[],int n,ArrayList<String> ps)
{
if(n<0)
{
return null;
}
if(n==0)
{
if(ps==null)
ps=new ArrayList<String>();
ps.add(" ");
return ps;
}
ps=getpowerset(a, n-1, ps);
ArrayList<String> tmp=new ArrayList<String>();
for(String s:ps)
{
if(s.equals(" "))
tmp.add(""+a[n-1]);
else
tmp.add(s+a[n-1]);
}
ps.addAll(tmp);
return ps;
}</lang>
Iterative
The iterative implementation of the above idea. Each subset is in the order that the element appears in the input list. This implementation preserves the input. <lang java5> public static <T> List<List<T>> powerset(Collection<T> list) {
List<List<T>> ps = new ArrayList<List<T>>(); ps.add(new ArrayList<T>()); // add the empty set
// for every item in the original list
for (T item : list) {
List<List<T>> newPs = new ArrayList<List<T>>();
for (List<T> subset : ps) {
// copy all of the current powerset's subsets
newPs.add(subset);
// plus the subsets appended with the current item
List<T> newSubset = new ArrayList<T>(subset);
newSubset.add(item);
newPs.add(newSubset);
}
// powerset is now powerset of list.subList(0, list.indexOf(item)+1) ps = newPs; } return ps;
} </lang>
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 n elements in the original set, each combination can be represented by a binary string of length n. To get all possible combinations, all you need is a counter from 0 to 2n - 1. If the kth bit in the binary string is 1, the kth element of the original set is in this combination. <lang java5>public static <T extends Comparable<? super T>> LinkedList<LinkedList<T>> BinPowSet( LinkedList<T> A){ LinkedList<LinkedList<T>> ans= new LinkedList<LinkedList<T>>(); int ansSize = (int)Math.pow(2, A.size()); for(int i= 0;i< ansSize;++i){ String bin= Integer.toBinaryString(i); //convert to binary while(bin.length() < A.size()) bin = "0" + bin; //pad with 0's LinkedList<T> thisComb = new LinkedList<T>(); //place to put one combination for(int j= 0;j< A.size();++j){ if(bin.charAt(j) == '1')thisComb.add(A.get(j)); } Collections.sort(thisComb); //sort it for easy checking ans.add(thisComb); //put this set in the answer list } return ans; }</lang>

Mathematica
Built-in function that either gives all possible subsets, subsets with at most n elements, subsets with exactly n elements or subsets containing between n and m elements. Example of all subsets: <lang Mathematica>Subsets[{a, b, c}]</lang> gives: <lang Mathematica>{{}, {a}, {b}, {c}, {a, b}, {a, c}, {b, c}, {a, b, c}}</lang> Subsets[list, {n, Infinity}] gives all the subsets that have n elements or more.
Subsets[list, n] gives all the subsets that have at most n elements.
Subsets[list, {n}] gives all the subsets that have exactly n elements.
Subsets[list, {m,n}] gives all the subsets that have between m and n elements.
MATLAB
Sets are not an explicit data type in MATLAB, but cell arrays can be used for the same purpose. In fact, cell arrays have the benefit of containing any kind of data structure. So, this powerset function will work on a set of any type of data structure, without the need to overload any operators.
<lang MATLAB>function pset = powerset(theSet)
pset = cell(size(theSet)); %Preallocate memory
%Generate all numbers from 0 to 2^(num elements of the set)-1
for i = ( 0:(2^numel(theSet))-1 )
%Convert i into binary, convert each digit in binary to a boolean
%and store that array of booleans
indicies = logical(bitget( i,(1:numel(theSet)) ));
%Use the array of booleans to extract the members of the original
%set, and store the set containing these members in the powerset
pset(i+1) = {theSet(indicies)};
end
end</lang>
Sample Usage: Powerset of the set of the empty set. <lang MATLAB>powerset({{}})
ans =
{} {1x1 cell} %This is the same as { {},{{}} }</lang>
Powerset of { {1,2},3 }. <lang MATLAB>powerset({{1,2},3})
ans =
{1x0 cell} {1x1 cell} {1x1 cell} {1x2 cell} %This is the same as { {},Template:1,2,{3},{{1,2},3} }</lang>

OCaml
The standard library already implements a proper Set datatype. As the base type is unspecified, the powerset must be parameterized as a module. Also, the library is lacking a map operation, which we have to implement first.
<lang ocaml>module PowerSet(S: Set.S) = struct
include Set.Make (S)
let map f s = let work x r = add (f x) r in fold work s empty ;;
let powerset s = let base = singleton (S.empty) in let work x r = union r (map (S.add x) r) in S.fold work s base ;;
end;; (* PowerSet *)</lang>
version for lists: <lang ocaml>let subsets xs = List.fold_right (fun x rest -> rest @ List.map (fun ys -> x::ys) rest) xs [[]]</lang>

execute {
writeln(s2);
} </lang>
which gives
<lang result>
[{} {"A"} {"B"} {"A" "B"} {"C"} {"A" "C"} {"B" "C"} {"A" "B" "C"} {"D"} {"A"

Oz
Oz has a library for finite set constraints. Creating a power set is a trivial application of that: <lang oz>declare
%% Given a set as a list, returns its powerset (again as a list)
fun {Powerset Set}
proc {Describe Root}
%% Describe sets by lower bound (nil) and upper bound (Set)
Root = {FS.var.bounds nil Set}
%% enumerate all possible sets
{FS.distribute naive [Root]}
end
AllSets = {SearchAll Describe}
in
%% convert to list representation
{Map AllSets FS.reflect.lowerBoundList}
end
in
{Inspect {Powerset [1 2 3 4]}}</lang>
A more convential implementation without finite set constaints: <lang oz>fun {Powerset2 Set}
case Set of nil then [nil]
[] H|T thens
Acc = {Powerset2 T}
in
{Append Acc {Map Acc fun {$ A} H|A end}}
end
end</lang>
PARI/GP
<lang parigp>vector(1<<#S,i,vecextract(S,i-1))</lang>
Perl
Perl does not have a built-in set data-type. However, you can...
Use a third-party module
The CPAN module Set::Object provides a set implementation for sets of arbitrary objects, for which a powerset function could be defined and used like so:
<lang perl>use Set::Object qw(set);
sub powerset {
my $p = Set::Object->new( set() ); foreach my $i (shift->elements) { $p->insert( map { set($_->elements, $i) } $p->elements ); } return $p;}
my $set = set(1, 2, 3); my $powerset = powerset($set);
print $powerset->as_string, "\n";</lang>
Output:
Set::Object(Set::Object() Set::Object(1 2 3) Set::Object(1 2) Set::Object(1 3) Set::Object(1) Set::Object(2 3) Set::Object(2) Set::Object(3))
Use a simple custom hash-based set type
It's also easy to define a custom type for sets of strings or numbers, using a hash as the underlying representation (like the task description suggests):
<lang perl>package Set {
sub new { bless { map {$_ => undef} @_[1..$#_] }, shift; } sub elements { sort keys %{shift()} } sub as_string { 'Set(' . join(' ', sort keys %{shift()}) . ')' } # ...more set methods could be defined here...}</lang>
(Note: For a ready-to-use module that uses this approach, and comes with all the standard set methods that you would expect, see the CPAN module Set::Tiny)
The limitation of this approach is that only primitive strings/numbers are allowed as hash keys in Perl, so a Set of Set's cannot be represented, and the return value of our powerset function will thus have to be a list of sets rather than being a Set object itself.
We could implement the function as an imperative foreach loop similar to the
Set::Objectbased solution above, but using list folding (with the help of Perl'sList::Utilcore module) seems a little more elegant in this case:<lang perl>use List::Util qw(reduce);
sub powerset {
@{( reduce { [@$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;</lang>
Output:
Set() Set(1) Set(2) Set(1 2) Set(3) Set(1 3) Set(2 3) Set(1 2 3)
Use 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: <lang perl>sub powerset {
@_ ? map { $_, [$_[0], @$_] } powerset(@_[1..$#_]) : [];}</lang>
List folding solution:
<lang perl>use List::Util qw(reduce);
sub powerset {
@{( reduce { [@$a, map([@$_, $b], @$a)] } [[]], @_ )}}</lang>
Usage & output:
<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";</lang>
{{}, {1}, {2}, {1, 2}, {3}, {1, 3}, {2, 3}, {1, 2, 3}}
Perl 6
<lang perl6>sub powerset(Set $s) { $s.combinations.map(*.Set).Set } say powerset set <a b c d>;</lang>
- Output:
set(set(), set(a), set(b), set(c), set(d), set(a, b), set(a, c), set(a, d), set(b, c), set(b, d), set(c, d), set(a, b, c), set(a, b, d), set(a, c, d), set(b, c, d), set(a, b, c, d))
If you don't care about the actual Set type, the .combinations method by itself may be good enough for you: <lang perl6>.say for <a b c d>.combinations</lang>
- Output:
a b c d a b a c a d b c b d c d a b c a b d a c d b c d a b c d

Prolog
Logical (cut-free) Definition
The predicate powerset(X,Y) defined here can be read as "Y is the powerset of X", it being understood that lists are used to represent sets.
The predicate subseq(X,Y) is true if and only if the list X is a subsequence of the list Y.
The definitions here are elementary, logical (cut-free), and efficient (within the class of comparably generic implementations). <lang Prolog>powerset(X,Y) :- bagof( S, subseq(S,X), Y).
subseq( [], []). subseq( [], [_|_]). subseq( [X|Xs], [X|Ys] ) :- subseq(Xs, Ys). subseq( [X|Xs], [_|Ys] ) :- append(_, [X|Zs], Ys), subseq(Xs, Zs). </lang> Output :
?- powerset([1,2,3], X). X = [[], [1], [1, 2], [1, 2, 3], [1, 3], [2], [2, 3], [3]]. % Symbolic: ?- powerset( [X,Y], S). S = [[], [X], [X, Y], [Y]]. % In reverse: ?- powerset( [X,Y], [[], [1], [1, 2], [2]] ). X = 1, Y = 2.
Single-Functor Definition
<lang Prolog>power_set( [], [[]]). power_set( [X|Xs], PS) :-
power_set(Xs, PS1), maplist( append([X]), PS1, PS2 ), % i.e. prepend X to each PS1 append(PS1, PS2, PS).</lang>
Output :
?- power_set([1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8], X), length(X,N), writeln(N). 256
Constraint Handling Rules
CHR is a programming language created by Professor Thom Frühwirth.
Works with SWI-Prolog and module chr written by Tom Schrijvers and Jan Wielemaker.
<lang Prolog>:- use_module(library(chr)).
- - chr_constraint chr_power_set/2, chr_power_set/1, clean/0.
clean @ clean \ chr_power_set(_) <=> true. clean @ clean <=> true.
only_one @ chr_power_set(A) \ chr_power_set(A) <=> true.
creation @ chr_power_set([H | T], A) <=>
append(A, [H], B),
chr_power_set(T, A),
chr_power_set(T, B),
chr_power_set(B).
empty_element @ chr_power_set([], _) <=> chr_power_set([]).
</lang>
Example of output :
?- chr_power_set([1,2,3,4], []), findall(L, find_chr_constraint(chr_power_set(L)), LL), clean. LL = [[1],[1,2],[1,2,3],[1,2,3,4],[1,2,4],[1,3],[1,3,4],[1,4],[2],[2,3],[2,3,4],[2,4],[3],[3,4],[4],[]] .

Python
<lang python>def list_powerset(lst):
# the power set of the empty set has one element, the empty set
result = [[]]
for x in lst:
# for every additional element in our set
# the power set consists of the subsets that don't
# contain this element (just take the previous power set)
# plus the subsets that do contain the element (use list
# comprehension to add [x] onto everything in the
# previous power set)
result.extend([subset + [x] for subset in result])
return result
- the above function in one statement
def list_powerset2(lst):
return reduce(lambda result, x: result + [subset + [x] for subset in result],
lst, [[]])
def powerset(s):
return frozenset(map(frozenset, list_powerset(list(s))))</lang>
list_powerset computes the power set of a list of distinct elements. powerset simply converts the input and output from lists to sets. We use the frozenset type here for immutable sets, because unlike mutable sets, it can be put into other sets.
Example:
>>> list_powerset([1,2,3]) [[], [1], [2], [1, 2], [3], [1, 3], [2, 3], [1, 2, 3]] >>> powerset(frozenset([1,2,3])) frozenset([frozenset([3]), frozenset([1, 2]), frozenset([]), frozenset([2, 3]), frozenset([1]), frozenset([1, 3]), frozenset([1, 2, 3]), frozenset([2])])
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 <lang python>def powersetlist(s):
r = [[]]
for e in s:
print "r: %-55r e: %r" % (r,e)
r += [x+[e] for x in r]
return r
s= [0,1,2,3] print "\npowersetlist(%r) =\n %r" % (s, powersetlist(s))</lang>
Sample output:
r: [[]] e: 0 r: [[], [0]] e: 1 r: [[], [0], [1], [0, 1]] e: 2 r: [[], [0], [1], [0, 1], [2], [0, 2], [1, 2], [0, 1, 2]] e: 3 powersetlist([0, 1, 2, 3]) = [[], [0], [1], [0, 1], [2], [0, 2], [1, 2], [0, 1, 2], [3], [0, 3], [1, 3], [0, 1, 3], [2, 3], [0, 2, 3], [1, 2, 3], [0, 1, 2, 3]]
Binary Count method
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) <lang python>def powersequence(val):
Generate a 'powerset' for sequence types that are indexable by integers.
Uses a binary count to enumerate the members and returns a list
Examples:
>>> powersequence('STR') # String
[, 'S', 'T', 'ST', 'R', 'SR', 'TR', 'STR']
>>> powersequence([0,1,2]) # List
[[], [0], [1], [0, 1], [2], [0, 2], [1, 2], [0, 1, 2]]
>>> powersequence((3,4,5)) # Tuple
[(), (3,), (4,), (3, 4), (5,), (3, 5), (4, 5), (3, 4, 5)]
>>>
vtype = type(val); vlen = len(val); vrange = range(vlen)
return [ reduce( lambda x,y: x+y, (val[i:i+1] for i in vrange if 2**i & n), vtype())
for n in range(2**vlen) ]
def powerset(s):
Generate the powerset of s
Example:
>>> powerset(set([6,7,8]))
set([frozenset([7]), frozenset([8, 6, 7]), frozenset([6]), frozenset([6, 7]), frozenset([]), frozenset([8]), frozenset([8, 7]), frozenset([8, 6])])
return set( frozenset(x) for x in powersequence(list(s)) )</lang>
Recursive Alternative
This is an (inefficient) recursive version that almost reflects the recursive definition of a power set as explained in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_set#Algorithms. It does not create a sorted output.
<lang python> def p(l):
if not l: return [[]] return p(l[1:]) + [[l[0]] + x for x in p(l[1:])]
</lang>
Python: Standard documentation
Pythons documentation has a method that produces the groupings, but not as sets:
<lang python>>>> from pprint import pprint as pp >>> from itertools import chain, combinations >>> >>> def powerset(iterable):
"powerset([1,2,3]) --> () (1,) (2,) (3,) (1,2) (1,3) (2,3) (1,2,3)" s = list(iterable) return chain.from_iterable(combinations(s, r) for r in range(len(s)+1))
>>> pp(set(powerset({1,2,3,4}))) {(),
(1,), (1, 2), (1, 2, 3), (1, 2, 3, 4), (1, 2, 4), (1, 3), (1, 3, 4), (1, 4), (2,), (2, 3), (2, 3, 4), (2, 4), (3,), (3, 4), (4,)}
>>> </lang>
Qi
<lang qi> (define powerset
[] -> [[]]
[A|As] -> (append (map (cons A) (powerset As))
(powerset As)))
</lang>
R
Non-recursive version
The conceptual basis for this algorithm is the following: <lang>for each element in the set: for each subset constructed so far: new subset = (subset + element) </lang>
This method is much faster than a recursive method, though the speed is still O(2^n).
<lang R>powerset = function(set){ ps = list() ps1 = 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. tempsubset = c(pssubset,element) } ps=c(ps,temp) #Add the additional subsets ("temp") to "ps". } return(ps) }
powerset(1:4) </lang>
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
The sets package includes a recursive method to calculate the power set. However, this method takes ~100 times longer than the non-recursive method above. <lang R>library(sets)</lang> An example with a vector. <lang R>v <- (1:3)^2 sv <- as.set(v) 2^sv</lang>
{{}, {1}, {4}, {9}, {1, 4}, {1, 9}, {4, 9}, {1, 4, 9}}
An example with a list. <lang R>l <- list(a=1, b="qwerty", c=list(d=TRUE, e=1:3)) sl <- as.set(l) 2^sl</lang>
{{}, {1}, {"qwerty"}, {<<list(2)>>}, {1, <<list(2)>>}, {"qwerty",
1}, {"qwerty", <<list(2)>>}, {"qwerty", 1, <<list(2)>>}}

TXR
The power set function can be written concisely like this:
<lang txr>(defun power-set (s)
(reduce-right (op append (mapcar (op cons @@1) @2) @2) s '(())))</lang>
A complete program which takes command line arguments and prints the power set in comma-separated brace notation:
<lang txr>@(do (defun power-set (s)
(reduce-right
(op append (mapcar (op cons @@1) @2) @2)
s '(()))))
@(bind pset @(power-set *args*)) @(output) @ (repeat) {@(rep)@pset, @(last)@pset@(empty)@(end)} @ (end) @(end)</lang>
$ txr rosetta/power-set.txr 1 2 3
{1, 2, 3}
{1, 2}
{1, 3}
{1}
{2, 3}
{2}
{3}
{}
What is not obvious is that the above power-set function generalizes to strings and vectors.
<lang txr>@(do (defun power-set (s)
(reduce-right
(op append (mapcar (op cons @@1) @2) @2)
s '(())))
(prinl (power-set "abc"))
(prinl (power-set ""))
(prinl (power-set #(1 2 3))))</lang>
txr power-set-generic.txr ((#\a #\b #\c) (#\a #\b) (#\a #\c) (#\a) (#\b #\c) (#\b) (#\c) nil) ((nil) nil) ((1 2 3) (1 2) (1 3) (1) (2 3) (2) (3) nil)

Ursala
Sets are a built in type constructor in Ursala, represented as lexically sorted lists with duplicates removed. The powerset function is a standard library function, but could be defined as shown below. <lang Ursala>powerset = ~&NiC+ ~&i&& ~&at^?\~&aNC ~&ahPfatPRXlNrCDrT</lang> test program: <lang Ursala>#cast %sSS
test = powerset {'a','b','c','d'}</lang> output:
{
{},
{'a'},
{'a','b'},
{'a','b','c'},
{'a','b','c','d'},
{'a','b','d'},
{'a','c'},
{'a','c','d'},
{'a','d'},
{'b'},
{'b','c'},
{'b','c','d'},
{'b','d'},
{'c'},
{'c','d'},
{'d'}}
V
V has a built in called powerlist <lang v>[A C E] powerlist =[[A C E] [A C] [A E] [A] [C E] [C] [E] []]</lang>
its implementation in std.v is (like joy) <lang v>[powerlist
[null?] [unitlist] [uncons] [dup swapd [cons] map popd swoncat] linrec].
</lang>
zkl
Using a combinations function, build the power set from combinations of 1,2,... items. <lang zkl>fcn pwerSet(list){
(0).pump(list.len(),List, Utils.Helpers.pickNFrom.fp1(list),
T(Void.Write,Void.Write) ) .append(list)
}</lang>
- Output:
foreach n in (5){
ps:=pwerSet((1).pump(n,List)); ps.println(" Size = ",ps.len());
}
L(L()) Size = 1 L(L(),L(1)) Size = 2 L(L(),L(1),L(2),L(1,2)) Size = 4 L(L(),L(1),L(2),L(3),L(1,2),L(1,3),L(2,3),L(1,2,3)) Size = 8 L(L(),L(1),L(2),L(3),L(4),L(1,2),L(1,3),L(1,4),L(2,3),L(2,4), L(3,4),L(1,2,3),L(1,2,4),L(1,3,4),L(2,3,4),L(1,2,3,4)) Size = 16
