You can use the binary counter approach. Any unique binary string of length n represents a unique subset of a set of n elements. If you start with 0 and end with 2^n-1, you cover all possible subsets. The counter can be easily implemented in an iterative manner.
The code in Java:
public static void printAllSubsets(int[] arr) {
byte[] counter = new byte[arr.length];
while (true) {
// Print combination
for (int i = 0; i < counter.length; i++) {
if (counter[i] != 0)
System.out.print(arr[i] + " ");
}
System.out.println();
// Increment counter
int i = 0;
while (i < counter.length && counter[i] == 1)
counter[i++] = 0;
if (i == counter.length)
break;
counter[i] = 1;
}
}
Note that in Java one can use BitSet, which makes the code really shorter, but I used a byte array to illustrate the process better.
