How to get all subsets of a set? (powerset)

Question

Given a set

{0, 1, 2, 3}

How can I produce the subsets:

[set(),
 {0},
 {1},
 {2},
 {3},
 {0, 1},
 {0, 2},
 {0, 3},
 {1, 2}         


        

Answer 1

Getting all the subsets with recursion. Crazy-ass one-liner

from typing import List

def subsets(xs: list) -> List[list]:
    return subsets(xs[1:]) + [x + [xs[0]] for x in subsets(xs[1:])] if xs else [[]]

Based on a Haskell solution

subsets :: [a] -> [[a]]
subsets [] = [[]]
subsets (x:xs) = map (x:) (subsets xs) ++ subsets xs
