Solution: Combinations

Understand how to implement a backtracking algorithm that generates all possible combinations of size k from numbers 1 to n. This lesson teaches you how to use recursion and pruning to explore valid combinations systematically, improving your ability to solve combination-based coding interview problems efficiently.

Statement

You are given two integers, n and k. Your task is to return all possible combinations of k numbers chosen from the range [1, n].

The result can be returned in any order.

Note: Combinations are unordered, i.e., [1, 2] and [2, 1] are considered the same combination.

Constraints:

  • 11 \leq n 20\leq 20 ...
