Solution: Subsets

Explore the subsets pattern, a vital technique for coding interviews that involves generating all possible subsets of a given integer array. This lesson guides you through using bitwise operations to efficiently create subsets without duplicates, helping you solve a wide range of related problems with confidence.

We'll cover the following...

Statement
Pattern: Subsets
Solution

Statement

Given an array of integers, nums, find all possible subsets of nums, including the empty set.

Note: The solution set must not contain duplicate subsets. You can return the solution in any order.

Constraints:

$1 \leq$ nums.length $\leq 10$
$-10 \leq$ nums[i] $\leq 10$
All the numbers of nums are unique.

Pattern: Subsets

Problems such as this one, where we need to find all possible subsets of a given set, can be efficiently solved using the subsets pattern. This pattern involves generating all possible subsets of a given set by using binary representations of indices to represent which elements should be included in each subset. This approach allows us to solve a wide range of problems that involve generating all possible subsets of a set.
