## Examples

The example program below prints all subsets of the set {1,2,3,4} ordered by size. Subsets of the same size are ordered lexicographically.

    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <gsl/gsl_combination.h>

    int
    main (void)
    {
      gsl_combination * c;
      size_t i;

      printf("All subsets of {0,1,2,3} by size:\n") ;
      for(i = 0; i <= 4; i++)
        {
          c = gsl_combination_calloc (4, i);
          do
            {
              printf("{");
              gsl_combination_fprintf (stdout, c, " %u");
              printf(" }\n");
            }
          while (gsl_combination_next(c) == GSL_SUCCESS);
          gsl_combination_free(c);
        }

      return 0;
    }

Here is the output from the program,

    bash$ ./a.out
    All subsets of {0,1,2,3} by size:
    { }
    { 0 }
    { 1 }
    { 2 }
    { 3 }
    { 0 1 }
    { 0 2 }
    { 0 3 }
    { 1 2 }
    { 1 3 }
    { 2 3 }
    { 0 1 2 }
    { 0 1 3 }
    { 0 2 3 }
    { 1 2 3 }
    { 0 1 2 3 }

All 16 subsets are generated, and the subsets of each size are sorted lexicographically.
