C++ Program to Generate All Possible Combinations Out of a,b,c,d,e

This is a C++ program to generate all possible combinations out of a, b, c, d, e.

Algorithms

Begin
   Take the number of elements and the elements as input.
   function Combi(char a[], int reqLen, int s, int currLen, bool check[], int l)
   to print the all possible combination of given array set:
   //
   Here,
   char a[] = character array
   reqLen = required length
   s = start variable
   currLen = current length
   check[] = a boolean variable
   l = length of array
   //
   Body of the Function:
      If currLen>reqLen
         Return
      Else if currLen=reqLen
         Then print the new generated sequence.
      If s = l
         Then return no further element is left.
      For every index there are two option:
      either proceed with a start as ‘true’ and recursively call Combi() with incremented value of ‘currLen’ and ‘s’.
      Or proceed with a start as ‘false’ and recursively call Combi() with only incremented value of ‘s’.
End

Example

#include<iostream>
using namespace std;
void Combi(char a[], int reqLen, int s, int currLen, bool check[], int l)
{
   if(currLen > reqLen)
   return;
   else if (currLen == reqLen) {
      cout<<"\t";
      for (int i = 0; i < l; i++) {
         if (check[i] == true) {
            cout<<a[i]<<" ";
         }
      }
      cout<<"\n";
      return;
   }
   if (s == l) {
      return;
   }
   check[s] = true;
   Combi(a, reqLen, s + 1, currLen + 1, check, l);
   check[s] = false;
   Combi(a, reqLen, s + 1, currLen, check, l);
}
int main() {
   int i,n;
   bool check[n];
   cout<<"Enter the number of element array have: ";
   cin>>n;
   char a[n];
   cout<<"\n";
   for(i = 0; i < n; i++) {
      cout<<"Enter "<<i+1<<" element: ";
      cin>>a[i];
      check[i] = false;
   }
   for(i = 1; i <= n; i++) {
      cout<<"\nThe all possible combination of length "<<i<<" for the given array set:\n";
      Combi(a, i, 0, 0, check, n);
   }
   return 0;
}
