      • combinations

        public static java.util.List combinations​(java.lang.Object[] collections)
        Finds all combinations of items from the given collections.
        Parameters:
        collections - the given collections
        Returns:
        a List of the combinations found
        See Also:
        combinations(Collection)

      • subsequences

        public static <T> java.util.Set<java.util.List<T>> subsequences​(java.util.List<T> items)
        Finds all non-null subsequences of a list. E.g. subsequences([1, 2, 3]) would be: [[1, 2, 3], [1, 3], [2, 3], [1, 2], [1], [2], [3]]
        Parameters:
        items - the List of items
        Returns:
        the subsequences from items

      • combinations

        @Deprecated
public static java.util.List combinations​(java.util.Collection collections)
        Deprecated.
        use combinations(Iterable)
        Parameters:
        collections - the given collections

      • combinations

        public static java.util.List combinations​(java.lang.Iterable collections)
        Finds all combinations of items from the given Iterable aggregate of collections. So, combinations([[true, false], [true, false]]) is [[true, true], [false, true], [true, false], [false, false]] and combinations([['a', 'b'],[1, 2, 3]]) is [['a', 1], ['b', 1], ['a', 2], ['b', 2], ['a', 3], ['b', 3]]. If a non-collection item is given, it is treated as a singleton collection, i.e. combinations([[1, 2], 'x']) is [[1, 'x'], [2, 'x']]. If an empty collection is found within the given collections, the result will be an empty list.
        Parameters:
        collections - the Iterable of given collections
        Returns:
        a List of the combinations found
        Since:
