# Distinct subsets that sum to a given number [duplicate]

Write a function that gets as an input a sorted array of positive numbers A, and an additional number n. The Task is to print out all distinct subsets of A, that sum to n.

Example:

Input:
A = [1,2,2,4,4]
n = 9

Output:
[1,2,2,4]
[1,4,4]


Bonus: -50% if your code doesn't store duplicate subset (the same subset but in different order) intern. The function will not store more than one duplicate subset in memory at a time.

Shortest code in bytes wins.

• Are duplicates allowed in the output? – Conor O'Brien Mar 18 '16 at 0:19
• What do you mean by "store"? Will input numbers always be positive integers? – Luis Mendo Mar 18 '16 at 0:24
• If a duplicate is generated, checked for uniqueness and then discarded, does that qualify for the bonus? The duplicate needs to be temporarily stored somehow. Perhaps the bonus rule could be more precise saying at most one duplicate can be present at any time? – Luis Mendo Mar 18 '16 at 0:45
• yes that is what i meant. i will add it. – zboyz Mar 18 '16 at 0:48
• Bonuses are generally discouraged in code-golf. I suggest that you decide on a single version of the challenge (bonus either required or not). – lirtosiast Mar 18 '16 at 1:31

# Pyth, 6

@yE./Q


Try it online

We get all of the subsets of the given list with yE, and then ./Q gets all of the integer partitions (lists of integers that add up to it) of the other input. @ Finds the intersection of the two sets.

# Julia, 8982 72 bytes

f(x,n)=partitions(n)∩foldl(vcat,[collect(combinations(x,i))for i=1:n])


This is a function that accepts an array and an integer and returns an array of arrays. It uses the same approach as FryAmTheEggman's clever Pyth answer and doesn't qualify for the bonus.

We get all combinations of the elements of x of size i for i in 1 to n, and take the intersection of this with the integer partitions of n. The resulting array is the set of combinations which are also partitions of n, i.e. those that sum to n.

# Pyth, 9 - 50% = 4.5 bytes

f!.-TQ./E


Try it online: Demonstration

Got a little bit inspired by Fry.

### Explanation:

f!.-TQ./E   implicit: Q = input list
./E   read a number from input and compute a list of partitions
f           filter for partitions T, which satisfy:
.-TQ         remove the numbers in Q one by one from T
!             check if the resulting list is empty
(and therefore the partition is a subset of Q)

• It seems a bit odd to claim the bonus when the integer partitions contain all of the subsets of the list that sum to the input, but I think that's the rather unclear bonus' fault... – FryAmTheEggman Mar 18 '16 at 12:53

# JavaScript (ES6) 115

Using an hash table to store results, no duplicate is ever stored. But I doubt that this is what OP means for the bonus, so I will not claim it.

(A,n)=>[...Array(1<<A.length)].map((x,m)=>(x=A.filter((v,i)=>1<<i&m&&(t-=v,1),t=n),t||++s[x]),s={})&&Object.keys(s)


Less golfed

(A,n) =>
[...Array(1<<A.length)].map( // enumerate all the subsets (2^A.len)
(x, // used as a local variable
m  // current index, used as a bit mask
) => ( // build the current subset in x using bit mask
// meanwhile, check if the elemnt sum is == n
t = n,
x = A.filter( (v,i) => 1<<i&m && (t-=v,1) ),
t || ++s[x] // if the sum is n, add X to hash table (this avoid dups)
),
s={}  // hash table init to empty
) && Object.keys(s) // return keys


Test

f=(A,n)=>[...Array(1<<A.length)].map((x,m)=>(x=A.filter((v,i)=>1<<i&m&&(t-=v,1),t=n),t||++s[x]),s={})&&Object.keys(s)

function go() {
var a = A.value.match(/\d+/g)
var n = +N.value
O.textContent = f(a,n).join('\n')

{@^a.combinations.unique(as=>~*).grep: *.sum==$^n} Ungolfed sub d (@a,$n) {
@a.combinations.unique(as => ~*).grep: *.sum == $n }  Perl 6 has a built in combinations operator (as well as one for permutations!). Both of these return a lazy list. unique by itself would not return unique combinations, because technically they are not unique (they are equivalent) so we tell unique to compare them as strings (~$var coerces $var to a string, and * means Whatever) Then we grep for Whatever.sum is equal to n; Result of last evaluated expression is returned by default Lastly, if I don't define a signature, I can use $^var to refer to a passed variable. Alphabetical (Positional) order matters with these, as $^a is passed in before $^b;

EDIT (June 10, 2016): The link below replaces J by JQ to adapt to recent changes in the language Try it online! ### Explanation All possible subsets are tested to see if the sum is correct. For each subset, if the sum condition is satisfied the subset is stored in a (cell) array. Immediately after that, duplicates are removed (the only possible duplicate at this point is the newly added array, and in that case it is removed). So this gets the bonus. x % take number input implicitly. Delete (gets copied into clipboard G) {} % push empty cell array.

Generates the power set and filters it before removing duplicates.

## Usage

Since J does not support ragged arrays, each subset is output within a box.

   f =: ~.@((=+/@>)#])]<@#~2#:@i.@^#
