Combinations Problem


Description

LeetCode Problem 77.

Given two integers n and k, return all possible combinations of k numbers out of the range [1, n].

You may return the answer in any order.

Example 1:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
Input: n = 4, k = 2
Output:
[
  [2,4],
  [3,4],
  [2,3],
  [1,2],
  [1,3],
  [1,4],
]

Example 2:

1
2
Input: n = 1, k = 1
Output: [[1]]

Constraints:

  • 1 <= n <= 20
  • 1 <= k <= n
