Python program to find all subsets of a string

In Python, a subset of a string is a sequence of characters that is part of the original string. We can find all subsets of a string using the itertools module in Python. In this article, we will see how to generate all subsets of a string by making all possible combinations of the characters in the string.

grammar

itertools.combination(string,r)

The combination() function of the itertools module accepts a string and r, where r represents the size of possible different string combinations. It returns all possible character combinations of the string.

algorithm

• Initialize an empty list called a combination

• Use a for loop and the itertools.combination function to generate all possible character combinations in the string.

• Filter out content that is not a subset of the original string

• Return subset

Example

In the following example, we first import the itertools module to generate all possible character combinations in a string. The find_subsets() function accepts a string as input and returns all possible subsets of the string. The find_subset() method first creates an empty list to store all subsets. Then with the help of for loop and itertools.combination() function, it generates all possible subsets of the string and stores them in combination list. After all the combinations have been generated and stored, we need to filter out strings that are not a subset of the original string and store such subsets in a list called subset. This subset is then returned by the function as all possible subsets of the string.

import itertools

def find_subsets(string):
    # Get all possible combinations of characters in the string
    combinations = []
    for i in range(len(string) + 1):
        combinations += itertools.combinations(string, i)
    # Filter out the ones that are not subsets of the original string
    subsets = []
    for c in combinations:
        subset = ''.join(c)
        if subset != '':
            subsets.append(subset)
    return subsets

# Test the function
string = 'abc'
subsets = find_subsets(string)
print(subsets)

Output

['a', 'b', 'c', 'ab', 'ac', 'bc', 'abc']

in conclusion

In this article, we discussed how to generate all possible subsets of a string using the itertools module in Python. Once we have generated all possible combinations of characters in a string, we need to filter out strings that are not a subset of the original string. As a result, we get all possible subsets of the string.
