JavaScript/Backtracking/AllCombinationsOfSizeK.js

/*
  Problem: Given two numbers, n and k, make all unique combinations of k numbers from 1 to n and in sorted order

  What is combinations?
  - Combinations is selecting items from a collections without considering order of selection

  Example:
  - We have an apple, a banana, and a jackfruit
  - We have three objects, and need to choose two items, then combinations will be

  1. Apple & Banana
  2. Apple & Jackfruit
  3. Banana & Jackfruit

  Solution:
  - We will be using backtracking to solve this questions
  - Take one element, and make all them combinations for k-1 elements
  - Once we get all combinations of that element, pop it and do same for next element

class Combinations {
  constructor (n, k) {
    this.n = n
    this.k = k
    this.current = [] // will be used for storing current combination
    this.combinations = []
  }

  findCombinations (high = this.n, total = this.k, low = 1) {
    if (total === 0) {
      this.combinations.push([...this.current])
      return this.combinations
    }
    for (let i = low; i <= high; i++) {
      this.current.push(i)
      this.findCombinations(high, total - 1, i + 1)
      this.current.pop()
    }
    return this.combinations
