'''
In this problem, we want to determine all possible subsequences
of the given sequence. We use backtracking to solve this problem.
Time complexity: O(2^n),
where n denotes the length of the given sequence.

Creates a state space tree to iterate through each branch using DFS.
We know that each state has exactly two children.
It terminates when it reaches the end of the given sequence.
