/*
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 froms 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

To read more about combinations, you can visit the following link:
- https://betterexplained.com/articles/easy-permutations-and-combinations/

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.combinationArray = [] // will be used for storing current combination
}

findCombinations (high = this.n, total = this.k, low = 1) {
if (total === 0) {
console.log(this.combinationArray)
return
}
for (let i = low; i <= high; i++) {
this.combinationArray.push(i)
this.findCombinations(high, total - 1, i + 1)
this.combinationArray.pop()
}
}
}
