Generate All Subsets

Problem

Return every subset of a list of distinct integers, ordered by increasing subset size then lexicographically.

Examples

Example 1
Input: [1,2]
Output: [[],[1],[2],[1,2]]
Example 2
Input: []
Output: [[]]

Input and output use JSON-compatible values. For linked-list and tree questions, arrays represent the node structure as described above. Your code should implement solve(input).

How to solve Generate All Subsets

Return every subset of a list of distinct integers, ordered by increasing subset size then lexicographically. At each element, choose include or exclude. The reference implementation illustrates this approach; check the example and edge cases.

Time and space complexity

O(nĀ·2^n) time and output space.
