Write a recursive function that prints the sum of all possible subsets of a given set S.

we have to give the input number of elements in set and in next line elements space seperated like:input1-3,input2-1 2 3;output-0 ,1 ,2 ,3 ,3 ,4 ,5 ,6.

Here is the algorithm in Python: def subset_sum(numbers, target, partial=[]): s = sum(partial) # check if the partial sum is equals to target if s == target: print "sum(%s)=%s" % (partial, target) if s >= target: return # if we reach the number why bother to continue for i in range(len(numbers)): n = numbers[i] remaining = numbers[i+1:] subset_sum(remaining, target, partial + [n]) if __name__ == "__main__": subset_sum([3,9,8,4,5,7,10],15) #Outputs: #sum([3, 8, 4])=15 #sum([3, 5, 7])=15 #sum([8, 7])=15 #sum([5, 10])=15

why this code not answering correct- please help def subsetSum(arr, n): total=2**n for i in range(total): sum=0 for j in range(n): if((i and 2**j)!=0): sum+=arr[j] print(sum) arr=[1,2,3] n=len(arr) subsetSum(arr, n)

why recursive? using itertools.permutations you should get this without recursion
