Generating power set recursively without any loops

Question

How do you write a recursive method PowerSet(String input) that prints out all possible combinations of a string that is passed to it?

For example: PowerSet(\"abc\")

Answer 1

This will also do the trick:

var powerset = function(arr, prefix, subsets) {
  subsets = subsets || [];
  prefix = prefix || [];
  if (arr.length) {
    powerset(arr.slice(1), prefix.concat(arr[0]), subsets);
    powerset(arr.slice(1), prefix, subsets);
  } else {
    subsets.push(prefix);
  }
  return subsets;
};

powerset('abc');
