一维数组中取N个元素列出所有组合

给定一个数组如：nums=[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6,7,8,9,10]，取出其中任意N个元素，组成新的数组，求有多少种组合。

#1.思路

如果N确定，如N=4，此时，可以直接用四个for循环嵌套实现，但是当任意取出的个数N不固定时，此时不知道要用多少个for循环来实现,可考虑用递归来实现多个循环。

递归的思路：(假设输入N=4)

先找出第一个数的循环起止地址，在数组nums索引号为0~6，然后找出第二个是1到7，第三个是2到8，第三个是3到9，第四个数是4到10。

function compose(originArr, start, count, N, res, records) {
    let lastIdx = originArr.length - count + 1;
    console.log("compose")
    for (let i = start; i < lastIdx; i++) {
        res[count - 1] = i;
        console.log("set count = ", count, ", start = ", start, ", lastIdx = ", lastIdx, ", i = ", i, ", res = ", JSON.stringify(res));
        if (count - 1 === 0) {
            let line = [];
            for (let j = N - 1; j >= 0; j--) {
                line.push(originArr[res[j]]);
            }
            console.log("end start = ", start, " lastIdx = ", lastIdx, ", res = ", JSON.stringify(res), ", line = ", JSON.stringify(line));
            records.push(line);
        } else {
            compose(originArr, i + 1, count - 1, N, res, records);
        }
    }
}

let originArr = ['a','b','c','d'];
let N = 2;
let records = [];
compose(originArr, 0, N, N, [], records);
console.log("records = ", JSON.stringify(records), "\n\n")

结果：

set count =  2 , start =  0 , lastIdx =  3 , i =  0 , res =  [null,0]
