<h2 class="chapter">10 Combinations</h2>
<a name="index-combinations"></a>
<p>This chapter describes functions for creating and manipulating
combinations. A combination <em>c</em> is represented by an array of
<em>k</em> integers in the range 0 to <em>n-1</em>, where each value
<em>c_i</em> occurs at most once. The combination <em>c</em> corresponds to
indices of <em>k</em> elements chosen from an <em>n</em> element vector.
Combinations are useful for iterating over all <em>k</em>-element subsets
of a set.
</p>
<p>The functions described in this chapter are defined in the header file
<samp>gsl_combination.h</samp>.
