possible combination of numbers

[AAA]

hi,
I'll explain fastly the program that i'm doing..
the computer asks me to enter the cardinal of a set X ( called "dimX"
type integer)where X is a table of one dimension
and then to fill it with numbers X[i];
then the computer asks me how many subsets i have (nb_subset type
(integer))
then,i have to enter for every sebset the card, and then to fill it,
we'll have a two tables , one called cardY which contains nb_subset
elements,and every element is the cardinal of every Yi
example:
X={0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5,6, 7,8, 9, 10} dimX= 11

Y1={5, 8, 9, 7} cardY[0]=4
Y2={2, 0, 7, 6, 4, 10} cardY[1]=6
Y3={8, 10, 6, 4, 3, 1} cardY[2]=6
Y4={9, 7, 5, 3, 1, 10, 7} ...
Y5={3, 8, 1, 9, 6} ...
Y6={1, 2, 3} ...
Y7={4, 9, 6, 3, 0} card[6]=4

and then a table of two dimensions, called TY(correspondin g to Table Y)
which contains all the values of Yi
5 8 9 7 * * *
2 0 7 6 4 10 *
8 10 6 4 3 1 *
9 7 5 3 1 10 7
3 8 1 9 6 * *
1 2 3 * * * *
4 9 6 3 0 * *

(sure i'll lose memory, but its okay) i know that using chained lists
is best , but its okay

now the problem is to find all the combination possible of Yi which is
equal to X
example :

X= {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}
Y1= {2, 4, 5}; Y2= {1, 2, 4} ; Y3= {2, 3, 5} ; Y4= {3, 5} ; Y5= {1, 3,
4}
S= {1, 3, 5} S is a solution, N.B. where 1,3,and 5 are not elements,
but they are the indicies of Y
in this case Y1, Y3 and Y5

this was the subject of my mini project,
now ,my algorithm is to make a table containing all the possible
combinations of the indicies,exampl e :
if the nb_subsets is 3
1
2
3
1,2
1,3
2,3
1,2,3
and then,i bring the Y1 and compare it to X, if the same, i return S=
{1}
if not , i try Y2,
then Y3
then Y1 and Y2 , if Y1 U Y2 = X , then the solution S={1,2}
and i continue

my question that i'd like to have your help in is :
HOW TO MAKE A TABLE OF THREE DIMENSIONS CONTAINING ALL THE POSSIBLE
INDICIIES, like the example above.
i don't know if it is possible,but it is something that i need
urgently,cause i have to give back my work on monday(in less than 2
days)
thanks a lot for your help..
sincerely

Since X is a **set** does this mean that the numbers
you have to enter are distinct ?

If you know the subset then it automatically determines
its cardinal and its elements. So I don't see why you have
to enter the card and fill it.

we'll have a two tables , one called cardY which contains nb_subset
elements,and every element is the cardinal of every Yi
example:
X={0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5,6, 7,8, 9, 10} dimX= 11

Y1={5, 8, 9, 7} cardY[0]=4
Y2={2, 0, 7, 6, 4, 10} cardY[1]=6
Y3={8, 10, 6, 4, 3, 1} cardY[2]=6
Y4={9, 7, 5, 3, 1, 10, 7} ...
Y5={3, 8, 1, 9, 6} ...
Y6={1, 2, 3} ...
Y7={4, 9, 6, 3, 0} card[6]=4

3 8 1 9 6 * *

I'm sure it is possible if you manage to actually explain
what you need to do. So far I ain't got a clue. To be
perfectly honest with you it doesn't look like you can
manage for Monday but we'll see.
