Given two integers n and k, return all possible combinations of k numbers chosen from the range [1, n].

You may return the answer in any order.

Example 1:

Input: n = 4, k = 2
Output: [[1,2],[1,3],[1,4],[2,3],[2,4],[3,4]]
Explanation: There are 4 choose 2 = 6 total combinations.
Note that combinations are unordered, i.e., [1,2] and [2,1] are considered to be the same combination.

Example 2:

Input: n = 1, k = 1
Output: [[1]]
Explanation: There is 1 choose 1 = 1 total combination.

Solution

class Solution:
    def combine(self, n: int, k: int) -> List[List[int]]:
        out = []
        def backtrack(i, cur):
            if len(cur) == k:
                out.append(cur.copy())
                return
            for j in range(i, n):
                cur.append(j+1)
                backtrack(i + 1, cur)
                cur.pop()
                i += 1

        backtrack(0, [])
        return out
