Given a positive integer n, the task is to generate all possible unique ways to represent n as sum of positive integers.
Examples: 

Input:
Output: 

3 1 
2 2 
2 1 1 
1 1 1 1
Input:
Output: 

2 1 
1 1 1 
 

Approach: We have already discussed the implementation of generating unique partitions in this post. This post contains another and far more intuitive implementation for the above problem using recursion.
The idea is simple and is kind of same approach as used here. We have to move recursively from n to 1 and keep on appending the numbers used to form sum in the array. When the sum becomes equal to n then we print the array and return. The base cases considered in the implementation are: remSum == 0: Required n is formed so print the array.
Then we have started forming required sum using the max value number used in the previous partition. If that number becomes greater than n we ignore it else we append that number to the array and move recursively to next iteration to form sum = (remSum – i) and where max value 
number that could be used is i or less than i. This way we can generate the required unique partitions.
Below is the implementation of the above approach: 
 

C++




// C++ implementation of the approach
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Array to store the numbers used
// to form the required sum
int dp[200];
int count = 0;
 
// Function to print the array which contains
// the unique partitions which are used
// to form the required sum
void print(int idx)
{
    for (int i = 1; i < idx; i++) {
        cout << dp[i] << " ";
    }
    cout << endl;
}
 
// Function to find all the unique partitions
// remSum = remaining sum to form
// maxVal is the maximum number that
// can be used to make the partition
void solve(int remSum, int maxVal, int idx, int& count)
{
 
    // If remSum == 0 that means the sum
    // is achieved so print the array
    if (remSum == 0) {
        print(idx);
        count++;
        return;
    }
 
    // i will begin from maxVal which is the
    // maximum value which can be used to form the sum
    for (int i = maxVal; i >= 1; i--) {
        if (i > remSum) {
            continue;
        }
        else if (i <= remSum) {
 
            // Store the number used in forming
            // sum gradually in the array
            dp[idx] = i;
 
            // Since i used the rest of partition
            // cant have any number greater than i
            // hence second parameter is i
            solve(remSum - i, i, idx + 1, count);
        }
    }
}
 
// Driver code
int main()
{
    int n = 4, count = 0;
 
    solve(n, n, 1, count);
 
    return 0;
}


Java




// Java implementation of the approach
import java.util.*;
 
class GFG
{
 
    // Array to store the numbers used
    // to form the required sum
    static int[] dp = new int[200];
    static int count = 0;
 
    // Function to print the array which contains
    // the unique partitions which are used
    // to form the required sum
    static void print(int idx)
    {
        for (int i = 1; i < idx; i++)
        {
            System.out.print(dp[i] + " ");
        }
        System.out.println("");
    }
 
    // Function to find all the unique partitions
    // remSum = remaining sum to form
    // maxVal is the maximum number that
    // can be used to make the partition
    static void solve(int remSum, int maxVal,
                        int idx, int count)
    {
 
        // If remSum == 0 that means the sum
        // is achieved so print the array
        if (remSum == 0)
        {
            print(idx);
            count++;
            return;
        }
 
        // i will begin from maxVal which is the
        // maximum value which can be used to form the sum
        for (int i = maxVal; i >= 1; i--)
        {
            if (i > remSum)
            {
                continue;
            }
            else if (i <= remSum)
            {
 
                // Store the number used in forming
                // sum gradually in the array
                dp[idx] = i;
 
                // Since i used the rest of partition
                // cant have any number greater than i
                // hence second parameter is i
                solve(remSum - i, i, idx + 1, count);
            }
        }
    }
 
    // Driver code
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        int n = 4, count = 0;
 
        solve(n, n, 1, count);
    }
}
