Given a string str of length N, the task is to print all possible non-empty subsequences of the given string such that the subsequences either contain characters or ASCII values of the characters from the given string.

Examples: 

Input: str = “ab” 
Output: b 98 a ab a98 97 97b 9798 
Explanation: 
Possible subsequence of the strings are { b, a, ab }. 
Possible subsequences of the string generated by including either the characters or the ASCII value of the characters from the given string are { 98, b, a, 97, ab, 97b, a98, 9798 }. 
Therefore, the required output is { b, 98, a, ab, a98, 97, 97b, 9798 }.

Input: str = “a” 
Output: a 97

Approach: Follow the steps below to solve the problem: 

FindSub(str, res, i) = { FindSub(str, res, i + 1), FindSub(str, res + str[i], i + 1), FindSub(str, res + ASCII(str[i]), i + 1) } 
res = subsequence of the string 
i = index of a character in str 

  • Using the above recurrence relation, print all possible subsequences based on the given conditions.

Below is the implementation of the above approach: 

C++




// C++ program to implement
// the above approach
#include<bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Function to print subsequences containing
// ASCII value of the characters or the
// the characters of the given string
void FindSub(string str, string res,
             int i)
{
     
    // Base Case
    if (i == str.length())
    {
         
        // If length of the
        // subsequence exceeds 0
        if (res.length() > 0)
        {
             
            // Print the subsequence
           cout << res << " ";
        }
        return;
    }
 
    // Stores character present at
    // i-th index of str
    char ch = str[i];
 
    // If the i-th character is not
    // included in the subsequence
    FindSub(str, res, i + 1);
 
    // Including the i-th character
    // in the subsequence
    FindSub(str, res + ch, i + 1);
 
    // Include the ASCII value of the
    // ith character in the subsequence
    FindSub(str, res + to_string(int(ch)), i + 1);
}
 
// Driver Code
int main()
{
    string str = "ab";
    string res = "";
     
    // Stores length of str
    int N = str.length();
 
    FindSub(str, res, 0);
}

// Java program to implement
// the above approach
class GFG {
 
    // Function to print subsequences containing
    // ASCII value of the characters or the
    // the characters of the given string
    static void FindSub(String str, String res,
                        int i)
    {
        // Base Case
        if (i == str.length()) {
 
            // If length of the
            // subsequence exceeds 0
            if (res.length() > 0) {
 
                // Print the subsequence
                System.out.print(res + " ");
            }
            return;
        }
 
        // Stores character present at
        // i-th index of str
        char ch = str.charAt(i);
 
        // If the i-th character is not
        // included in the subsequence
        FindSub(str, res, i + 1);
 
        // Including the i-th character
        // in the subsequence
        FindSub(str, res + ch, i + 1);
 
        // Include the ASCII value of the
        // ith character in the subsequence
        FindSub(str, res + (int)ch, i + 1);
        ;
    }
 
    // Driver Code
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
 
        String str = "ab";
 
        String res = "";
 
        // Stores length of str
        int N = str.length();
 
        FindSub(str, res, 0);
    }
}
