 * Created by gouthamvidyapradhan on 14/03/2017. Given a set of distinct integers, nums, return all
 * possible subsets.
 *
 * <p>Note: The solution set must not contain duplicate subsets.
 *
 * <p>For example, If nums = [1,2,3], a solution is:
 *
 * <p>[ [3], [1], [2], [1,2,3], [1,3], [2,3], [1,2], [] ]
