/**
* Finds all the combinations of given array.<br><br>
* A combination is a way of selecting members from a grouping,
* such that (unlike permutations) the order of selection does not matter.
* For example given three fruits, say an apple, an orange and a pear,
* there are three combinations of two that can be drawn from this set:
* an apple and a pear; an apple and an orange; or a pear and an orange.
*
* @example
*
* var combinations = require('path-to-algorithms/src/' +
* 'combinatorics/combinations').combinations;
* var result = combinations(['apple', 'orange', 'pear'], 2);
* // [['apple', 'orange'],
* // ['apple', 'pear'],
* // ['orange', 'pear']]
* console.log(result);
*
* @module combinatorics/combinations
* @public
* @param arr {Array} Set of items.
* @param k {Number} Size of each combination.
* @return {Array} Returns all combinations.
