If by "complete set" you mean "the Cartesian product of all the
lists contained in list1," where list1 might hold N embedded lists
(more generally, Collections) instead of just three, I'd suggest a
recursive solution along the lines of:
void tuples(List bigList, int which, String soFar) {
if (which < bigList.size()) {
for (Object item : bigList.get(which)) {
tuples(bigList, which + 1, soFar + item);
}
} else {
System.out.println(soFar);
}
}
...
tuples(list1, 0, "");
If that's not what you want, please explain "complete set"
more fully.
