/*
Problem: Given two numbers, n and k, make all unique combinations of k numbers from 1 to n and in sorted order
What is combinations?
- Combinations is selecting items from a collections without considering order of selection
Example:
- We have an apple, a banana, and a jackfruit
- We have three objects, and need to choose two items, then combinations will be
1. Apple & Banana
2. Apple & Jackfruit
3. Banana & Jackfruit

Solution:
- We will be using backtracking to solve this questions
- Take one element, and make all them combinations for k-1 elements
- Once we get all combinations of that element, pop it and do same for next element
