You can put this solution on YOUR website! There are n = 4 elements in the set. So there are 2^n = 2^4 = 16 different subsets possible.
Those 16 subsets are:
{a,b,c,d}
{a,b,c}, {a,b,d}, {a,c,d}, {b,c,d}
{a,b}, {a,c}, {a,d}, {b,c}, {b,d}, {c,d}
{a}, {b}, {c}, {d}
{ }
Note: { } denotes the empty set
Each line shown above represents a grouping of sets. For example, all of the sets with 3 items in them, such as {a,b,d}, are all on the same line. This is a handy way to group things. If you wish to list it all out where each set gets its own line then you'd write it like this
{a,b,c,d}
{a,b,c}
{a,b,d}
{a,c,d}
{b,c,d}
{a,b}
{a,c}
{a,d}
{b,c}
{b,d}
{c,d}
{a}
{b}
{c}
{d}
{}
