Finds all combinations of items from the given collections.
collections -  the given collectionscollections -  the given collections Finds all combinations of items from the given Iterable aggregate of collections.
 So, combinations([[true, false], [true, false]])
 is [[true, true], [false, true], [true, false], [false, false]]
 and combinations([['a', 'b'],[1, 2, 3]])
 is [['a', 1], ['b', 1], ['a', 2], ['b', 2], ['a', 3], ['b', 3]].
 If a non-collection item is given, it is treated as a singleton collection,
 i.e. combinations([[1, 2], 'x']) is [[1, 'x'], [2, 'x']].
 If an empty collection is found within the given collections, the result will be an empty list.
      
collections -  the Iterable of given collectionsSelects the maximum value found in an array of items, so max([2, 4, 6] as Object[]) == 6.
items -  an array of itemsSelects the maximum value found in an Iterable.
items -  a CollectionSelects the minimum value found in an array of items, so min([2, 4, 6] as Object[]) == 2.
items -  an array of itemsSelects the minimum value found in an Iterable of items.
items -  an Iterable Finds all non-null subsequences of a list.
 E.g. subsequences([1, 2, 3]) would be:
 [[1, 2, 3], [1, 3], [2, 3], [1, 2], [1], [2], [3]]
      
items -  the List of itemsSums all the items from an array of items.
items -  an array of itemsSums all the given items.
items -  an Iterable of itemsTransposes an array of lists.
lists -  the given lists
