public class CartesianProduct<T>
extends java.lang.Object

A cartesian product between two lists A and B is the set of all ordered pairs of the elements of both sets. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cartesian_product for more details. Since the order of the elements matters; Lists are used instead of Sets. Example: A = {1, 2, 3} B = {4, 5} The ordered pairs are {1, 4}, {1, 5}, {2, 4}, .., {3, 5}
