function c = nchoose2(v, f)
%NCHOOSE2 All combinations of N elements taken two at a time.
%
%   NCHOOSE2(1:N) or NCHOOSEK(V) where V is a vector of length N,
%   produces a matrix with N*(N-1)/2 rows and K columns. Each row of
%   the result has K of the elements in the vector V.
%
%   NCHOOSE2(N,FLAG) is the same as NCHOOSE2(1:N) but faster.
%
%   NCHOOSE2(V) is much faster than NCHOOSEK(V,2).
