List all possible combinations with no repetition and array is not in order and the output does not need to be in order.

With bash for looping:

arr=(two four one three five)
len=${#arr[*]}

for (( i=0; i < $len; i++ )); do
    for (( j=$((i+1)); j < $len; j++ )); do 
        echo "${arr[$i]} ${arr[*]:$j:1}"
    done
done

The output:

two four
two one
two three
two five
four one
four three
four five
one three
one five
three five
