写了个复杂版本的。好处是方便拓展sum(a1...ai)都可以。i=2，3，4，5...

class Solution {

    vector<vector<int> > fourSum(vector<int> &num, int target) {
        vector<vector<int> > res;

        sort(num.begin(), num.end());
        vector<int> v;
        gen(num, res, v, target, 0, 4);
        return res;
    }
    
    void gen(const vector<int>& a,vector<vector<int> >&res, vector<int>& v, int tar, int cur, int total) {
        if (v.size() == total) return;
        if (total - v.size() == 2) {
            int i = cur, j = a.size() - 1;
            while (i < j) {
                if (a[i] + a[j] == tar) {
