描述:
Given an array S of n integers, are there elements a,b,c in S such that a + b + c = 0? Find all unique
triplets in the array which gives the sum of zero.
Note:
• Elements in a triplet (a,b,c) must be in non-descending order. (ie, a ≤ b ≤ c)
• The solution set must not contain duplicate triplets.
For example, given array S = {-1 0 1 2 -1 -4}.
A solution set is:
(-1, 0, 1)
(-1, -1, 2)
分析:
先排序,后左右夹逼,复杂度O(n^2)。
这个方法可以推广到K-sum,先排序,然后做k-2次循环,在最内层循环左右夹逼,时间复杂度 O(max{nlogn,n^k−1 })。
代码
class Solution {
public:
vector<vector<int>> threeSum(vector<int>& nums) {
vector<vector<int>> result;
if (nums.size() < 3) return result;
sort(nums.begin(), nums.end());
const int target = 0;
auto last = nums.end();
for (auto i = nums.begin(); i < last-2; ++i) {
auto j = i+1;
if (i > nums.begin() && *i == *(i-1)) continue;
auto k = last-1;
while (j < k) {
if (*i + *j + *k < target) {
++j;
while(*j == *(j - 1) && j < k) ++j;
} else if (*i + *j + *k > target) {
--k;
while(*k == *(k + 1) && j < k) --k;
} else {
result.push_back({ *i, *j, *k });

return result;
