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)
这道题我是想暴力算法的,就是弄三个循环,注意去除重即可,代码如下:
public List<List<Integer>> threeSum(int[] nums) {
Arrays.sort(nums);
List<List<Integer>> result = new ArrayList<List<Integer>>();
for(int i = 0; i < nums.length-2; i++){
if (nums[i] > 0) {
return result;
}
if(i>=1 && nums[i] == nums[i-1]){
continue;
}
for(int j = i+1; j < nums.length-1; j++){
if(j>= i+2 && nums[j] == nums[j-1]){
continue;
}
for(int k = j+1 ; k < nums.length; k++){
if(k>=j+2 && nums[k] == nums[k-1]){
continue;
}
if(nums[i]+nums[j]+nums[k]<0){
continue;
}
else if(nums[i]+nums[j]+nums[k] == 0){
List<Integer> temp = Arrays.asList(nums[i],nums[j],nums[k]);
result.add(temp);
}else break;
}
}
}
return result;
}
public static void main(String[] args){
Solution sol = new Solution();
int[] aa = {-1,0,1,2,-1,-4};
List<List<Integer>> result = sol.threeSum(aa);
for(List<Integer> list : result){
for(int in : list){
System.out.print(in+" ");
}
System.out.println();
}
}
不过其实有很多情况可以排除不去考虑,从而节省很多时间。比如下面这个就很快了,思路很巧妙。
public List<List<Integer>> threeSum(int[] nums) {
List<List<Integer>> result = new ArrayList<>();
int length = nums.length;
if (length < 3) {
return result;
}
Arrays.sort(nums);
for (int i = 0; i < length - 2; i++) {
if (nums[i] > 0) {
return result;
}
if (i == 0 || nums[i] != nums[i - 1]) {
int target = -nums[i];
int low = i + 1, high = length - 1;
while (low < high) {
if (nums[high] < 0 || nums[low] > target) {
break;
}
if (nums[low] + nums[high] == target) {
result.add(Arrays.asList(nums[i], nums[low], nums[high]));
while(++low<high && nums[low] == nums[low-1]);
while(low<--high && nums[high] == nums[high+1]);
} else if (nums[low] + nums[high] < target) {
while(++low<high && nums[low] == nums[low-1]);
} else {
while(low<--high && nums[high] == nums[high+1]);
}
}
}
}
return result;
}
