Question:
Given a set of candidate numbers (C) and a target number (T), find all unique combinations in C where the candidate numbers sums to T.
The same repeated number may be chosen from C unlimited number of times.
Note:
- All numbers (including target) will be positive integers.
- The solution set must not contain duplicate combinations.
For example, given candidate set [2, 3, 6, 7]
and target 7
,
A solution set is:
[ [7], [2, 2, 3] ]Solution:
public class Solution {
public List<List<Integer>> combinationSum(int[] candidates, int target) {
Arrays.sort(candidates);
List<List<Integer>> res=new ArrayList<List<Integer>>();
f(res,new ArrayList<Integer>(),candidates, target,0);
return res;
}
public void f(List<List<Integer>> res, List<Integer> tmp, int[] candidates, int target, int start)
{
int i=0;
if(target>0)
{
for(i=start;(i<=candidates.length-1)&&(target>=candidates[i]);i++)
{
tmp.add(candidates[i]);
f(res,tmp,candidates,target-candidates[i],i);
tmp.remove(tmp.size()-1);
}
}
else if(target==0)
res.add(new ArrayList<Integer>(tmp)); //i dont't understand....
}
}
