Leetcode -- 4 sum

问题链接：https://oj.leetcode.com/problems/4sum/

问题描述：

Given an array S of n integers, are there elements a, b, c, and d in S such that a + b + c + d = target? Find all unique quadruplets in the array which gives the sum of target.

Note:
Elements in a quadruplet (a,b,c,d) must be in non-descending order. (ie, a ≤ b ≤ c ≤ d)
The solution set must not contain duplicate quadruplets.
    For example, given array S = {1 0 -1 0 -2 2}, and target = 0.

    A solution set is:
    (-1,  0, 0, 1)
    (-2, -1, 1, 2)
    (-2,  0, 0, 2)

API：public List<List<Integer>> fourSum(int[] num, int target)

分析：这题其实就是3sum在外面多加一个循环，注意一下去重复的部分就好。代码如下：

    public List<List<Integer>> fourSum(int[] num, int target) {
        Arrays.sort(num);
        List<List<Integer>> final_res = new LinkedList<List<Integer>>();
        for(int i = 0; i < num.length; i++){
            if(i != 0 && num[i] == num[i - 1])//去重复部分1
                continue;
            for(int j = i + 1; j < num.length; j++){
                if(j != i + 1 && num[j] == num[j - 1])//去重复部分2
                    continue;
                int head = j + 1;
                int tail = num.length - 1;
                while(head < tail){
                    if(head != j + 1 && num[head] == num[head - 1]){//和下面那个else if同为去重复部分3.
                        head++;
                    }else if(tail != num.length - 1 && num[tail] == num[tail + 1]){
                        tail--;
                    }else{
                        if(num[i] + num[j] + num[head] + num[tail] < target)
                            head++;
                        else if(num[i] + num[j] + num[head] + num[tail] > target)
                            tail--;
                        else{
                            LinkedList<Integer> res = new LinkedList<Integer>();
                            res.add(num[i]);
                            res.add(num[j]);
                            res.add(num[head]);
                            res.add(num[tail]);
                            final_res.add(res);
                            head++;
                        }
                    }
                }
            }
        }
        return final_res;
    }

此算法的复杂度是O(n^3)，网上有传说复杂度为O(n^2 * logn)的算法，但目前还没有想到。有知道的人可以联系我噢。囧
