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)
Solution:
public class Solution {
public ArrayList<ArrayList<Integer>> fourSum(int[] num, int target) {
Arrays.sort(num);
HashSet<ArrayList<Integer>> hashSet = new HashSet<ArrayList<Integer>>();
ArrayList<ArrayList<Integer>> result = new ArrayList<ArrayList<Integer>>();
for (int i = 0; i < num.length; i++) {
for (int j = i + 1; j < num.length; j++) {
int k = j + 1;
int l = num.length - 1;
while (k < l) {
int sum = num[i] + num[j] + num[k] + num[l];
if (sum > target) {
l--;
} else if (sum < target) {
k++;
} else if (sum == target) {
ArrayList<Integer> temp = new ArrayList<Integer>();
temp.add(num[i]);
temp.add(num[j]);
temp.add(num[k]);
temp.add(num[l]);
if (!hashSet.contains(temp)) {
hashSet.add(temp);
result.add(temp);
}
k++;
l--;
}
}
}
}
return result;
}
}
