Combination Sum I, II

DFS + backtraking
之前用的DP做，觉得similar as the dividing the coins problem

Combination I: 一个元素可以取多次(输入没有重复): Combination Sum

Given a set of… For example, given candidate set 2,3,6,7 and target 7,  A solution set is: [7] ,[2, 2, 3] 

public class Solution {
    public List<List<Integer>> combinationSum(int[] candidates, int target) {
        if (candidates == null || candidates.length == 0) {
            return null;
        }
        Arrays.sort(candidates);
        List<List<Integer>> res = new ArrayList<>();
        List<Integer> path = new ArrayList<>();
        helper(candidates, target, res, path, 0);
        return res;
    }
    
    public void helper(int[] candidates, int target, List<List<Integer>> res, List<Integer> path, int start){
        if (target == 0) {
            res.add(new ArrayList<Integer>(path));
            return;
        }
        for (int i = start; i < candidates.length; i++) {
            if (candidates[i] > target) {
                break;
            }
            path.add(candidates[i]);
            helper(candidates, target - candidates[i], res, path, i);
            path.remove(path.size() -1);
        }
    }
}

DP解法

public class Solution {
    public List<List<Integer>> combinationSum(int[] candidates, int target) {
 if (candidates == null || candidates.length == 0) {
            return null;
        }
        //like a DP array
        List<List<List<Integer>>> res = new ArrayList<>(target + 1);
        Arrays.sort(candidates);

        //initialize res
        for (int i = 0; i <= target; i++) {
            List<List<Integer>> out = new ArrayList<>();
            if (i == 0) {
                List<Integer> in = new ArrayList<>();
                out.add(in);
            }
            res.add(out);
        }

        for (int i = 1; i <= target; i++) {
            List<List<Integer>> outlist = new ArrayList<>();
            for (int j = 0; j < candidates.length; j++) {
                if (candidates[j] > i) {
                    continue;
                }
                List<List<Integer>> last = res.get(i - candidates[j]);
                for (List<Integer> t : last) {
                    List<Integer> innerlist = new ArrayList<>(t);
                     if (innerlist.size() > 0
                            && t.get(innerlist.size() - 1) > candidates[j]) {
                        continue;
                    }
                    innerlist.add(candidates[j]);
                    outlist.add(innerlist);
                }
            }
            res.set(i, outlist);
        }

        //if there is no match, it should return [], rather than [[]]    
        return res.get(target);
    }
}

Combination2: Given a collection of…且一个元素只能取一次 ->输入可能有重复，输出不重复

//list all的题，dfs + backtracking
public class Solution {
    public List<List<Integer>> combinationSum2(int[] num, int target) {
        List<List<Integer>> res = new ArrayList<>();
        if (num == null) return res;
        
        Arrays.sort(num);
        List<Integer> l = new ArrayList<>();
        helper(res, l, num, target, 0);
        return res;
    }
    public void helper(List<List<Integer>> res, List<Integer> path, int[] num, int target, int start) {
        if (target == 0){
            res.add(new ArrayList<Integer>(path));
            return;
        }
        
        for (int i = start; i < num.length; i++) {
            if (num[i] > target) {
                break;
            }
            
            if (i > start && num[i] == num[i-1]) {
                continue;
            }
            path.add(num[i]);
            helper(res, path, num, target - num[i], i+1);
            path.remove(path.size()-1);
        }
    }
}
