题目:
Given an array of n integers nums and a target, find the number of index triplets i, j, k
with 0 <= i < j < k < n
that satisfy the condition nums[i] + nums[j] + nums[k] < target
.
Example:
Input: nums = [-2,0,1,3]
, and target = 2
Output: 2
Explanation: Because there are two triplets which sums are less than 2:
[-2,0,1]
[-2,0,3]
Follow up: Could you solve it in O(n2) runtime?
这道题是要求一个数组中任意三个数字相加之和小于target的个数。我差一点点就做出来了,哎。就还是3sum的套路,固定外层,里面用双指针解决。在双指针判断的大小的过程中需要有一点变化,那就是如果sum < target的话,因为是按升序排序的,所以相当于再固定start的话后面加任意从start+1开始一直到end的数字都是满足条件的,于是result就可以直接+= (end - start),同时也需要再把start往后挪一个,其实跟3sum就是一样的了,但是刚开始想岔了以为可以直接break掉orz……其他情况下就直接往前挪end就好。时间复杂度O(n^2),空间O(1)。

int result = 0;
Arrays.sort(nums);
for (int i = 0; i < nums.length - 2; i++) {
int pStart = i + 1;
int pEnd = nums.length - 1;
while (pStart < pEnd) {
int sum = nums[i] + nums[pStart] + nums[pEnd];
if (sum < target) {
result += (pEnd - pStart);
pStart++;
} else {
pEnd--;
}
}
}
return result;
}
