Combination Sum
Combination Sum Total Accepted: 25850 Total Submissions: 96391 My Submissions Question Solution
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.
Elements in a combination (a1, a2, … , ak) must be in non-descending order. (ie, a1 ≤ a2 ≤ … ≤ ak).
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 1:
经典递归模板。
i 的起始值是跟排列的最主要区别。因为与顺序无关,所以我们必须只能是升序,也就是说下一个取值只能是i本身或是i的下一个。
但是排列的话,可以再取前同的。1, 2 与2 1是不同的排列,但是同一个组合
同学们可以看下这几个题目的区别。
