1、题目描述
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: 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]
]
2、解题思路
题意是给定一个无序序列nums,找出其中四个元素的组合使得它们的和为给定的target值。
首先增加algorithm标准库,然后使用sort算法进行排序——nums(nums.begin(),nums.end());
然后又最小的数开始组合寻找满足条件的四元组,首先找到两个可以满足要求的元素,就如程序中下标i,j指向的元素,再从剩下的元素中寻找两个累加等于target的元素即可。
详细见代码部分
3、实现代码
class Solution {
public:
vector<vector<int>> fourSum(vector<int>& nums, int target) {
auto n=nums.size();//have guaranteed n>4
vector<vector<int>> res;
sort(nums.begin(),nums.end());
for (int i=0;i<n-3;i++){
if(i>0 && nums[i]==nums[i-1]) continue;//deal with the duplicate elements
if(nums[i]+nums[i+1]+nums[i+2]+nums[i+3]>target) break;//sum of the firest four elements is lager then target, no answer,jump the loop;
if(nums[i]+nums[n-1]+nums[n-2]+nums[n-3]<target) continue;//the ith element add the last three elements and then is larger than target, continue next loop;
for(int j=i+1;j<n-2;j++){
if(j>i+1 && nums[j]==nums[j-1]) continue;
if(nums[i]+nums[j]+nums[j+1]+nums[j+2]>target) break;
if(nums[i]+nums[j]+nums[n-1]+nums[n-2]<target) continue;
int l=j+1,r=n-1,sum1=nums[i]+nums[j];
while(l<r){
int sum=nums[i]+nums[j]+nums[l]+nums[r];
if(sum==target) {
res.push_back(vector<int> {nums[i],nums[j],nums[l],nums[r]});
l++;r--;
if(nums[l]==nums[l-1] && l<r) l++;
if(nums[r]==nums[r+1] && l<r) r--;
}
else {
if(sum<target) l++;
else r--;
}
}
}
}
return res;
}
};
