[LeetCode] 4Sum 四数之和

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, abcd)
  • 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)

LeetCode 中关于数字之和还有其他几道,分别是 Two Sum ,3Sum ,3Sum Closest,虽然难度在递增,但是整体的套路都是一样的,在这里为了避免重复项,我们使用了 STL 中的 TreeSet,其特点是不能有重复,如果新加入的数在 TreeSet 中原本就存在的话,插入操作就会失败,这样能很好的避免的重复项的存在。此题的 O(n^3) 解法的思路跟 3Sum 基本没啥区别,就是多加了一层 for 循环,其他的都一样,代码如下:

解法一:

class Solution {
public:
vector<vector<int>> fourSum(vector<int> &nums, int target) {
set<vector<int>> res;
sort(nums.begin(), nums.end());
for (int i = ; i < int(nums.size() - ); ++i) {
for (int j = i + ; j < int(nums.size() - ); ++j) {
if (j > i + && nums[j] == nums[j - ]) continue;
int left = j + , right = nums.size() - ;
while (left < right) {
int sum = nums[i] + nums[j] + nums[left] + nums[right];
if (sum == target) {
vector<int> out{nums[i], nums[j], nums[left], nums[right]};
res.insert(out);
++left; --right;
} else if (sum < target) ++left;
else --right;
}
}
}
return vector<vector<int>>(res.begin(), res.end());
}
};

但是毕竟用 TreeSet 来进行去重复的处理还是有些取巧,可能在 Java 中就不能这么做,那么还是来看一种比较正统的做法吧,手动进行去重复处理。主要可以进行的有三个地方,首先在两个 for 循环下可以各放一个,因为一旦当前的数字跟上面处理过的数字相同了,那么找下来肯定还是重复的。之后就是当 sum 等于 target 的时候了,在将四个数字加入结果 res 之后,left 和 right 都需要去重复处理,分别像各自的方面遍历即可,参见代码如下:

解法二:

class Solution {
public:
vector<vector<int>> fourSum(vector<int> &nums, int target) {
vector<vector<int>> res;
int n = nums.size();
sort(nums.begin(), nums.end());
for (int i = ; i < n - ; ++i) {
if (i > && nums[i] == nums[i - ]) continue;
for (int j = i + ; j < n - ; ++j) {
if (j > i + && nums[j] == nums[j - ]) continue;
int left = j + , right = n - ;
while (left < right) {
int sum = nums[i] + nums[j] + nums[left] + nums[right];
if (sum == target) {
vector<int> out{nums[i], nums[j], nums[left], nums[right]};
res.push_back(out);
while (left < right && nums[left] == nums[left + ]) ++left;
while (left < right && nums[right] == nums[right - ]) --right;
++left; --right;
} else if (sum < target) ++left;
else --right;
}
}
}
return res;
}
};
