LeetCode 259. 3Sum Smaller

原题链接在这里：https://leetcode.com/problems/3sum-smaller/

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.

For example, given nums = [-2, 0, 1, 3], and target = 2.

Return 2. Because there are two triplets which sums are less than 2:

[-2, 0, 1]
[-2, 0, 3]

题解：

与3Sum类似. 计算和小于target的组合个数，重复的也要算. 若是nums[i] + nums[j] + nums[k] 符合要求，那么count += k-j, j++. 举例{-2, 0, 1, 3}. target = 4. {-2, 0, 3}符合要求, {-2, 0, 1}也符合要求，一次加上两个.

若是不符合要求说明等于或者大于target了, k--.

Time Complexity: O(n^2). Space: O(1).

AC Java:

public class Solution {
    public int threeSumSmaller(int[] nums, int target) {
        if(nums == null || nums.length == 0){
            return 0;
        }
        Arrays.sort(nums);
        int count = 0;
        for(int i = 0; i<nums.length-2; i++){
            int j = i+1;
            int k = nums.length-1;
            while(j<k){
                if(nums[i] + nums[j] + nums[k] >= target){
                    k--;
                }else{
                   count += k-j;
                   j++;
                }
            }
        }
        return count;
    }
}
