3 Sum leetcode java

题目

Given an array S of n integers, are there elements a, b, c in S such that a + b + c = 0? Find all unique triplets in the array which gives the sum of zero.

Note:

  • Elements in a triplet (a,b,c) must be in non-descending order. (ie, abc)
  • The solution set must not contain duplicate triplets.
    For example, given array S = {-1 0 1 2 -1 -4},

    A solution set is:
    (-1, 0, 1)
    (-1, -1, 2)

题解
 3 Sum是two Sum的变种,可以利用two sum的二分查找法来解决问题。
本题比two sum增加的问题有:解决duplicate问题,3个数相加返回数值而非index。
首先,对数组进行排序。
然后,从0位置开始到倒数第三个位置(num.length-3),进行遍历,假定num[i]就是3sum中得第一个加数,然后从i+1的位置开始,进行2sum的运算。
当找到一个3sum==0的情况时,判断是否在结果hashset中出现过,没有则添加。(利用hashset的value唯一性)
因为结果不唯一,此时不能停止,继续搜索,low和high指针同时挪动。

时间复杂度是O(n2)
实现代码为:
 1     public ArrayList<ArrayList<Integer>> threeSum(int[] num) {
 2         ArrayList<ArrayList<Integer>> res = new ArrayList<ArrayList<Integer>>();
 3         if(num.length<3||num == null)
 4             return res;
 5         
 6         HashSet<ArrayList<Integer>> hs = new HashSet<ArrayList<Integer>>();
 7         
 8         Arrays.sort(num);
 9         
10         for(int i = 0; i <= num.length-3; i++){
11             int low = i+1;
12             int high = num.length-1;
13             while(low<high){//since they cannot be the same one, low should not equal to high
14                 int sum = num[i]+num[low]+num[high];
15                 if(sum == 0){
16                     ArrayList<Integer> unit = new ArrayList<Integer>();
17                     unit.add(num[i]);
18                     unit.add(num[low]);
19                     unit.add(num[high]);
20                     
21                     if(!hs.contains(unit)){
22                         hs.add(unit);
23                         res.add(unit);
24                     }
25                     
26                     low++;
27                     high--;
28                 }else if(sum > 0)
29                     high --;
30                  else
31                     low ++;
32             }
33         }
34         
35         return res;
36     }


同时,解决duplicate问题,也可以通过挪动指针来解决判断,当找到一个合格结果时,将3个加数指针挪动到与当前值不同的地方,才再进行继续判断,代码如下:
 1     public ArrayList<ArrayList<Integer>> threeSum(int[] num) {
 2         ArrayList<ArrayList<Integer>> res = new ArrayList<ArrayList<Integer>>();
 3         if(num.length<3||num == null)
 4             return res;
 5         
 6         Arrays.sort(num);
 7         
 8         for(int i = 0; i <= num.length-3; i++){
 9             if(i==0||num[i]!=num[i-1]){//remove dupicate
10                 int low = i+1;
11                 int high = num.length-1;
12                 while(low<high){
13                     int sum = num[i]+num[low]+num[high];
14                     if(sum == 0){
15                         ArrayList<Integer> unit = new ArrayList<Integer>();
16                         unit.add(num[i]);
17                         unit.add(num[low]);
18                         unit.add(num[high]);
19                         
20                         res.add(unit);
21                         
22                         low++;
23                         high--;
24                         
25                         while(low<high&&num[low]==num[low-1])//remove dupicate
26                             low++;
27                         while(low<high&&num[high]==num[high+1])//remove dupicate
28                             high--;
29                             
30                     }else if(sum > 0)
31                         high --;
32                      else
33                         low ++;
34                 }
35             }
36         }
37         return res;
38     }
