Leetcode 377. Combination Sum IV

Given an integer array with all positive numbers and no duplicates, find the number of possible combinations that add up to a positive integer target.

Example:

nums = [1, 2, 3]
target = 4

The possible combination ways are:
(1, 1, 1, 1)
(1, 1, 2)
(1, 2, 1)
(1, 3)
(2, 1, 1)
(2, 2)
(3, 1)

Note that different sequences are counted as different combinations.

Therefore the output is 7.

例子：[1,2,3,5,6], target = 8。dp[8] 意为有多少种方式可以生成8。

例如： 8=1(in nums) + 7 = 2(in nums) + 5 = 3(in nums) + 4= 5(in nums) + 3 = 6(in nums) + 2。 所以dp[8] = dp[7] + dp[5] + dp[4] + dp[3] + dp[2]。

        5=5(in nums) + 0 = 3(in nums) + 2 = 2(in nums) + 3 = 1(in nums) +４。　所以dp[5] = dp[0] + dp[2] + dp[4] + dp[4]。
