题目:
1. Two Sum
Given an array of integers, return indices of the two numbers such that they add up to a specific target.
You may assume that each input would have exactly one solution, and you may not use the same element twice.
Given nums = [2, 7, 11, 15], target = 9, Because nums[0] + nums[1] = 2 + 7 = 9, return [0, 1].
15.3Sum:
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.
For example, given array S = [-1, 0, 1, 2, -1, -4], A solution set is: [ [-1, 0, 1], [-1, -1, 2] ]
18. 4Sum
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.
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] ]
思路:
这三道题本质上属于同一问题:给定一个数组和目标target,求k个元素,使得k个元素相加的和为target。可能出现的变式为:1.求元素的下标;2.不得重复使用同一元素等,下面进行分析。
对于2Sum而言,要求a+b=target,也就是任意选定元素a,寻找数组中是否有元素b使得b=target-a。可以选择方法有:
方法一:枚举所有的2-subset, 那么这样的复杂度就是从N选出2个,复杂度是O(N^2)
方法二:对数组进行排序并利用头尾两个指针找到两个数使得他们的和等于target。
对于3Sum而言,要求a+b+c=target,这道题可以转化为2Sum问题。即任意选定元素a,在剩余的元素中查找是否存在2个数使得b+c=targe-a。
对于4Sum而言,也可以转化为2Sum问题。任意选定元素a和b,在剩余的元素中查找是否存在2个数使得c+d=targe-a-b。
