3Sum

Given an array S of n integers, are there elements abc 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, a ≤ b ≤ c)
  • 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)

分析:该题的主要思路是:先对num排序,然后最外层循环从第一个元素到倒数第三个元素,循环里用2sum两个指针的解法。此题的难点在于如何remove duplicates。如果在最后对结果除重,会超时,所以要在产生的过程中防止产生重复的triplet。
class Solution {public:    vector<vector<int> > threeSum(vector<int> &num) {        vector<vector<int>> res;        int n = num.size();        if(n < 3) return res;                sort(num.begin(), num.end());        for(int i = 0; i < n-2; i++){
       //remove duplicates
if(i == 0 || (i > 0 && num[i-1] != num[i])){ int left = i+1, right = n-1; while(left < right){ if(num[i] + num[left] + num[right] < 0) left++; else if(num[i] + num[left] + num[right] > 0) right--; else{ res.push_back({num[i], num[left], num[right]}); left++; right--;
              //remove duplicates
while(left < right && num[left] == num[left-1]) left++; while(left < right && num[right] == num[right+1]) right--; } } } } return res; }};
