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: 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]]

思路分析

刚开始我使用确定两个数去二分查找另外一个数,这样时间复杂度是O(N^2long N),但是有个问题就是不好去重,这个着实让我很纠结,然后思路一下被限制了。查看leetcode discuss之后,看到人家的答案豁然开朗。

我们换个思路,这次确定一个值,然后two pointer去查找另外两个元素,把sum = 0的全部添加进来,然后确定下一个元素的时候,我们跳过和之前一样的元素,这样时间复杂度O(N^2),而且去重还贼简单(看了别人的答案,我反手给自己一巴掌,实在太智障)。

  1. for i 0 to length - 2
  2. two pinter查找sum = 0 - nums[i]如果相等,添加答案,并且skip重复的元素
  3. 如果不相等,判断与0 - nums[i]的大小,然后移动指针即可

代码实现

static class Solution {        public List<List<Integer>> threeSum(int[] nums) {            List<List<Integer>> ans = new ArrayList<>();            if (nums.length < 3) {                return ans;            }            Arrays.sort(nums);            for (int i = 0; i < nums.length - 2; i++) {                // the min elemment > 0, break                if (nums[i] > 0) {                    break;                }                // skip repeat element                if (i > 0 && nums[i] == nums[i - 1]) {                    continue;                }                int low = i + 1, high = nums.length - 1, target = 0 - nums[i];                while (low < high) {                    if (target < nums[low] + nums[high]) {                        high--;                    } else if (target > nums[low] + nums[high]) {                        low++;                    } else {                        ans.add(Arrays.asList(nums[i], nums[low], nums[high]));                        //eg: -2 0 0 1 1 2 2 and skip repeating elements, and their sum equals target                        while (low < high && nums[low + 1] == nums[low])  {                            low++;                        }                        while (low < high && nums[high - 1] == nums[high]) {                            high--;                        }                        low++;                        high--;                    }                }            }            return ans;        }    }

代码很简单,相信你一看就懂,实在不懂,就再看一遍。
