一,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] ]
二,思路
1,先排序
2,固定第一个值的位置,然后从下一所以位置(left) 和最后的索引位置( right )two pointer进行判断
如果固定的位置的值和left,right的和 sum为0,是一个解,,大于零right--, 小于0 left++
在left和right移动过程中,注意相同元素的跳过(skip)即可去除重复的值
三,代码
public List<List<Integer>> threeSum(int[] nums) {
List<List<Integer>> results = new ArrayList<List<Integer>>();
if (nums == null || nums.length < 3) {
return results;
}
Arrays.sort(nums);
int len = nums.length;
for (int i = 0; i < len - 2; i++) {
if (i != 0 && nums[i] == nums[i - 1]) {
continue;
}
int left = i + 1;
int right = len - 1;
int sum = 0;
while (left < right) {
sum = nums[left] + nums[right] + nums[i];
if (sum == 0) {
List<Integer> result = new ArrayList<Integer>();
result.add(nums[i]);
result.add(nums[left]);
result.add(nums[right]);
results.add(result);
left++;
right--;
while (left < right && nums[left] == nums[left - 1]) {
left++;
}
while (left < right && nums[right] == nums[right + 1]) {
right--;
}
} else if (sum < 0) {
left++;
} else {
right--;
}
}
}
return results;
}
