LeetCode 18:4Sum

Given an array S of n integers, are there elements abc, and d in S such that a + b + c + d = target? Find all unique quadruplets in the array which gives the sum of target.

Note: The solution set must not contain duplicate quadruplets.

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]
]

前面有一道3Sum的题,因此手写一气呵成写完,原以为没啥问题,结果第一个testcase都没跑过

            }
        }

}

居然结果都不对

大半夜的,眼神不好,看了半天也没看出哪里有问题,IDEA设置了个条件断点,i=1,j=2,left=3,right=4这种情况没有输出,看下原因

当i=1,j=2,left=3,right=5时,sum>0,right=right-1=4

因为right是递减,这就奇怪了,当i=1,j=2,left进到这个判断条件里了,

不太对劲,理论上left++了,才会判断是否nums[left] == nums[left-1]避免重复,这里right递减会left++;;仔细一看,最后两个while放错了地方,应该是在else里,避免tempList里重复的myList做的检查

            }
        }
        return tempList;
    }
}

但是结果还是不对,输入[0,0,0,0],返回[]了,应该返回[[0,0,0,0]],原因在第二层for循环,continue的判断多余,这是4个数,不是3个数;3个数只有一个基准,那么nums[i] == nums[i-1]时,已经在上层循环遍历过一次了,此次所以可以跳过;但是4个数有两个基准,nums[i] + nums[j]共同决定,就算nums[i]=nums[j]也不能说明什么;同理else里面的两个while也一样

同样可以调试一把

while里做了误操作

解决:

1:去掉j循环体里continue判断

2:else里的while去掉,add的时候加一个判断,myList不重复即可

3:更蛋疼的是,题目要求和为target,而不是0,眼神不好
