57. 3Sum【medium】

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.

Notice

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.

 

Example

For example, given array S = {-1 0 1 2 -1 -4}, A solution set is:

(-1, 0, 1)
(-1, -1, 2)

题意

给出一个有n个整数的数组S，在S中找到三个整数a, b, c，找到所有使得a + b + c = 0的三元组。

在三元组(a, b, c)，要求a <= b <= c。结果不能包含重复的三元组。

解法一：

      * @return : Find all unique triplets in the array which gives the sum of zero.

         vector<vector<int> > result;
 
         sort(nums.begin(), nums.end());
         for (int i = ; i < nums.size(); i++) {
             if (i >  && nums[i] == nums[i - ]) {
                 continue;
             }
 
             // two sum;
             int start = i + , end = nums.size() - ;
             int target = -nums[i];
