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] ] */ public class ThreeSum { /** * Main method * * @param args * @throws Exception */ public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception { int[] nums = { -1, 0, 1, 2, -1, -4, -1, 0, 1, 2, -1, -4, -1, 0, 1, 2, -1, -4, -1, 0, 1, 2, -1, -4, -1, 0, 1, 2, -1, -4, -1, 0, 1, 2, -1, -4, -1, 0, 1, 2, -1, -4, -1, 0, 1, 2, -1, -4 }; System.out.println(new ThreeSum().threeSum(nums)); } public List> threeSum(int[] nums) { List> result = new ArrayList<>(); if (nums.length < 3) return result; Arrays.sort(nums); for (int i = 0, l = nums.length; i < l - 2; i++) { if (i == 0 || nums[i] != nums[i - 1]) { int j = i + 1, k = l - 1; while (k > j) { if (j != i + 1 && nums[j] == nums[j - 1]) { j++; continue; } int sum = nums[i] + nums[j] + nums[k]; if (sum == 0) { result.add(Arrays.asList(nums[i], nums[j], nums[k])); k--; j++; } else if (sum > 0) k--; else j++; } } } return result; } }
