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; } }
