377. Combination Sum IV

Description

Given an array of distinct integers nums and a target integer target, return the number of possible combinations that add up to target.

The test cases are generated so that the answer can fit in a 32-bit integer.

 

Example 1:

Input: nums = [1,2,3], target = 4
Output: 7
Explanation:
The possible combination ways are:
(1, 1, 1, 1)
(1, 1, 2)
(1, 2, 1)
(1, 3)
(2, 1, 1)
(2, 2)
(3, 1)
Note that different sequences are counted as different combinations.

Example 2:

Input: nums = [9], target = 3
Output: 0

 

Constraints:

  • 1 <= nums.length <= 200
  • 1 <= nums[i] <= 1000
  • All the elements of nums are unique.
  • 1 <= target <= 1000

 

Follow up: What if negative numbers are allowed in the given array? How does it change the problem? What limitation we need to add to the question to allow negative numbers?

Solutions

Dynamic programming.

One-dimensional array dp, where dp[i] represents the number of solutions whose target number is i, and then traverses from 1 to target.

For each number i, traverse the nums array, if i>=x

int[] dp = new int[target + 1];

Follow up

If there is negative numbers allowed, there could be infinite possibilities.

  • e.g. target = 1, there is [-1, 1] in nums, then the possible ways could be -1+1+1, -1-1+1+1+1 …

If allowing negative numbers, there can’t be any combiantion of neigatie numers + any combiantion of positive numbers == 0.
