1995. Count Special Quadruplets
Level
Easy
Description
Given a 0-indexed integer array nums, return the number of distinct quadruplets (a, b, c, d) such that:
nums[a] + nums[b] + nums[c] == nums[d], anda < b < c < d
Example 1:
Input: nums = [1,2,3,6]
Output: 1
Explanation: The only quadruplet that satisfies the requirement is (0, 1, 2, 3) because 1 + 2 + 3 == 6.
Example 2:
Input: nums = [3,3,6,4,5]
Output: 0
Explanation: There are no such quadruplets in [3,3,6,4,5].
Example 3:
Input: nums = [1,1,1,3,5]
Output: 4
Explanation: The 4 quadruplets that satisfy the requirement are:
- (0, 1, 2, 3): 1 + 1 + 1 == 3
- (0, 1, 3, 4): 1 + 1 + 3 == 5
- (0, 2, 3, 4): 1 + 1 + 3 == 5
- (1, 2, 3, 4): 1 + 1 + 3 == 5
Constraints:
4 <= nums.length <= 501 <= nums[i] <= 100
Solution
Loop over nums and count the number of quadruplets that satisfies the two conditions.
class Solution {
public int countQuadruplets(int[] nums) {
int count = 0;
int length = nums.length;
for (int i = 0; i < length - 3; i++) {
for (int j = i + 1; j < length - 2; j++) {
for (int k = j + 1; k < length - 1; k++) {
int sum = nums[i] + nums[j] + nums[k];
for (int m = k + 1; m < length; m++) {
if (sum == nums[m])
count++;
}
}
}
}
return count;
}
}
