3Sum Smaller
Given an array of n integers nums and a target, find the number of index triplets
i, j, k
with0 <= i < j < k < n
that satisfy the conditionnums[i] + nums[j] + nums[k] < target
.For example, given nums =
[-2, 0, 1, 3]
, and target = 2.Return 2. Because there are two triplets which sums are less than 2:
[-2, 0, 1] [-2, 0, 3]Follow up:
Could you solve it in O(n2) runtime?
//Sort it , and then use two pointers algorithm class Solution { public: int threeSumSmaller(vector<int>& nums, int target) { if(nums.size() < 3) return 0; sort(nums.begin(), nums.end()); int count = 0; for(int i = 0; i < nums.size() - 2; i++){ int j = i + 1; int k = nums.size() - 1; while(j < k){ int sum = nums[i] + nums[j] + nums[k]; if(sum < target){ count += k - j; j++; } else{ k--; } } } return count; } };
