3Sum Smaller
Given an array of n integers nums and a target, find the number of index triplets
i, j, kwith0 <= i < j < k < nthat 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;
}
};
