LeetCode Combination Sum

Description

Given a set of candidate numbers (C) and a target number (T), find all unique combinations in C where the candidate numbers sums to T.

The same repeated number may be chosen from C unlimited number of times.

Note:

• All numbers (including target) will be positive integers.
• Elements in a combination (a1, a2, … , ak) must be in non-descending order. (ie, a1 ≤ a2 ≤ … ≤ ak).
• The solution set must not contain duplicate combinations.

For example, given candidate set 2,3,6,7 and target 7,
A solution set is:
[7]
[2, 2, 3]

My Solution

I solve this problem in C++, as below:

#include<iostream>
#include<math.h>
#include<vector>
#include<stdlib.h>
using namespace std;

class Solution {
public:    
    vector<vector<int>> result;
    vector<vector<int>> combinationSum(vector<int>& candidates, int target) {           
        int size = candidates.size();
        if(size <= 0)
            return result;
        vector<int> oneSet;
        sort(candidates.begin(),candidates.end());
        oneCombination(candidates, oneSet, 0, target);
        return result;
    }
    void oneCombination(vector<int>&candidates, vector<int> &oneSet, int start, int target) {        
        if(target < 0)
            return;
        else if(target == 0){
            result.push_back(oneSet);
            return;
        }
        for(int i=start;i < candidates.size(); i++){
            int newTarget = target-candidates[i];
            oneSet.push_back(candidates[i]);
            oneCombination(candidates, oneSet, i, newTarget);
            oneSet.pop_back();
        }
        return;
    }
};

Note

To solve the problem, recursion is used.
