Combination Sum

Combination Sum

问题：

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]

我的代码：

public class Solution {
    public List<List<Integer>> combinationSum(int[] candidates, int target) {
        if(candidates == null || candidates.length == 0)    return rst;
        List<Integer> list = new ArrayList<Integer>();
        Arrays.sort(candidates);
        helper(list, candidates, target, 0, 0);
        return rst;
    }
    private List<List<Integer>> rst = new ArrayList<List<Integer>>();
    public void helper(List<Integer> list, int[] candidates, int target, int sum, int start)
    {
        if(sum > target)    return;
        if(sum == target)
        {
            if(!rst.contains(list))
                rst.add(new ArrayList(list));
            return;
        }
        for(int i = start ; i < candidates.length; i++)
        {
            list.add(candidates[i]);
            helper(list, candidates, target, sum + candidates[i], i);
            list.remove(list.size() - 1);
        }
    }
}
