259 3Sum Smaller
Problem:
Given an array of n integers nums and a target, find the number of index triplets i, j, k with 0 <= i < j < k < n that satisfy the condition nums[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?
Solutions:
public class Solution {
public int threeSumSmaller(int[] nums, int target) {
int count = 0;
Arrays.sort(nums);
for (int i = 0; i < nums.length - 2; i ++) {
int left = i + 1, right = nums.length - 1;
while (left < right) {
if (nums[i] + nums[left] + nums[right] < target) {
count += right - left;
left ++;
}
else {
right --;
}
}
}
return count;
}
}
