LeetCode in Kotlin

377. Combination Sum IV

Medium

Given an array of distinct integers nums and a target integer target, return the number of possible combinations that add up to target.

The test cases are generated so that the answer can fit in a 32-bit integer.

Example 1:

Input: nums = [1,2,3], target = 4

Output: 7

Explanation:

The possible combination ways are:
(1, 1, 1, 1)
(1, 1, 2)
(1, 2, 1)
(1, 3)
(2, 1, 1)
(2, 2)
(3, 1)
Note that different sequences are counted as different combinations.

Example 2:

Input: nums = [9], target = 3

Output: 0

Constraints:

Follow up: What if negative numbers are allowed in the given array? How does it change the problem? What limitation we need to add to the question to allow negative numbers?

Solution

class Solution {
    private lateinit var storage: IntArray

    fun combinationSum4(nums: IntArray, target: Int): Int {
        storage = IntArray(target + 1)
        storage.fill(-1)
        return result(nums, target)
    }

    private fun result(nums: IntArray, target: Int): Int {
        if (target < 0) {
            return 0
        }
        if (target == 0) {
            return 1
        }
        if (storage[target] != -1) {
            return storage[target]
        }
        var count = 0
        for (i in nums) {
            count += result(nums, target - i)
        }
        storage[target] = count
        return count
    }
}
