LeetCode in Kotlin

494. Target Sum

Medium

You are given an integer array nums and an integer target.

You want to build an expression out of nums by adding one of the symbols '+' and '-' before each integer in nums and then concatenate all the integers.

• For example, if nums = [2, 1], you can add a '+' before 2 and a '-' before 1 and concatenate them to build the expression "+2-1".

Return the number of different expressions that you can build, which evaluates to target.

Example 1:

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

Output: 5

Explanation: There are 5 ways to assign symbols to make the sum of nums be target 3.

-1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 3

+1 - 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 3

+1 + 1 - 1 + 1 + 1 = 3

+1 + 1 + 1 - 1 + 1 = 3

+1 + 1 + 1 + 1 - 1 = 3

Example 2:

Input: nums = [1], target = 1

Output: 1

Constraints:

• 1 <= nums.length <= 20
• 0 <= nums[i] <= 1000
• 0 <= sum(nums[i]) <= 1000
• -1000 <= target <= 1000

Solution

@Suppress("NAME_SHADOWING")
class Solution {
    fun findTargetSumWays(nums: IntArray, target: Int): Int {
        var target = target
        var sum = 0
        target = Math.abs(target)
        for (num in nums) {
            sum += num
        }
        // Invalid target, just return 0
        if (target > sum || (sum + target) % 2 != 0) {
            return 0
        }
        val dp = Array((sum + target) / 2 + 1) { IntArray(nums.size + 1) }
        dp[0][0] = 1
        // empty knapsack must be processed specially
        for (i in nums.indices) {
            if (nums[i] == 0) {
                dp[0][i + 1] = dp[0][i] * 2
            } else {
                dp[0][i + 1] = dp[0][i]
            }
        }
        for (i in 1 until dp.size) {
            for (j in nums.indices) {
                dp[i][j + 1] += dp[i][j]
                if (nums[j] <= i) {
                    dp[i][j + 1] += dp[i - nums[j]][j]
                }
            }
        }
        return dp[(sum + target) / 2][nums.size]
    }
}
