Combination Sum II

Problem Statement

Given a collection of candidate numbers (candidates) and a target number (target), find all unique combinations in candidates where the candidate numbers sum to target.

Each number in candidates may only be used once in the combination.

Note: The solution set must not contain duplicate combinations.

Example 1:

Input: candidates = [10,1,2,7,6,1,5], target = 8
Output:
[
[1,1,6],
[1,2,5],
[1,7],
[2,6]
]

Example 2:

Input: candidates = [2,5,2,1,2], target = 5
Output:
[
[1,2,2],
[5]
]

Constraints:

  • 1 <= candidates.length <= 100
  • 1 <= candidates[i] <= 50
  • 1 <= target <= 30

Python Code

class Solution(object):
def combinationSum2(self, candidates, target):
candidates.sort()
table = [None] + [set() for i in range(target)]
for i in candidates:
if i > target:
break
for j in range(target - i, 0, -1):
table[i + j] |= {elt + (i,) for elt in table[j]}
table[i].add((i,))
return map(list, table[target])
