77. Combinations
Description
Given two integers n and k, return all possible combinations of k numbers chosen from the range [1, n].
You may return the answer in any order.
Example 1:
Input: n = 4, k = 2 Output: [[1,2],[1,3],[1,4],[2,3],[2,4],[3,4]] Explanation: There are 4 choose 2 = 6 total combinations. Note that combinations are unordered, i.e., [1,2] and [2,1] are considered to be the same combination.
Example 2:
Input: n = 1, k = 1 Output: [[1]] Explanation: There is 1 choose 1 = 1 total combination.
Constraints:
1 <= n <= 201 <= k <= n
Solutions
Solution 1: Backtracking (Two Ways)
We design a function dfs(i), which represents starting the search from number i, with the current search path as t, and the answer as ans.
The execution logic of the function dfs(i) is as follows:
- If the length of the current search path
tequalsk, then add the current search path to the answer and return. - If
i \gt n, it means the search has ended, return. - Otherwise, we can choose to add the number
ito the search patht, and then continue the search, i.e., executedfs(i + 1), and then remove the numberifrom the search patht; or we do not add the numberito the search patht, and directly executedfs(i + 1).
The above method is actually enumerating whether to select the current number or not, and then recursively searching the next number. We can also enumerate the next number j to be selected, where i \leq j \leq n. If the next number to be selected is j, then we add the number j to the search path t, and then continue the search, i.e., execute dfs(j + 1), and then remove the number j from the search path t.
In the main function, we start the search from number 1, i.e., execute dfs(1).
The time complexity is (C_n^k \times k), and the space complexity is O(k). Here, C_n^k represents the combination number.
