Problem: Sum of Three Values

med
30 min
Explore how to solve the 3Sum problem by finding unique triplets that sum to zero in an integer array. This lesson teaches you to apply the two pointers pattern to efficiently traverse linear data structures and avoid duplicate results.

Statement

Given an integer array nums, find all unique triplets [nums[i], nums[j], nums[k]] where i, j, and k are distinct indices, such that the three elements sum to zero.

The result must not contain any duplicate triplets. The order of the output and the order of elements within each triplet does not matter.

Note: The solution set must only include unique triplets. Two triplets are considered duplicates if they contain the same elements regardless of ordering.

Constraints:

  • 33 \leq nums.length 3000\leq 3000

  • 105-10^5 \leq nums[i] 105\leq 10^5
