DIY: Combination Sum

Explore how to determine all unique combinations of distinct integers that sum to a target value, allowing repeated use of numbers. This lesson helps you implement the combination sum algorithm, strengthening your problem-solving skills for coding interviews.

Problem statement

We are given a list of distinct integers named contenders. Our goal is to determine all possible ways to pick any or all of these integers such that they add to the value target. The same number may be picked for addition an unlimited number of times. Two arrangements of numbers that add to target are unique if they differ by at least one number. If two arrangements use the same set of numbers, they are still considered ...
