Problem: Sum of Three Values

Medium
30 min
Explore the 3Sum problem where you find unique triplets in an array that sum to zero by applying the two pointers approach. This lesson helps you understand the problem constraints, visualize the logic, and implement an optimized linear solution using two pointers for coding interviews.

Statement

Given an integer array, nums, find and return all unique triplets [nums[i], nums[j], nums[k]], such that i \neq j, i \neq k, and j \neq k and nums[i] + nums[j] + nums[k] ==0== 0.

Note: The order of the triplets in the output does not matter.

Constraints:

  • 33 \leq nums.length 500\leq 500

  • 103-10^3 \leq nums[i] 103\leq 10^3
