Problem: Sum of Three Values

med
30 min
Explore the 3Sum problem to identify unique triplets in an integer array that sum to zero. Learn how to apply the two pointers technique to efficiently solve this challenge while avoiding duplicate results. This lesson helps you understand the problem constraints, validates your approach with quizzes, and guides you through implementation with hints and practice.

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
