**一. 題目描述**
Given a set of candidate numbers (C) and a target number (T), find all unique combinations in C where the candidate numbers sums to T.
The same repeated number may be chosen from C unlimited number of times.
Note:?
? All numbers (including target) will be positive integers.?
? Elements in a combination (a1; a2; … ; ak) must be in non-descending order. (a1<=a2<=…<= ak).?
? The solution set must not contain duplicate combinations.
For example, given candidate set 2,3,6,7 and target 7, A solution set is:
~~~
[7]
[2, 2, 3]
~~~
**二. 題目分析**
題目大意是:有一個正整數集合C和一個正整數目標T。現從C中選出一些數,使其累加和恰好等于T(C中的每個數都可以取若干次),求所有不同的取數方案,是一道典型的深度優先搜索題。
題目的一個細節是,正整數集合C可能存在**重復的數**,而這些數用于組合時,會產生重復的排列組合,如下圖所示,而題目要求:The solution set must not contain duplicate combinations.

我的解決方法是對正整數集合C先進行從小到大排序,然后使用vector的erase方法去除集合C的重復元素,然后再進行DFS的相關運算。
**三. 示例代碼**
~~~
#include <iostream>
#include <vector>
#include <algorithm>
using namespace std;
class Solution
{
public:
vector<vector<int> > combinationSum(vector<int> &candidates, int target)
{
vector<int> temp; // 用于存放臨時組合
sort(candidates.begin(), candidates.end());
// 結果要求輸出的組合不能重復,需要去除candidates中的重復元素
candidates.erase(unique(candidates.begin(), candidates.end()), candidates.end());
combinationDFS(candidates, temp, 0, target);
return result;
}
private:
vector<vector<int> > result;
void combinationDFS(vector<int> &candidates, vector<int> &temp, size_t index, int target)
{
if (target == 0) // 得到滿足目標的一組解
{
result.push_back(temp);
return;
}
else
{
for (size_t i = index; i < candidates.size(); ++i)
{
if (candidates[i] > target)
return;
temp.push_back(candidates[i]);
combinationDFS(candidates, temp, i, target - candidates[i]);
temp.pop_back();
}
}
}
};
~~~
