Combination Sum II

Problem statement

Given a collection of candidate numbers (candidates) and a target number (target), find all unique combinations in candidates where the candidate numbers sum to target.

Each number in candidates may only be used once in the combination.

Note: The solution set must not contain duplicate combinations.

Example 1:

Input: candidates = [10,1,2,7,6,1,5], target = 8Output: [[1,1,6],[1,2,5],[1,7],[2,6]]

Example 2:

Input: candidates = [2,5,2,1,2], target = 5Output: [[1,2,2],[5]]

Constraints:

  • 1 <= candidates.length <= 100
  • 1 <= candidates[i] <= 50
  • 1 <= target <= 30

My solution

/**
* @param {number[]} candidates
* @param {number} target
* @return {number[][]}
*/
var combinationSum2 = function(candidates, target) {
const result = []
candidates.sort((a, b) => a - b)

// console.log(candidates)

function dfs(idx, localTarget, arr = []) {
// console.log(idx, localTarget, arr)
if (localTarget < 0) {
return;
}

if (localTarget === 0) {
return result.push([...arr])
}

for (let i = idx; i < candidates.length; i++) {
if (i !== idx && candidates[i] === candidates[i - 1]) {
continue
}
// console.log(candidates[i])
dfs(i + 1, localTarget - candidates[i], [...arr, candidates[i]])
}
}

dfs(0, target)

return result;
};
