Find all distinct combinations of k sum in array

The given problem deals with finding all distinct combinations of k-sum in an array. The problem essentially requires us to identify all possible combinations of k elements from the array that add up to a given target sum.

Problem Statement

Given an array of integers and a target sum 'k', we need to find all distinct combinations of k elements from the array that sum up to 'k'. The combinations should not contain duplicates, and the order of elements in a combination doesn't matter.

Example

Let's understand the problem using an example:

Input

Array: [5, 2, 2, 1, 6, 3, 4]
Target Sum: 7

Output

1 1 1 1 1 1 1
1 1 1 1 1 2
1 1 1 1 3
1 1 1 2 2
1 1 1 4
1 1 2 3
1 1 5
1 2 2 2
1 2 4
1 3 3
1 6
2 2 3
2 5
3 4

Idea to Solve

To solve this problem, we can use a recursive approach that generates combinations by including and excluding elements from the array. We need to consider each element of the array and decide whether to include it in the current combination or not. While generating combinations, we keep track of the current sum and the elements included in the combination. We continue this process recursively until we reach the target sum 'k'.

Pseudocode

function findCombinations(array, currentIndex, currentSum, currentCombination):
    if currentSum == k:
        add currentCombination to result
        return
    
    if currentIndex >= length of array or currentSum > k:
        return
    
    include current element:
    findCombinations(array, currentIndex, currentSum + array[currentIndex], currentCombination + array[currentIndex])
    
    exclude current element:
    findCombinations(array, currentIndex + 1, currentSum, currentCombination)

result = []
findCombinations(array, 0, 0, [])
return result

Algorithm Explanation

  1. Initialize an empty array 'result' to store the distinct combinations.
  2. Define a recursive function 'findCombinations' that takes four parameters: 'array', 'currentIndex', 'currentSum', and 'currentCombination'.
  3. Inside the function:
    • If 'currentSum' equals 'k', add 'currentCombination' to the 'result' array and return.
    • If 'currentIndex' is greater than or equal to the length of the array or 'currentSum' exceeds 'k', return.
    • Include the current element by recursively calling 'findCombinations' with the updated 'currentIndex', 'currentSum', and 'currentCombination' (include the current element in 'currentCombination').
    • Exclude the current element by recursively calling 'findCombinations' with the next index ('currentIndex + 1'), the same 'currentSum', and 'currentCombination'.
  4. Call 'findCombinations' initially with parameters ('array', 0, 0, []) to start generating combinations.
  5. Return the 'result' array containing all distinct combinations.

Time Complexity Analysis

The time complexity of this approach depends on the number of valid combinations. In the worst case, when there are many valid combinations, the algorithm can take exponential time. Let's denote 'n' as the length of the input array. Since we are exploring all possible combinations, the time complexity could be O(2^n) in the worst case.
