Unique Combinations Sum

MediumPython

Problem

Given a set of integers, find all unique combinations that sum up to a target value.

Implement find_combinations(nums, target), using each input element at most once. The input contains nonnegative integers, and duplicate values must not produce duplicate combinations.

Return a list of combinations, with each combination sorted in nondecreasing order and the result generated in lexicographic order. Return [[]] when target is zero and no elements are selected.

Constraints

  • 1 <= nums.length <= 30
  • 0 <= nums[i] <= 100
  • 0 <= target <= 1000
  • Each input element may be used at most once
  • The output must not contain duplicate combinations
