I am new to data structure and I am trying this problem Combination Sum
I know this might be super basic stuff but I am learning recursion and not want to learn where I am doing wrong so that I can correct my thinking process.
Given an array of distinct integers candidates and a target integer target, return a list of all unique combinations of candidates where the chosen numbers sum to target. You may return the combinations in any order.
The same number may be chosen from candidates an unlimited number of times. Two combinations are unique if the
frequency
of at least one of the chosen numbers is different.
The test cases are generated such that the number of unique combinations that sum up to target is less than 150 combinations for the given input.
var combinationSum = function(candidates, target) {
if(candidates.length == 0) return [[]]
if(target == 0) return [[]]
if(target<0) return []
result = []
for(let i=0; i<candidates.length; i++){
let arr = [...candidates]
// take the element
let result1 = combinationSum([...candidates], target-candidates[i])
// ignore the element
result1.forEach((e)=>{e.push(candidates[i])})
let result2 = combinationSum(arr.slice(0, i).concat(arr.slice(i + 1)), target)
result.push(...result1, ...result2)
}
return result
};
Right now, I am now working toward finding combination and not unique,
I am not able to comprehend why this is not working.
