Java > Recursion-2 > groupSumClump
prev  |  next  |  chance

Given an array of ints, is it possible to choose a group of some of the ints, such that the group sums to the given target, with this additional constraint: if there are numbers in the array that are adjacent and the identical value, they must either all be chosen, or none of them chosen. For example, with the array {1, 2, 2, 2, 5, 2}, either all three 2's in the middle must be chosen or not, all as a group. (one loop can be used to find the extent of the identical values).

groupSumClump(0, {2, 4, 8}, 10) → true
groupSumClump(0, {1, 2, 4, 8, 1}, 14) → true
groupSumClump(0, {2, 4, 4, 8}, 14) → false
