You said it is O(n3) but sorting will take some time to what about that?
@@uniqueyuvrajgaming3392nlog n is basically negligible in comparision of n3 thats why is it not included
Sir,I have one confusion about the time complexity.
Inside the innermost loop we have the insert operation in set which take O(logN) in the worst case considering we have n elements inside the side.
If we are taking the worst case means that the if(sum==target) is true for each condition.Then Why we are not considering it's complexity.
According to my calculation,Time Complexity is O(N^3(logN)).
Please sir reply.
Thank you in Advance.
@@uniqueyuvrajgaming3392 Sorting will have always 4 elements which will take constant time.
Note: 0:42 Make sure you watch the 3Sum before doing the 4Sum .

Hi Raj, there are 2 slight mistakes in your optimal solution.
1: The 1st for loop will run till n-3 and 2nd for loop will run till n-2 instead of n, because we need to allocate last 2 elements to our two pointers and as per your code when i=n-2, j becomes n-1 (j=i+1=n-2+1) and num[k] throws out of bound exception, because k becomes n(k=j+1)
2: We could also increment low and decrement high when sumtarget respectively until there are duplicates for code to be more optimised.
3: Here's the more readable code(JAVA):
class Solution {
public List fourSum(int[] nums, int target) {
int n = nums.length;
List result = new ArrayList();
Arrays.sort(nums);
for(int i=0; i
hatsoff bro i was confused for 4 hours for optimal solution that passes all test cases.after seeing your comment it helped me to understand it.thankyou :)
@@_Arunvfx glad you finally understood it. Keep pushing forward 😃

Can you elaborate your experience? Asking for a friend
can you explain about your experience...🙂🙂

Would you take a moment to share your experience with us.
the way you explain the two pointer approaches and the use of them makes two pointer approach the easiest way to solve a problem. I fell in love the way you are teaching these concepts.

@@takeUforward Yes, I watch the all the videos. After the watching video i comment the Timestamp.
Recursion and Backtracking series is the one of the best explanation and understanding with your teaching style. I completed 2 days ago.

wow,....wow....wah..awesome expaination. undestood bro..hatsoff to you.
Understood,Thanks striver for this amazing video.
Thanks a ton for explaining in simplest way 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I have done this question using subsequence technique thanks u raj sir 😊 u teach really simple
The consistency level of striver is really the source of motivation 🔥.
This has to be the horniest coding problem 🌚
Thankyou for the wonderful series ❤️🔥

Understood!! Thanks for the nice explanation
Awesome Lecture Sir............
Striver..... you are amazing.................................... Thanks so much bro
Great bhaiya ❤️🇮🇳 , ready for next one
Understood! Super wonderful explanation as always, thank you so so much for your effort!!
Thank you so much Striver brother, you taught the 3sum and 4sum very clearly. 💀💀
ok jokes apart lol, this series is just too good, i can literally find every concept DSA related a lot of questions of each and every concept.
best explanation on you tube
Amazing, thankyou!
Striverr bhai ke liye toh 10some bhi asaan hai...Jokes apart hes the best teacher on youtube
excellent question....
Amazing Explanation
if u are stuck at test case 281 in leet code then :-
class Solution {
public:
vector fourSum(vector& nums, int target) {
int n =nums.size();
vector ans;
sort(nums.begin(),nums.end());
for(auto it:nums)
cout
Thank you bro. Understood
Sir app apne resume k project me konsa tech stack use kya haii. ❤ love your videos
We should consider the time complexity for sorting the given array right ?
understood , thank you!
Nice to do 4 sum.
When striver submits on Code Studio , it also showed him time complexity as O(n4 log n) but it doesn't show in mine. Why?
After doing 4 Sum.... I think Sky is the limit 🌝
Thank you!
Bhaiya is everything fine any health issues video is not coming ??
while i'm taking sum==target case in else it is not working like we did in three sum and if i put if(sum==target) at initial position it is working . why it is so ?
Just wanted to add the Time Complexity will also contain log(n) since we are sorting the array, right?
Nice explanation. But the title is a bit too sus don't you think?
Though I am little bit late, in this A to Z DSA Playlist But I covered All previous Videos within a week & now just completed 4 Sum. Striver Sir You are great! You will going to create a history in DSA course very soon around all over the World … I don't have the proper words to express my gratitude to you. All the Best Sir God bless you .
@@ArjunS-hi3vl Yes
have you completed the course ? im also quite late in starting the course and moving at about the same pace as you
@ankitadas5833 hey I would like to know if you have completed entire striver a2z dsa course? If yes, how much time did you take to complete entire course?
People who are aware of 2 pointer approach, watch from 14:56, saves a lot of time.
thank you
Hi sir
We request you
Can you please make a video on Alex goes Shopping problem. We cannot understand the question.
23:16 shouldnt j= i+1 will be second element? I cant understand
understood !
What about Time complexity for sorting the arrray? I know it will be lesser than N3 in this case. But still good to mention that!. Thanks for putting all the hard word!.
you are the best 🧿🧿
why is it when i use:-
long long sum = nums[i]+nums[j]+nums[k]+nums[l]
-----it says runtime error but when i use :-
long long sum = nums[i];
sum+=nums[j];
sum+=nums[k];
sum+=nums[l];
----it works fine. Why is that?
Bhaiya , Can uh please post an article about k sum similiar to this type , which is applicable for all k sums . It can help to build intution!!!!
Understood ❤

Thxu striver bhai 😊😊
It's amazing from brute to better to optimal similarly like 2Sum, 3Sum .. and my doubts in what's about 5-Sum, 6-Sum.. is any universal solution exist?
Yes, the complexity will keep on increasing tho
Understood!
Keep going 👍

is this the end..or more videos will come....I'm about to start this course.

Tree ka v new playlist aayega kya...
bhiya unique no of occurences ka que bina set and hashmap ke kara dijiye.
ekdum samjh nahi aata ye que
in the brute force approach when we first added nums[i]+nums[k]+nums[k]+nums[l] and then checked if its == target then it gives integer overflow error regardless of sum being stored in long long variable but if we do it one by one like sum = nums[i]+nums[j] and then sum+=nums[k] and sum+=nums[l] then the error is resolved can anyone please explain to me how its working.
did you found how does it works ? same doubt here
Imagine someone getting your video, on Searching 3sum video or 4sum video on google 🌚😂
Optimal Orgasm 🤣
😂😂
Awesome
Thanks Lord
Understood
Can't we sort the whole list initially rather than sorting it again and again in brute force?
Understood ❤️
Understood 🎉
understood👍
easy peasy✨✨
Aaj maza aa gya 3 sum karke🌚🌚🌚 ab 4 sum krunga
The complexity of better solution is n^4 *logn according to codestudio
Thank You : )
understood ;)
Tapped into pleasure back to back with 4Sum followed by 3Sum
For optimal solution time complexity, we have to add sort() time too ig
Hi, thanks for the video explanation. I had one doubt. When we get the sum==target, we move the k and l pointers front and back respectively [not just once but until we get a different value for k and l pointers so as to not repeat the same ans]. Why are we not doing the same when {sumtarget}. [i.e. in these 2 cases we just do k+=1 or l-=1; shouldn't we here also move the k and l pointers ahead until we get a different value for them.] Please let me know if possible. Thanks!
It goes the same as well. If we move the pointer and again we get the same set , the sum will be the same right ? therefor if the sum is less than zero , it remains the same and vice versa. Then the iteration completes and we will hit the same condition. This goes until we get another pair.
UNDERSTOOD
why we are putting condition while(k
If k crosses l then we have gone through all the possibilities. Imagine this if they crosses each other they will act like each other. After crossing K will give the elements L has already given and the same goes for L
After Understanding this concept ,
I can Say that Sky is the limit..
understood
In the optimal code solution, why are we checking for k against k + 1, It seems to work for :
arr[k] == arr[k - 1]
this will work but at end. k will have value of last element of (common element sub array) e.g. [1,1,1,0,0,0,0,0,0]// after loop k will be 3 .
its cleaver trick to break loop and when access k. it will give new value (different from copy elements).
if we first decrese k(usual procedure of algo. nothing extra done); and then check arr[k] == arr[k + 1] in loop,
k- - // k=7
e.g. [1,1,1,0,0,0,0,0,0]
// after loop breaks, k will be 2
Can we do it using dp will it take less time than n^3 in dp?
ya that include exclude game and if size of temp vector is 4 then push back in ans.
US , THANK U
In the better approach why the code didn't gave runtime error for j and k when i = n - 1, because j = i + 1 and k = j + 1, making j and k going out of bounds of array so it should've thrown the error right?
while starting for loop we also stated j and k should be less than n if it goes out of bound whole loop will end.. so no chance
@@statuscreation9493 ohh got it thankyou bro
I think first i should learn 3SUM then will do 4SUM as you said

04:20 - what does exceeding the integer limit mean? (when we are storing it in a long long)
if you store in int it might exceed
@@takeUforward but in 3 sum we sum up like sum = nums[i]+nums[j]+nums[k] but in this 4 sum you sum up all the indices separately which is correct but I am getting error in a test case when I am doing sum = nums[i]+ nums[j]+ nums[k]+ nums[l]; why?
@@SANDEEPKUMAR-in6li the compiler has an algorithm for adding these numbers . while adding four numbers(big numbers) the algorithm needs a lot of space , but while adding two or three the space is under limit. hence adding them one by one is recomended.
