494. Target Sum

Medium

You are given an integer array nums and an integer target.

You want to build an expression out of nums by adding one of the symbols '+' and '-' before each integer in nums and then concatenate all the integers.

• For example, if nums = [2, 1], you can add a '+' before 2 and a '-' before 1 and concatenate them to build the expression "+2-1".

Return the number of different expressions that you can build, which evaluates to target.

Example 1:

Input: nums = [1,1,1,1,1], target = 3

Output: 5

Explanation:

There are 5 ways to assign symbols to make the sum of nums be target 3.
-1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 3
+1 - 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 3
+1 + 1 - 1 + 1 + 1 = 3
+1 + 1 + 1 - 1 + 1 = 3
+1 + 1 + 1 + 1 - 1 = 3 

Example 2:

Input: nums = [1], target = 1

Output: 1

Constraints:

• 1 <= nums.length <= 20
• 0 <= nums[i] <= 1000
• 0 <= sum(nums[i]) <= 1000
• -1000 <= target <= 1000

Solution

class Solution {
    func findTargetSumWays(_ nums: [Int], _ target: Int) -> Int {
        let sum = nums.reduce(0,+)
        let positiveSubsetVal = (target + sum)/2
        if target > sum || target < -sum {
            return 0
        } else if positiveSubsetVal - (sum - positiveSubsetVal) != target {
            return 0
        }
        var prev = Array(repeating: 0, count: positiveSubsetVal+1)
        var curr = Array(repeating: 0, count: positiveSubsetVal+1)
        prev[0] = 1
        for row in 0..<nums.count {
            for col in 0..<positiveSubsetVal+1 {
                let includingCount = col - nums[row] >= 0 ? prev[col - nums[row]] : 0
                curr[col] = prev[col] + includingCount
            }
            prev = curr
        }
        
        return curr[curr.count-1]
    }
}
