leetcode 18. 4Sum (k-sum问题,two pointer)

Given an array S of n integers, are there elements a, b, c, and d in S such that a + b + c + d = target? Find all unique quadruplets in the array which gives the sum of target.

Note: The solution set must not contain duplicate quadruplets.

思路: O(n^2)枚举两个元素,变成2-sum问题,总体复杂度O(n^3)

hash的解法以后补
