Description#
You are given a 0-indexed array of integers nums, and an integer target.
Return the length of the longest subsequence of nums that sums up to target. If no such subsequence exists, return -1.
A subsequence is an array that can be derived from another array by deleting some or no elements without changing the order of the remaining elements.
Example 1:
Input: nums = [1,2,3,4,5], target = 9
Output: 3
Explanation: There are 3 subsequences with a sum equal to 9: [4,5], [1,3,5], and [2,3,4]. The longest subsequences are [1,3,5], and [2,3,4]. Hence, the answer is 3.
Example 2:
Input: nums = [4,1,3,2,1,5], target = 7
Output: 4
Explanation: There are 5 subsequences with a sum equal to 7: [4,3], [4,1,2], [4,2,1], [1,1,5], and [1,3,2,1]. The longest subsequence is [1,3,2,1]. Hence, the answer is 4.
Example 3:
Input: nums = [1,1,5,4,5], target = 3
Output: -1
Explanation: It can be shown that nums has no subsequence that sums up to 3.
Constraints:
1 <= nums.length <= 10001 <= nums[i] <= 10001 <= target <= 1000
Solutions#
Solution 1: Dynamic Programming#
We define $f[i][j]$ as the length of the longest subsequence that selects several numbers from the first $i$ numbers and the sum of these numbers is exactly $j$. Initially, $f[0][0]=0$, and all other positions are $-\infty$.
For $f[i][j]$, we consider the $i$th number $x$. If we do not select $x$, then $f[i][j]=f[i-1][j]$. If we select $x$, then $f[i][j]=f[i-1][j-x]+1$, where $j\ge x$. Therefore, we have the state transition equation:
$$
f[i][j]=\max{f[i-1][j],f[i-1][j-x]+1}
$$
The final answer is $f[n][target]$. If $f[n][target]\le0$, there is no subsequence with a sum of $target$, return $-1$.
The time complexity is $O(n\times target)$, and the space complexity is $O(n\times target)$. Here, $n$ is the length of the array, and $target$ is the target value.
We notice that the state of $f[i][j]$ is only related to $f[i-1][\cdot]$, so we can optimize the first dimension and reduce the space complexity to $O(target)$.
