- Subsets Example LeetCode Question: 90. Subsets II
126+
====================================================
127+
128+
To solve the problem of finding all possible subsets (the power set) of an integer array `nums` that may contain duplicates,
129+
you can use a backtracking approach. The goal is to generate all subsets while ensuring that duplicates are not included
130+
in the final solution set.
131+
132+
Here's a step-by-step approach to solve the problem in Java, along with considerations for time and space complexity:
133+
134+
1. Sort the Array: Sorting the array helps in easily identifying duplicates. By sorting, duplicate elements will be
135+
adjacent, making it easier to skip them during the subset generation process.
136+
137+
2. Backtracking: Use a backtracking approach to generate subsets. Start with an empty subset and iteratively add
138+
elements from the array to build subsets.
139+
140+
3. Skip Duplicates: During the subset generation process, if an element is the same as the previous element (and
141+
the previous element was not included in the current subset), skip it to avoid generating duplicate subsets.
142+
143+
* Here is the Java implementation of this approach:
144+
---------------------------------------------------
145+
146+
import java.util.ArrayList;
147+
import java.util.Arrays;
148+
import java.util.List;
149+
150+
public class SubsetsWithDup {
151+
public List<List<Integer>> subsetsWithDup(int[] nums) {
152+
List<List<Integer>> result = new ArrayList<>();
153+
Arrays.sort(nums); // Sort the array to handle duplicates
154+
backtrack(result, new ArrayList<>(), nums, 0);
155+
return result;
156+
}
157+
158+
private void backtrack(List<List<Integer>> result, List<Integer> tempList, int[] nums, int start) {
159+
result.add(new ArrayList<>(tempList)); // Add the current subset to the result
160+
161+
for (int i = start; i < nums.length; i++) {
162+
// Skip duplicates
163+
if (i > start && nums[i] == nums[i - 1]) continue;
164+
tempList.add(nums[i]);
165+
backtrack(result, tempList, nums, i + 1);
166+
tempList.remove(tempList.size() - 1);
167+
}
168+
}
169+
170+
public static void main(String[] args) {
171+
SubsetsWithDup solution = new SubsetsWithDup();
172+
int[] nums = {1, 2, 2};
173+
List<List<Integer>> subsets = solution.subsetsWithDup(nums);
174+
for (List<Integer> subset : subsets) {
175+
System.out.println(subset);
176+
}
177+
}
178+
}
179+
180+
* Time and Space Complexity Analysis:
181+
-------------------------------------
182+
183+
1. Time Complexity: The time complexity is O(2^n * n), where n is the number of elements in the array.
184+
The reason is that there are 2^n possible subsets for a set of size n, and generating each subset can take
185+
up to O(n) time (for copying the subset to the result list).
186+
187+
2. Space Complexity: The space complexity is also O(2^n * n). This includes the space required to store all the
188+
subsets (which can be up to 2^n subsets, each of which can be up to size n) and the recursion stack which
189+
can go up to O(n) deep.
190+
191+
In summary, this approach ensures that all unique subsets are generated without duplicates, leveraging sorting and
192+
a backtracking approach to manage the subsets efficiently.
