首先推导0。0是加法的一个恒等式所以在这个特殊情况下，它在单类定律下是没有用的。如果你想向上爬到一个正数，也可以推导出负数。否则还需要做减法运算。

所以…在这个特定的作业中，你能得到的最快算法如下所示。

函数items2T ([n,……ns), t) { Var c = ~~(t/n); 返回ns。长度呢?数组(c + 1) .fill () .reduce((r，_，i) => r.concat(items2T(ns, t-n*i)。map(s => Array(i).fill(n).concat(s)))，[]) : t % n ?［］ :[数组(c) .fill (n)); }; Var数据= [3,9,8,4,5,7,10]， 结果; console.time(“组合”); result = items2T(data, 15); console.timeEnd(“组合”); console.log (JSON.stringify(结果));

这是一个非常快的算法，但如果你对数据数组进行降序排序，它会更快。使用.sort()是无关紧要的，因为算法最终会减少递归调用。

下面是一个Java版本，它非常适合小N和非常大的目标和，当复杂度O(t*N)(动态解)大于指数算法时。我的版本在中间攻击中使用了一个meet，并进行了一些调整，以降低复杂度，从经典的naive O(n*2^n)降低到O(2^(n/2))。

如果你想在32到64个元素之间的集合中使用这种方法，你应该将表示step函数中当前子集的int改为long，尽管随着集合大小的增加，性能显然会急剧下降。如果你想对一个有奇数个元素的集合使用这个，你应该给这个集合加上一个0，使它成为偶数。

另一个python解决方案是使用itertools.combination模块，如下所示:

#!/usr/local/bin/python

from itertools import combinations

def find_sum_in_list(numbers, target):
    results = []
    for x in range(len(numbers)):
        results.extend(
            [   
                combo for combo in combinations(numbers ,x)  
                    if sum(combo) == target
            ]   
        )   

    print results

if __name__ == "__main__":
    find_sum_in_list([3,9,8,4,5,7,10], 15)

输出:[(8,7)，(5,10)，(3,8,4)，(3,5,7)]

Javascript版本:

function subsetSum(numbers, target, partial) { var s, n, remaining; partial = partial || []; // sum partial s = partial.reduce(function (a, b) { return a + b; }, 0); // check if the partial sum is equals to target if (s === target) { console.log("%s=%s", partial.join("+"), target) } if (s >= target) { return; // if we reach the number why bother to continue } for (var i = 0; i < numbers.length; i++) { n = numbers[i]; remaining = numbers.slice(i + 1); subsetSum(remaining, target, partial.concat([n])); } } subsetSum([3,9,8,4,5,7,10],15); // output: // 3+8+4=15 // 3+5+7=15 // 8+7=15 // 5+10=15

    {

            sum += x;

        //Check sum matched

            Console.WriteLine("sum(" + string.Join(",", listToSum.ToArray()) + ")=" + targetSum);

        //Check sum passed
        if (sum >= targetSum)
            return;

        //Iterate each input character
        for (int i = 0; i < remaining.Count; i++)
        {
            //Build list of remaining items to iterate
            List<int> newRemaining = new List<int>();
            for (int j = i + 1; j < remaining.Count; j++)
                newRemaining.Add(remaining[j]);

            //Update partial list
