Find N Unique Integers Sum up to Zero
Given an integer n
, return any array containing n
unique integers such that they add up to 0
.
LeetCode Problem - 1304
class Solution {
// Method to generate an array of n integers with a sum of zero
public int[] sumZero(int n) {
// Creating an array to store the result
int[] result = new int[n];
// Setting the limit for positive and negative numbers
int limit = 1000;
// Calculating the number of symmetric elements
int symmetric = n / 2;
// Filling the first half of the array with positive integers decreasing from limit
int idx = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < symmetric; i++) {
result[idx] = limit;
limit--;
idx++;
}
// Resetting the limit for negative numbers
limit = 1000;
// Filling the second half of the array with negative integers increasing from -limit
for (int i = 0; i < symmetric; i++) {
result[idx] = (limit * (-1));
limit--;
idx++;
}
// Adding zero if n is odd
if (n % 2 != 0) {
result[n - 1] = 0;
}
// Returning the result array
return result;
}
