SUMFOUR - 4 values whose sum is 0
The SUM problem can be formulated as follows: given four lists A, B, C, D of integer values, compute how many quadruplet (a, b, c, d ) belongs to A x B x C x D are such that a + b + c + d = 0 . In the following, we assume that all lists have the same size n.
Input
The first line of the input file contains the size of the lists n (this value can be as large as 4000). We then have n lines containing four integer values (with absolute value as large as 228 ) that belong respectively to A, B, C and D.
(Edited: n <= 2500)
Output
Output should be printed on a single line.
Example
Input: 6 -45 22 42 -16 -41 -27 56 30 -36 53 -37 77 -36 30 -75 -46 26 -38 -10 62 -32 -54 -6 45 Output: 5

It can be solved using hashing. Instead of using STL try implementing your own hash map:) |

Since you have come to comments for help, use equal_range in c++ |

accepted in one submission , make lhs and rhs two array and then sort ,and search for each lhs the upper and lower bound in rhs..... |

holding the meet in the middle concept, first tried with unordered map but got TLE, then tried with two pointers and got AC |

Has anybody done this in java?

ABCDEF...a similar problem to this one...

Sadly, some datasets have nearly no zero-summing quadruplets, rendering a large assortment of possible optimizations useless. Most people commenting here seem to confuse optimization with not doing stupid stuff, and noone claiming to have done it in O(n^2) has runtime to prove it. I'm still bothered to find the efficient approach candide hinted to, but other than that the problem seems like a waste of time after getting the green bar. |

Just use equal range in place of unordered_map. Although the complexity was better using unordered_map but equal_range get AC whereas unordered_map gave TLE. |

tle for O(n*n) also,using unordered map
