Find all distinct subset (or subsequence) sums of an array

Given a set of integers, find distinct sum that can be generated from the subsets of the given sets and print them in an increasing order. It is given that sum of array elements is small.

Examples:

Input  : arr[] = {1, 2, 3}
Output : 0 1 2 3 4 5 6
Distinct subsets of given set are
{}, {1}, {2}, {3}, {1,2}, {2,3}, 
{1,3} and {1,2,3}.  Sums of these
subsets are 0, 1, 2, 3, 3, 5, 4, 6
After removing duplicates, we get
0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6  

Input : arr[] = {2, 3, 4, 5, 6}
Output : 0 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 
         13 14 15 16 17 18 20

Input : arr[] = {20, 30, 50}
Output : 0 20 30 50 70 80 100

Recommended: Please solve it on “PRACTICE ” first, before moving on to the solution.

The naive solution for this problem is to generate all the subsets, store their sums in a hash set and finally print all keys from hash set.

C++

// C++ program to print distinct subset sums of 
// a given array. 
#include<bits/stdc++.h> 
using namespace std; 
  
// sum denotes the current sum of the subset 
// currindex denotes the index we have reached in 
// the given array 
void distSumRec(int arr[], int n, int sum, 
                int currindex, unordered_set<int> &s) 
{ 
    if (currindex > n) 
        return; 
  
    if (currindex == n) 
    { 
        s.insert(sum); 
        return; 
    } 
  
    distSumRec(arr, n, sum + arr[currindex], 
                            currindex+1, s); 
    distSumRec(arr, n, sum, currindex+1, s); 
} 
  
// This function mainly calls recursive function 
// distSumRec() to generate distinct sum subsets. 
// And finally prints the generated subsets. 
void printDistSum(int arr[], int n) 
{ 
    unordered_set<int> s; 
    distSumRec(arr, n, 0, 0, s); 
  
    // Print the result 
    for (auto i=s.begin(); i!=s.end(); i++) 
        cout << *i << " "; 
} 
  
// Driver code 
int main() 
{ 
    int arr[] = {2, 3, 4, 5, 6}; 
    int n = sizeof(arr)/sizeof(arr[0]); 
    printDistSum(arr, n); 
    return 0; 
}

Time complexity of the above naive recursive approach is O(2ⁿ).

Time complexity of the above problem can be improved using Dynamic Programming, especially when sum of given elements is small. We can make a dp table with rows containing the size of the array and size of the column will be sum of all the elements in the array.

{ 
    int sum = 0; 
    for (int i=0; i<n; i++) 
        sum += arr[i]; 
  
    // dp[i][j] would be true if arr[0..i-1] has 
    // a subset with sum equal to j. 
    bool dp[n+1][sum+1]; 
    memset(dp, 0, sizeof(dp)); 
  
    // There is always a subset with 0 sum 
    for (int i=0; i<=n; i++) 
        dp[i][0] = true; 
  
    // Fill dp[][] in bottom up manner 
    for (int i=1; i<=n; i++) 
    { 
        dp[i][arr[i-1]] = true; 
        for (int j=1; j<=sum; j++) 
        { 
            // Sums that were achievable 
            // without current array element 
            if (dp[i-1][j] == true) 
            { 
                dp[i][j] = true; 
                dp[i][j + arr[i-1]] = true; 
            } 
        } 
    }
