Perfect Sum Problem

Difficulty Level : Medium
Last Updated : 21 Dec, 2021

Given an array arr[] of integers and an integer K, the task is to print all subsets of the given array with the sum equal to the given target K.
Examples:

Input: arr[] = {5, 10, 12, 13, 15, 18}, K = 30
Output: {12, 18}, {5, 12, 13}, {5, 10, 15}
Explanation: 
Subsets with sum 30 are:
12 + 18 = 30
5 + 12 + 13 = 30
5 + 10 + 15 = 30

Input: arr[] = {1, 2, 3, 4}, K = 5
Output: {2, 3}, {1, 4}

Approach: The idea is to find out all the subsets using the Power Set concept. For every set, check if the sum of the set is equal to K or not. If it is equal, then the set is printed.
Below is the implementation of the above approach:

C++

// C++ implementation of the above approach
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
 
using namespace std;
 
// Function to print the subsets whose
// sum is equal to the given target K
void sumSubsets(vector<int> set, int n, int target)
{
    // Create the new array with size
    // equal to array set[] to create
    // binary array as per n(decimal number)
    int x[set.size()];
    int j = set.size() - 1;
 
    // Convert the array into binary array
    while (n > 0)
    {
        x[j] = n % 2;
        n = n / 2;
        j--;
    }
 
    int sum = 0;
 
    // Calculate the sum of this subset
    for (int i = 0; i < set.size(); i++)
        if (x[i] == 1)
            sum = sum + set[i];
 
    // Check whether sum is equal to target
    // if it is equal, then print the subset
    if (sum == target)
    {
        cout<<("{");
        for (int i = 0; i < set.size(); i++)
            if (x[i] == 1)
                cout << set[i] << ", ";
        cout << ("}, ");
    }
}
 
// Function to find the subsets with sum K
void findSubsets(vector<int> arr, int K)
{
    // Calculate the total no. of subsets
    int x = pow(2, arr.size());
 
    // Run loop till total no. of subsets
    // and call the function for each subset
    for (int i = 1; i < x; i++)
        sumSubsets(arr, i, K);
}
 
// Driver code
int main()
{
    vector<int> arr = { 5, 10, 12, 13, 15, 18 };
    int K = 30;
    findSubsets(arr, K);
    return 0;
}
