🚀 Day 92 – #100DaysOfCode Qn. Combination Sum III Today I worked on the Combination Sum III problem using recursion and backtracking in Java. 🔹 Problem Summary: Find all possible combinations of k numbers that add up to n, using numbers 1–9 only once. 🔹 My Approach: Used recursion to explore all possible number combinations. Maintained a running sum and a temporary list. When the sum equals n and the list size equals k, the combination is added to the result. Used a HashSet to avoid duplicate combinations. 🔹 Key Learning: This problem helped me strengthen my understanding of: Backtracking Recursive decision trees Managing state during recursion (adding/removing elements) 📌 Next Goal: Optimize the solution further by avoiding the HashSet and pruning unnecessary recursive calls. #Day92 #LeetCode #DSA #Java #Recursion #Backtracking #CodingJourney
