Combination Sum II

Given a collection of candidate numbers (C) and a target number (T), find all unique combinations in C where the candidate numbers sums to T.
Each number in C may only be used once in the combination.
Note:

  • All numbers (including target) will be positive integers.
  • Elements in a combination (a1, a2, … , ak) must be in non-descending order. (ie, a1a2 ≤ … ≤ ak).
  • The solution set must not contain duplicate combinations.
For example, given candidate set 10,1,2,7,6,1,5 and target 8,
A solution set is:
[1, 7]
[1, 2, 5]
[2, 6]
[1, 1, 6]

Reverse Words in a String

Given an input string, reverse the string word by word.
For example,
Given s = "the sky is blue",
return "blue is sky the".
Clarification:
  • What constitutes a word?
    A sequence of non-space characters constitutes a word.
  • Could the input string contain leading or trailing spaces?
    Yes. However, your reversed string should not contain leading or trailing spaces.
  • How about multiple spaces between two words?
    Reduce them to a single space in the reversed string.
