Leetcode Problem 2035. Partition Array Into Two Arrays to Minimize Sum Difference

2035. Partition Array Into Two Arrays to Minimize Sum Difference

Leetcode Solutions

Meet in the Middle Approach

  1. Divide the array into two halves.
  2. Generate all possible sums for each half and store them along with the number of elements used to form the sum.
  3. Sort the list of sums for the second half to enable binary search.
  4. Iterate over the sums of the first half.
  5. For each sum in the first half, calculate the required sum to reach half of the total sum.
  6. Perform a binary search in the second half's sums to find the closest sum to the required sum.
  7. Calculate the potential answer as the total sum minus twice the sum of the combined sums from both halves.
  8. Keep track of the minimum absolute difference encountered.
  9. Return the minimum absolute difference after considering all possibilities.
