Java > Recursion-2 > groupSum5 (CodingBat Solution)

Problem:

Given an array of ints, is it possible to choose a group of some of the ints, such that the group sums to the given target with these additional constraints: all multiples of 5 in the array must be included in the group. If the value immediately following a multiple of 5 is 1, it must not be chosen. (No loops needed.)

groupSum5(0, {2, 5, 10, 4}, 19) → true
groupSum5(0, {2, 5, 10, 4}, 17) → true
groupSum5(0, {2, 5, 10, 4}, 12) → false


Solution:

public boolean groupSum5(int start, int[] nums, int target) {
  if (start >= nums.length) return (target == 0);
  if (groupSum5(start+1, nums, target-nums[start]) && checkOne(start, nums))
    return true;
  if (nums[start] % 5 != 0 && groupSum5(start+1, nums, target)) return true;
  return false;
}

private boolean checkOne(int start, int[] nums) {
  if (start == 0) return true;
  if (start > 0 && nums[start-1] % 5 == 0 && nums[start] == 1)
    return false;
  else
    return true;
}
