Question:

Given an array S of n integers, are there elements a , b , c in S such that a + b + c = 0? Find all unique triplets in the array which gives the sum of zero.

Note:

Elements in a triplet ( a , b , c ) must be in non-descending order. (ie, a ? b ? c )

The solution set must not contain duplicate triplets.

    For example, given array S = {-1 0 1 2 -1 -4},

    A solution set is:
    (-1, 0, 1)
    (-1, -1, 2)
