[LeetCode] Combination Sum

Combination Sum

Given a set of candidate numbers (C) and a target number (T), find all unique combinations in C where the candidate numbers sums to T.

The same repeated number may be chosen from C unlimited number of times.

Note:

• All numbers (including target) will be positive integers.
• Elements in a combination (a1, a2, … , ak) must be in non-descending order. (ie, a1 ≤ a2 ≤ … ≤ ak).
• The solution set must not contain duplicate combinations.

For example, given candidate set 2,3,6,7 and target 7, 
A solution set is: 
[7] 
[2, 2, 3] 

Solution:

#include <iostream>
#include <vector>
#include <iomanip>
using namespace std;

vector<int* >* preRes;

vector<vector<int> > combinationSum(vector<int> &candidates, int target) {
        //bubble sort candidates
        for(int i = 0;i < candidates.size();i++)
        {
            bool continueBubble = false;

            for(int j = 0;j < candidates.size() - i - 1;j++)
            {
                if(candidates[j] > candidates[j + 1])
                {

                    candidates[j] = candidates[j + 1];
                    candidates[j + 1] = tmp;
                    continueBubble = true;
