Given an array S of n integers, are there elements * a, b, c, and d in S such that a + b + c + d = target? Find all unique quadruplets in the array * which gives the sum of target. * *
Note: The solution set must not contain duplicate quadruplets. * *
For example, given array S = [1, 0, -1, 0, -2, 2], and target = 0. * *
A solution set is: [ [-1, 0, 0, 1], [-2, -1, 1, 2], [-2, 0, 0, 2] ]
