"""
|
|
In the Combination Sum problem, we are given a list consisting of distinct integers.
|
|
We need to find all the combinations whose sum equals to target given.
|
|
We can use an element more than one.
|
|
|
|
Time complexity(Average Case): O(n!)

Constraints:
|
|
1 <= candidates.length <= 30
|
|
2 <= candidates[i] <= 40
|
|
All elements of candidates are distinct.
|
|
1 <= target <= 40

A recursive function that searches for possible combinations. Backtracks in case
