0040. Combination Sum II

https://leetcode.com/problems/combination-sum-ii

Description

Given a collection of candidate numbers (candidates) and a target number (target), find all unique combinations in candidates where the candidate numbers sum to target.

Each number in candidates may only be used once in the combination.

Note: The solution set must not contain duplicate combinations.

Example 1:

**Input:** candidates = [10,1,2,7,6,1,5], target = 8
**Output:** 
[
[1,1,6],
[1,2,5],
[1,7],
[2,6]
]

Example 2:

**Input:** candidates = [2,5,2,1,2], target = 5
**Output:** 
[
[1,2,2],
[5]
]

Constraints:

• 1 <= candidates.length <= 100

• 1 <= candidates[i] <= 50

• 1 <= target <= 30

            return;
        }

        for (int i = start; i < candidates.length; i++) {
