// Question-

/* Suppose we have an array of numbers. It stores n integers, there are four elements a, b, c and d in the array. We have another target value, such that a  +  b  +  c  +  d = target. Find all the unique quadruplets in the array which satisfies the situation. So if the array is like [-1,0,1,2,0,-2] and target is 0, then the result will be [[-1, 0, 0, 1],[-2, -1, 1, 2], [-2, 0, 0, 2]]
 Input-
 [1,0,-1,0,-2,2]
 0
 Output
[[1,2,-1,-2],[0,2,0,-2],[0,1,0,-1]]   */
