leetcode腾讯精选练习50（10）——the closest sum of three numbers

Description of the question

给定一个包括 n 个整数的数组 nums 和 一个目标值 target。找出 nums 中的三个整数，使得它们的和与 target 最接近。返回这三个数的和。假定每组输入只存在唯一答案。

例如，给定数组 nums = [-1，2，1，-4], 和 target = 1.

与 target 最接近的三个数的和为 2. (-1 + 2 + 1 = 2).

Train of thought

Because some reasons I don’t know,I cannot type Chinese. This question is the high level statement of question yesterday. So, we use the same way. We just need to check the distance between the sum and the target.

Code

class Solution {
    public int threeSumClosest(int[] nums, int target) {
        Arrays.sort(nums);
        int ans = nums[0] + nums[1] + nums[2];
        for(int i=0;i<nums.length;i++) {
            int start = i+1, end = nums.length - 1;
            while(start < end) {
                int sum = nums[start] + nums[end] + nums[i];
                if(Math.abs(target - sum) < Math.abs(target - ans))
                    ans = sum;
                if(sum > target)
                    end--;
                else if(sum < target)
                    start++;
                else
                    return ans;
            }
        }
        return ans;
    }
}
