【leetcode】16. 最接近的三数之和

三重循环

class Solution(object):
    def threeSumClosest(self, nums, target):
        """
        :type nums: List[int]
        :type target: int
        :rtype: int
        """
        length = len(nums)
        minsum = float("inf")
        p1 = 0
        while p1 < length:
            p2 = p1 + 1
            while p2 < length:
                p3 = p2 + 1
                while p3 < length:
                    if abs(minsum) > abs(target - (nums[p1] + nums[p2] + nums[p3])):
                        minsum = target - (nums[p1] + nums[p2] + nums[p3])
                        best = nums[p1] + nums[p2] + nums[p3]
                    p3 += 1
                p2 += 1
            p1 += 1
        return best

排序+双指针

判断重复

                continue
            L = i + 1
            R = length - 1
            while L < R:

                if minsum > abs(sum):

                else:

总结

1、思路同15题，但是由于只需输出最接近target的元素和，所以可以不进行重复数组判断。
2、暴力破解的三重循环，不出所料依旧超时。
3、python中的无穷大表示方法num = float(“inf”)。
