leetCode---3Sum Closest

一. 题目：3Sum Closest

Given an array S of n integers, find three integers inS such that the sum is closest to a given number, target. Return the sum of the three integers. You may assume that each input would have exactly one solution.

    For example, given array S = {-1 2 1 -4}, and target = 1.

    The sum that is closest to the target is 2. (-1 + 2 + 1 = 2).

二. 思路分析

       这道题让我们求最接近给定值的三数之和，跟之前那道 3SUM解题思路差不多，那么这道题让我们返回这个最接近于给定值的值，即我们要保证当前三数和跟给定值之间的差的绝对值最小，所以我们需要定义一个变量diff用来记录差的绝对值，然后我们还是要先将数组排个序，然后开始遍历数组，思路跟那道三数之和很相似，都是先确定一个数，然后用两个指针left和right来滑动寻找另外两个数，每确定两个数，我们求出此三数之和，然后算和给定值的差的绝对值存在newDiff中，然后和diff比较并更新diff和结果closest即可，代码如下：

class Solution {
public:
    int threeSumClosest(vector<int>& nums, int target) {
        int closest = nums[0] + nums[1] + nums[2];
        int diff = abs(closest - target);
        sort(nums.begin(), nums.end());
        for (int i = 0; i < nums.size() - 2; ++i) {
            int left = i + 1, right = nums.size() - 1;
            while (left < right) {
                int sum = nums[i] + nums[left] + nums[right];
                int newDiff = abs(sum - target);
                if (diff > newDiff) {
                    diff = newDiff;
                    closest = sum;
                }
                if (sum < target) ++left;
                else --right;
            }
        }
        return closest;
    }
};
