Given an array S of n integers, find three integers in S 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).
先对数组排个序。枚举第一个数,然后设两个指针,在第一个数的后半段开始王中间收缩,if sum > target则右指针往左移, if sum < target则左指针往右移。
排序O(nlogn) + 查找O(n^2) = O(n^2)
class Solution {
public:
int threeSumClosest(vector<int> &num, int target) {
// Start typing your C/C++ solution below
// DO NOT write int main() function
sort(num.begin(), num.end());
int ret;
bool first = true;
for(int i = 0; i < num.size(); i++)
{
int j = i + 1;
int k = num.size() - 1;
while(j < k)
{
int sum = num[i] + num[j] + num[k];
if (first)
{
ret = sum;
first = false;
}
else
{
if (abs(sum - target) < abs(ret - target))
ret = sum;
}
if (ret == target)
return ret;
if (sum > target)
k--;
else
j++;
}
}
return ret;
}
};
