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).
class Solution
{
public:
int threeSumClosest(vector<int>& nums, int target) {
int sum = 0;
if (nums.size() <= 3) {
for (int j = 0; j < nums.size(); ++j)
sum += nums[j];
return sum;
}
int i, len = nums.size();
int closest = 10000;
sort(nums.begin(), nums.end());
for (i = 0; i < len-2; i++) {
int m = nums.size() - 1;
int n = i + 1;
while (n < m) {
sum = nums[i] + nums[n] + nums[m];
if (abs(target - closest)>abs(target - sum)) {
closest = sum;
if (sum > target)
m--;
else if (sum < target)
n++;
else if (sum == target)
return sum;
}
else if (sum > target)
m--;
else if (sum < target)
n++;
else if (sum == target)
return sum;
}
}
return closest;
