LeetCode 16. 3Sum Closest

3Sum Closest

---

题目描述:

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).

题目大意:

给定一个数组nums和一个数字target。找出nums中三个数字的和最接近target的情况，并且返回这三个数字的和。
固定第一个数字，用两个指针一个从前面开始往后遍历，另一个从后面开始从前面开始遍历。
如果恰好有3个数的和等于target那么直接返回taeget结束操作即可。否则一只到遍历完成找出最接近target的结果。

题目代码:

class Solution {
public:
    int threeSumClosest(vector<int>& nums, int target) {
        sort(nums.begin(), nums.end());
        int l, r; long ans = INT_MAX;
        for(int i = 0; i < nums.size(); i++){
            l = i+1; r = nums.size()-1;
            
            while(l < r){
                int sum = nums[i] + nums[l] + nums[r];
                if(sum == target){
                    return target;
                }else if(sum < target){
                    l++;
                }else{
                    r--;
                }
                if(abs(ans - target) > abs(target-sum))
                    ans = sum;
            }     
        }
        return (int)ans;
    }
};
