题目
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).
分析
这道题比上一道3 sum更简单一点,原因是不用考虑重复的输出。
照例先排序,遍历,设置min为差值的绝对值的最小值。
对于每一个ai,在其后面的数组中用左右指针依次遍历。不断刷新最小值,并将和记为sum。
左右相加较大,则右指针左移,左右相加较小,则左指针右移。
public static int threeSumClosest(int[] nums, int target) {
Arrays.sort(nums);
int min = Integer.MAX_VALUE;
int result = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < nums.length - 2; i++) {
if (min == 0) {
break;
}
int sum = target - nums[i];
for (int lo = i + 1, hi = nums.length - 1; lo < hi; ) {
if (nums[lo] + nums[hi] > sum) {
if (nums[lo] + nums[hi] - sum < min) {
min = nums[lo] + nums[hi] - sum;
result = target+min;
}
hi--;
} else if (nums[lo] + nums[hi] < sum) {
if (sum - nums[lo] - nums[hi] < min) {
min = sum - nums[lo] - nums[hi];
result = target-min;
}
lo++;
} else {
min = 0;
result = target;
break;
}
}
}
return result;
}
