Leetcode刷题记——16. 3Sum Closest(最接近的三个数的和)

一、题目叙述：

iven 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).

二、解题思路：

这题我看了别人的答案。。。目的是求最接近给定值的三个数的和。

（1）给数组排序

（2）第一个数循环，设置指针，分别在数组的前面和后面，计算和。比给定值大，high指针前移；小，low指针后移。每次比较差距，更新最近距离的值。

***遇到此类给定一串数之类的问题，考虑排序与设置前后指针。

三、源码：

import java.util.Arrays;

public class Solution 
{
    public int threeSumClosest(int[] nums, int target)
    {
    	if (nums.length < 3) return Integer.MAX_VALUE;
    	int closet = nums[0] + nums[1] + nums[2];
    	Arrays.sort(nums);
        for (int i = 0; i < nums.length - 2; i++)
        {
        	int low = i + 1;
    		int high = nums.length - 1;
        	while (low < high)
        	{
        		
        		int sum = nums[i] + nums[low] + nums[high];
        		if (Math.abs(sum - target) < Math.abs(closet - target)) closet = sum;
        		if (sum > target) high--;
        		else if (sum < target) low++;
        		else return target;
        		
        		
        	}
        }
        return closet;
    }
    public static void main(String args[])
    {
    	int[] s = {-1,2,1,-4};
    	Solution solution = new Solution();
    	System.out.println(solution.threeSumClosest(s, 2));
    }
    
}
