3Sum Closest My Submissions Question
Total Accepted: 58639 Total Submissions: 212334 Difficulty: Medium
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).

在数组里寻找三个数，这三个数的和最接近target，返回这三个数的和，如果等于的话就返回target。
思路：先排序，固定一个数，然后夹逼寻找最接近target的数字和。

class Solution {
public:
    int threeSumClosest(vector<int>& nums, int target) {
        int len = nums.size();
        if(len < 3) return -1;
        sort(nums.begin(),nums.end());
        int first = 0;
        int next = 1;
        int last = len - 1;
        int res = nums[first] + nums[next] + nums[last];
        int curSum;
        while(first <= len - 3){
            next = first + 1;
            last = len - 1;
            while(next <= last - 1){
                curSum = nums[first] + nums[next] + nums[last];
                if(abs(curSum - target) < abs(res - target)){
                    res = curSum;
                }
                if(curSum < target) ++ next;
                else if(curSum > target) -- last;
                else return target;
            }
            ++ first;
        }
        return res;
    }
};
