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).
Solution:
public class Solution { public int threeSumClosest(int[] num, int target) { Arrays.sort(num); int result=num[0]+num[1]+num[2]; for (int i = 0; i < num.length - 2; ++i) { int low=i+1; int high=num.length-1; while(low<high){ int sum = num[low]+num[high]+num[i]; if(Math.abs(result-target)>Math.abs(sum-target)){ result=sum; } if(sum<target) low++; if(sum>target) high--; if(sum==target){ return sum; } } } return result; } }
