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).
题意:给定值target,在数列中找到三个数,它们的和最接近这个target。
思路:类似于Two sum、3sum还有本题,都可以先排序后,用夹逼法则:使用两个指针,从前向后,从后向前的遍历,找到符合条件的情况。为什么要使用这种方法了?针对本题,若是固定一个,然后再固定一个,通过移动最后一个指针,找到最小的差,然后,在重新将第二个指针移动一个位置,低三个指针,再重新遍历,这样耗时严重。利用好,已将数组排序这一条件,固定一个数,剩下的两个数分别从头和尾向中间遍历,若是三者的和大于target,则尾指针向左移动,减小对应的值,否则前指针右移增大对应的值,从而增大三者和。与此同时,更新和target最小的差和对应的sum。代码如下:
1 class Solution { 2 public: 3 int threeSumClosest(vector<int> &num, int target) 4 { 5 int sum=num[0]+num[1]+num[2]; 6 int diff=abs(sum-target); 7 sort(num.begin(),num.end()); 8 9 for(int i=0;i<num.size();++i) 10 { 11 int l=i+1,r=num.size()-1; 12 while(l<r) 13 { 14 int temp=num[i]+num[l]+num[r]; 15 int newDiff=abs(temp-target); 16 17 if(diff>newDiff) 18 { 19 diff=newDiff; 20 sum=temp; 21 } 22 if(temp>target) 23 r--; 24 else 25 l++; 26 } 27 } 28 return sum; 29 } 30 };
