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).
class Solution { public: int threeSumClosest(vector<int> &num, int target) { sort(num.begin(), num.end()); int min =100000, distance = 1000000; for(size_t i = 0; i < num.size(); i++) { int j = i+1; int k = num.size() - 1; while(j < k) { if(num[i] + num[j] + num[k] < target) { if(abs(num[i] + num[j] + num[k] - target) < distance) { min = num[i] + num[j] + num[k]; distance = abs(min - target); } j++; } else if(num[i] + num[j] + num[k] > target) { if(abs(num[i] + num[j] + num[k] - target) < distance) { min = num[i] + num[j] + num[k]; distance = abs(min - target); } k--; } else { return target; } } } return min; } };
