【LeetCode】16. 3Sum Closest

3Sum Closest

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).

 

第一重循环先确定第一个数字，

然后第二重循环用双指针分别从两端遍历，使得三个数的和不断接近target。

若三个数的和等于target，则可以立即返回。

时间复杂度：O(n²)
