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).
跟3SUM一样的想法,排序数组,先选一个数出来,再用target减去这个数,然后用找和为给定值的算法找最小差值,时间复杂度为O(n^2) , 要比枚举所有情况的O(n^3)来的快!
