《LeetBook》leetcode题解(16):3Sum Closest [M]

16. 3Sum Closest [M]

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).

思路

这个问题等于是3SUM又升级了,因为这里现在是最接近的结果,所以Hashmap的思路基本没用了,因为必须得要循环找到所有可能。当然,这个题目有个限制就是只有唯一的结果,所以,如果发现完全相等的,也就可以停下来了。

但是解题思路还是可以参考3SUM,算法基本一样,有些地方需要修改一下。首先,因为是找最接近的,所以要考虑所有情况,left循环到length-2

    for (int left = 0; left < nums.length-2; left++)

然后还是mid和right分别从两端往*扫描,如果mid+right还比较小,那就需要mid右移,反之right左移(每次如果有最小的就存下来)

我们可以写出如下的代码:

 mid = left+1; right = nums.length-1;
while(mid < right)
{
int tmp = target-nums[left];
if(abs(tmp - nums[mid] + nums[right]) < abs(target-Min))
Min = nums[left] + nums[mid] + nums[right]);
if(nums[mid] + nums[right] == tmp)
return Min;
else if(nums[mid] + nums[right] < tmp)
mid++;
else
right--;
}

代码

public class Solution {
public int threeSumClosest(int[] nums, int target) {
Arrays.sort(nums);
int mid,right;
if(nums.length < 3)
return 0;
int Min = nums[0]+nums[1]+nums[2];
//left要循环全部
for (int left = 0; left < nums.length-2; left++) {
mid = left+1; right = nums.length-1;
int tmp = target-nums[left];
while(mid < right)
{
if(Math.abs(tmp - nums[mid] - nums[right]) <Math.abs(target - Min)) //每次查看是不是最小的情况
Min = nums[left]+ nums[mid] + nums[right];
if(nums[mid] + nums[right] == tmp)
{
return target; //因为只有一种答案所以可以直接返回
}
else if(nums[mid] + nums[right] < tmp)
mid++;
else
right--;
}
}
return Min;
}
}
