22. Three Sum Closest
Easy Accuracy: 23.97% Submissions: 5680 Points: 2
Given an array Arr of N numbers and another number target, find three integers in the array such that the sum is closest to target. Return the sum of the three integers.
Example 1:
Input:
N = 6, target = 2
A[] = {-7,9,8,3,1,1}
Output: 2
Explanation: There is one triplet with sum
2 in the array. Triplet elements are -7,8,
1 whose sum is 2.
Example 2:
Input:
N = 4, target = 13
A[] = {5,2,7,5}
Output: 14
Explanation: There is one triplet with sum
12 and other with sum 14 in the array.
Triplet elements are 5, 2, 5 and 2, 7, 5
respectively. Since abs(13-12) ==
abs(13-14) maximum triplet sum will be
preferred i.e 14.
Your Task:
Complete threeSumClosest() function and return the expected answer.
NOTE: If their exists more than one answer then return the maximum sum.
Expected Time Complexity: O(N*N).
Expected Auxiliary Space: O(1).
Constraints:
1 ≤ N ≤ 103
-105 ≤ A[i] ≤ 105
1 ≤ target ≤ 105
