DIY: 3Sum Closest

Explore how to implement a function that finds the sum of three integers in an array closest to a given target. Understand constraints and develop problem-solving skills useful for coding interviews, focusing on optimizing your approach for real-world coding challenges.

Problem statement

You are given an integer array nums and an integer variable target as inputs. Your task is to find the three numbers in the given array that sum closest to the value target. You must return the sum of these three numbers.

Constraints

  • 3 <= nums.length <= 1000
  • -1000 <= nums[i] <= 1000
  • -
