Closest Sum Problem Statement
Given an array of integers ARR
of size N
and an integer target
, find three integers in ARR
such that their sum is closest to the target
. If there are two closest sums, return the smallest sum.
Input:
The first line contains an integer 'T' denoting the number of test cases.
For each test case:
- The first line contains an integer 'N', the size of the array.
- The second line contains 'N' space-separated integers representing the array.
- The third line contains an integer, the target.
Output:
For each test case, output the sum of the triplet that is closest to the target on a new line.
Example:
Input:
ARR = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5], target = 10
Output:
9
Constraints:
- 1 <= T <= 10
- 3 <= N <= 100
- -105 <= ARR[i] <= 105
- -3 * 105 <= target <= 3 * 105
Note:
You are not required to print anything; just implement the function as directed.
