题目链接：https://leetcode.com/problems/3sum-closest/

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).

	int *tmp = (int *)malloc(n * sizeof(int));
	int lBegin, lEnd, rBegin, rEnd;
	int i,j,k;
	int len = 1;
	while (len < n) {
		lBegin = 0;
		lEnd = len - 1;
		rBegin = len;
		while (rBegin < n) {
			rEnd = lEnd + len < n - 1 ? lEnd + len : n - 1;
			i = lBegin,j = rBegin,k = lBegin;
			while (i <= lEnd && j <= rEnd) {
				if (data[i] <= data[j])
					tmp[k++] = data[i++];
				else
					tmp[k++] = data[j++];
			}

				tmp[k++] = data[i++];
			while (j <= rEnd)
				tmp[k++] = data[j++];
			for (i = lBegin; i <= rEnd; ++i)
				data[i] = tmp[i];
			lBegin += 2 * len;
			lEnd += 2 * len;
			rBegin += 2 * len;
		}
		len *= 2;
	}
	free(tmp);
