30 HARD Challenge - Day 16: Python for Beginners: Leetcode Problem #16: 3SumClosest

🎉 Welcome to Day 16 of our Leetcode Coding Challenge Series! 🚀

In today's session, we tackle an intriguing coding problem: finding the three integers in an array whose sum is closest to a given target value. This problem requires us to apply our knowledge of arrays, sorting, and the two-pointer technique.

🔍 Problem Explanation:
Given an integer array nums of length n and an integer target, the task is to find three integers in nums such that the sum is closest to target. We're required to return the sum of the three integers.

This problem is similar to the classic Three Sum problem, but with a twist. Instead of finding the exact sum, we need to find the sum that is closest to the target. To solve this, we'll use a two-pointer approach after sorting the array, allowing us to efficiently explore all possible combinations.

Join us in today's session as we dive into the problem-solving process step by step, discussing strategies, writing code, and analyzing the time complexity of our solution.
