解题思路
Step1：先对数组排序，然后设置3个指针，指针1遍历范围为（0~数组长度减2）。
Step2：指针1位置确定时，指针1后面的数组元素首位各放置一个指针（指针2、指针3）。
Step3：如果三数之和=target，则返回target值；如果三数之和<target，则将指针2往后移动，如果三数之和>target，则将指针3往前移动。
Step4：当指针2和指针3重合时，则将指针1往后移动。
Step5：重复 Step2 到 Step4。直到指针1遍历完。

16. 最接近的三数之和
给你一个长度为 n 的整数数组 nums 和 一个目标值 target。请你从 nums 中选出三个整数，使它们的和与 target 最接近。
返回这三个数的和。
假定每组输入只存在恰好一个解。
示例 1：
输入：nums = [-1,2,1,-4], target = 1 输出：2 解释：与 target 最接近的和是 2 (-1 + 2 + 1 = 2) 。
示例 2：
输入：nums = [0,0,0], target = 1 输出：0
提示：
3 <= nums.length <= 1000-1000 <= nums[i] <= 1000-10^4 <= target <= 10^4
