* Work on this 3 sum close algorithm
*
* Given an array S of n integers, are there elements a, b, c in S
* such that a + b + c = 0? Find all unique triplets in the array
* which gives the sum of zero.
Note:
Elements in a triplet (a,b,c) must be in non-descending order. (ie, a ≤ b ≤ c)
The solution set must not contain duplicate triplets.
*
For example, given array S = {-1 0 1 2 -1 -4},
A solution set is:
(-1, 0, 1)
(-1, -1, 2)
*
* C# Array - get sum of array element
