Question: An Array of integers is given, both +ve and -ve. You need to find the two elements such that their sum is closest to zero.
For the below array, program should print -80 and 85.

METHOD 1 (Simple) 
For each element, find the sum of it with every other element in the array and compare sums. Finally, return the minimum sum.

Implementation:

C++




// C++ code to find Two elements
// whose sum is closest to zero
# include <bits/stdc++.h>
# include <stdlib.h> /* for abs() */
# include <math.h>
 
using namespace std;
void minAbsSumPair(int arr[], int arr_size)
{
    int inv_count = 0;
    int l, r, min_sum, sum, min_l, min_r;
     
    /* Array should have at least
       two elements*/
    if(arr_size < 2)
    {
        cout << "Invalid Input";
        return;
    }
     
    /* Initialization of values */
    min_l = 0;
    min_r = 1;
    min_sum = arr[0] + arr[1];
     
    for(l = 0; l < arr_size - 1; l++)
    {
        for(r = l + 1; r < arr_size; r++)
        {
        sum = arr[l] + arr[r];
        if(abs(min_sum) > abs(sum))
          {
              min_sum = sum;
              min_l = l;
              min_r = r;
          }
        }
    }
    cout << "The two elements whose sum is minimum are "
         << arr[min_l] << " and " << arr[min_r];
}
 
// Driver Code
int main()
{
    int arr[] = {1, 60, -10, 70, -80, 85};
    minAbsSumPair(arr, 6);
    return 0;
}

Output: 

The two elements whose sum is minimum are -80 and 85

Time complexity: O(n2)

Auxiliary Space: O(1)

METHOD 2 (Use Sorting):

Algorithm :

  1. Sort all the elements of the input array. 
  2. Use two index variables l and r to traverse from left and right ends respectively. Initialize l as 0 and r as n-1. 
  3. sum = a[l] + a[r] 
  4. If sum is -ve, then l++ 
  5. If sum is +ve, then r– 
  6. Keep track of abs min sum. 
  7. Repeat steps 3, 4, 5 and 6 while l < r

Output: 

The two elements whose sum is minimum are -80 and 85

Time Complexity: complexity to sort + complexity of finding the optimum pair = O(nlogn) + O(n) = O(nlogn)

Auxiliary Space: O(1)

STL implementation of Method-2:

Algorithm 
1) Sort all the elements of the input array using their absolute values. 
2) Check absolute sum of arr[i-1] and arr[i] if their absolute sum is less than min update min with their absolute value. 
3) Use two variables to store the index of the elements.

Implementation:

C++




// C++ implementation using STL
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Modified to sort by absolute values
bool compare(int x, int y)
{
    return abs(x) < abs(y);

            // if found an even close value
            // update min and store the index
            min = abs(arr[i - 1] + arr[i]);
            x = i - 1;
            y = i;
