Three sum from array

Write a program to give three sums from the array.

Algorithm Explanation

	Pass an array and sum to the utility function.
	Use Hashmap to add the sum and index, array to increment index. Return the array of elements which give the sum equal to the sum of elements.
	Print the return array.

        System.out.println("Sum of two items '0' : "+ res.toString());
    }
 
}

Output

List of items form array: [-1, 0, 1, 2, -1, -4]
Sum of two items '0' : [[-1, -1, 2], [-1, 0, 1]]
