Day 6 of 100 Days LeetCode Challenge

LeetCode Challenge #1. Two Sum

Given an array of integers nums and an integer target, return indices of the two numbers such that they add up to target.

You may assume that each input would have exactly one solution, and you may not use the same element twice.

You can return the answer in any order.

 

Example 1:

Input: nums = [2,7,11,15], target = 9
Output: [0,1]
Explanation: Because nums[0] + nums[1] == 9, we return [0, 1].

Example 2:

Input: nums = [3,2,4], target = 6
Output: [1,2]

Example 3:

Input: nums = [3,3], target = 6
Output: [0,1]

 

Constraints:

  • 2 <= nums.length <= 104
  • -109 <= nums[i] <= 109
  • -109 <= target <= 109
  • Only one valid answer exists.

Java Solution
				
					class Solution {
    public int[] twoSum(int[] nums, int target) {
        int[] ans = new int[2];

        for(int i=0;i<nums.length;i++){
            for(int j = i+1;j<nums.length;j++){
                if(nums[i]+nums[j]==target){
                    ans[0]=i;
                    ans[1]=j;
                }
            }
        }
          return ans ;
    }
}

                    # Return the indices of the complement and the current number
                    return [complement_map[complement], i]
            
            # If complement not found, store the number and its index
            complement_map[num] = i
