Two Sum

Asked atgoogleamazonmetaapplemicrosoft

01 · Problem

Given an array of integers nums and an integer target, return the 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.

02 · Examples

Example 01
Input
nums = [2,7,11,15], target = 9
Output
[0,1]

nums[0] + nums[1] = 2 + 7 = 9, so we return [0, 1].

Example 02
Input
nums = [3,2,4], target = 6
Output
[1,2]

nums[1] + nums[2] = 2 + 4 = 6, so we return [1, 2].

Example 03
Input
nums = [3,3], target = 6
Output
[0,1]

nums[0] + nums[1] = 3 + 3 = 6, so we return [0, 1].

03 · Constraints

  • 012 <= nums.length <= 104
  • 02-109 <= nums[i] <= 109
  • 03-109 <= target <= 109
  • 04Only one valid answer exists.

04 · Optimal complexity

Time
O(n)
Space

05 · Two ways to work on it

Practice it alone or rehearse it as an interview.

Practice Mode gives you an editor and test runs, nothing else. AI Interview Mode puts a voice interviewer on the other side, adds a clock, and ends with a scored summary of the round.
