Count Pairs Whose Sum is Less than Target

Explore how to identify distinct pairs in an integer array whose sums are strictly less than a given target by applying the two pointers approach. This lesson helps you understand problem constraints, logical reasoning, and implement efficient linear-time solutions that optimize performance for coding interviews.

Statement

You are given a 0-indexed integer array, nums, of length nn, and an integer target. Your task is to determine the number of distinct pairs of indexes (i,j)(i, j) such that:

  • 0i<j<n0 \leq i < j < n ...
