Two Sum Problem

Explore three methods to solve the Two Sum Problem where you determine if two numbers in an array add up to a target. Understand the brute-force, hash table, and two-pointer techniques, comparing their time and space complexities to improve algorithmic efficiency.

In this lesson, we are going to be solving the “Two-Sum Problem”. Let’s begin by defining the problem. Given an array of integers, return True or False if the array has two numbers that add up to a specific target. You may assume that each input would have exactly one solution.

We investigate three different approaches to solving this problem.

Solution 1

A brute-force approach that takes O(n2)O(n^2) time to solve with O(1)O(1) ...
