Solution: Count Pairs Whose Sum is Less than Target

Explore how to efficiently count distinct index pairs in an integer array whose sums are less than a given target. This lesson guides you through sorting the array and applying a two-pointer approach to identify valid pairs, including managing pointer traversal and evaluating sums for optimal performance. You'll understand how this method reduces complexity and saves computation during pair counting.

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:

  • 0 ...
