Problem: Two Sum Less Than K

Medium
30 min
Explore how to solve the Two Sum Less Than K problem by organizing data with sorting and applying two-pointer or binary search approaches. Understand how to find the maximum sum of two elements under a limit, practice coding this pattern, and handle edge cases effectively.

Statement

Given an array of integers, nums, and an integer k, find the maximum sum of two elements in nums less than k. Otherwise, return 1−1 if no such pair exists.

Constraints:

  • 11\leq nums.length 100\leq100

  • 11\leq nums[i] 103\leq 10^3

  • 11\leq k 103\leq 10^3
