easy
15 min
Explore how to identify the maximum sum of two elements in an array that is less than a given value k. Learn to apply sorting and two-pointer methods effectively to solve this common coding problem, enhancing your problem-solving skills for interview scenarios.

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
