Solution: Count Pairs Whose Sum is Less than Target

Explore how to efficiently count distinct pairs in an integer array whose sums are less than a given target by applying the two-pointer approach. Understand how sorting the array and moving pointers can reduce complexity, allowing you to solve the problem with O(n log n) time and O(n) space. This lesson helps you implement a structured method to handle sum-based pair counting by leveraging order and traversal techniques.

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 ...
