Solution: Count Pairs Whose Sum is Less than Target

Explore how to efficiently count the number of distinct pairs in an integer array whose sums are less than a given target. This lesson teaches the two pointer technique combined with sorting to solve the problem with a clear step-by-step approach. You will understand the process of moving pointers strategically to avoid redundant checks and improve time complexity to O(n log n).

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 ...
