Problem: Count Pairs in Two Arrays

Medium
30 min
Explore how to count index pairs in two arrays where the sum of elements from the first array is greater than the second. Understand the problem constraints, apply sorting and searching strategies, and practice implementing an efficient solution to strengthen your coding interview skills.

Statement

You are given two positive integer arrays, nums1 and nums2, both of length nn. Your task is to count and return the number of pairs of indexes (i,j)(i, j) where:

  • i<ji < j , and

  • nums1[i]+nums1[j]>nums2[i]+nums2[j]\text{nums1}[i] + \text{nums1}[j] > \text{nums2}[i] + \text{nums2}[j]

In simpler terms, the sum of two elements from nums1 must be greater than that of the corresponding elements from nums2.

Constraints:

  • n=n = nums1.length == nums2.length

  • 1n1031 \leq n \leq 10^3

  • 11 \leq nums1[i], nums2[i] 104\leq 10^4
