Find K-th Smallest Pair Distance

Explore methods to determine the k-th smallest pair distance in an integer array by applying sorting and search strategies such as binary search and two pointers. Understand problem constraints and learn to implement efficient solutions useful for coding interviews.

Statement

Given an array of integers nums and an integer k, return the kthk^{th} smallest distance between any pair of integers (nums[i], nums[j]), where 00 \leq i << j << num.length.

The distance between a pair of integers, aa and ...
