Solution: Count Pairs Whose Sum is Less than Target

Explore how to count distinct pairs in an integer array whose sums are strictly less than a given target using the two-pointer method. Understand sorting's role, pointer movement, and achieve an efficient O(n log n) time complexity approach suitable for coding interviews.

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 ...
