Solution: Two Sum III - Data structure design
Explore how to design a TwoSum class that supports adding numbers and quickly checking if any pair sums to a target value. Understand using a hash map to track frequencies, enabling efficient lookups and handling duplicates. Learn the methods add and find, and analyze the time and space complexity of this approach for scalable solutions.
We'll cover the following...
Statement
Design a data structure that takes in a stream of numbers and can check if any two numbers add up to a specific value.
Implement the TwoSum class with the following constructor and methods:
Constructor: Sets up the
TwoSumobject with an empty list at the start.void add(int number): Adds a new number to the list.
boolean find(int value): Returns TRUE if any two numbers in the list add up to the given value. If not, it returns FALSE.
Constraints: ...
