Solution: Count Pairs Whose Sum is Less than Target

Explore how to count the number of distinct pairs in an integer array whose sums are less than a specified target. Learn to apply the two pointers method after sorting the array to achieve an efficient O(n log n) time solution. This lesson helps you understand step-by-step how to navigate and optimize pair counting problems using this fundamental pattern.

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 ...
