Solution: Count Pairs Whose Sum is Less than Target

Understand how to apply the two-pointer approach to efficiently count pairs in a sorted array with sums less than a target. This lesson teaches sorting the array, using two pointers to evaluate pairs, and optimizing time and space complexity 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:

  • 0i<j<n0 \leq i < j < n (i.e., ii comes before jj ...
