Problem

Given an array of integers, return indices of the two numbers such that they add up to a specific target.

You may assume that each input would have exactly one solution, and you may not use the same element twice.

Example

Given nums = [2, 7, 11, 15], target = 9,

Because nums[0] + nums[1] = 2 + 7 = 9,
return [0, 1].

My Solution

public class Solution {
    public int[] twoSum(int[] nums, int target) {
        
        int[] index = new int[2];
        
        for (int i = 0; i < nums.length; i++) {
            for (int j = i + 1; j < nums.length; j++) {
                if (nums[i] + nums[j] == target) {
                    index[0] = i;
                    index[1] = j;
                    return index;
                }
            }
        }
        
        return index;
    }
}

Great Solution

public int[] twoSum(int[] numbers, int target) {
    int[] result = new int[2];
    Map<Integer, Integer> map = new HashMap<Integer, Integer>();
    for (int i = 0; i < numbers.length; i++) {
        if (map.containsKey(target - numbers[i])) {
            result[1] = i + 1;
            result[0] = map.get(target - numbers[i]);
            return result;
        }
        map.put(numbers[i], i + 1);
    }
    return result;
}
