Challenge Statement
- Given an array of integers, nums, and an integer target, target, return indices of the two numbers such that they add up to target.
- You may assume that each input would have exactly one solution, and you may not use the same element twice.
- You can return the answer in any order.
- This challenge corresponds to LeetCode #1.
Constraints
2 <= len(nums) <= 104
-109 <= nums[i] <= 109
-109 <= target <= 109
- Only one valid answer exists.
Example 1:
Input: nums = [2, 7, 11, 15]
, target = 9
Output: [0, 1]
Explanation: Because nums[0] + nums[1] == 9
, we return [0, 1]
.
Example 2:
Input: nums = [3, 2, 4]
, target = 6
Output: [1, 2]
Example 3:
Input: nums = [3, 3]
, target = 6
Output: [0, 1]
Solution
Below is my solution and some test cases. This solution has a linear time complexity O(n) and a linear space complexity O(n), where n is the length of the input list nums.
