Find a pair of elements from an array whose sum equals a given number

Question

Given array of n integers and given a number X, find all the unique pairs of elements (a,b), whose summation is equal to X.

The following is my solution, it is O(nLo

Javascript solution:

var sample_input = [0, 1, 100, 99, 0, 10, 90, 30, 55, 33, 55, 75, 50, 51, 49, 50, 51, 49, 51];
var result = getNumbersOf(100, sample_input, true, []);

function getNumbersOf(targetNum, numbers, unique, res) {
    var number = numbers.shift();

    if (!numbers.length) {
        return res;
    }

    for (var i = 0; i < numbers.length; i++) {
        if ((number + numbers[i]) === targetNum) {
            var result = [number, numbers[i]];
            if (unique) {
              if (JSON.stringify(res).indexOf(JSON.stringify(result)) < 0) {
                res.push(result);                
              }
            } else {
              res.push(result);
            }
            numbers.splice(numbers.indexOf(numbers[i]), 1);
            break;
        }
    }
    return getNumbersOf(targetNum, numbers, unique, res);
}

Answer 2

Here is Java code for three approaches:
1. Using Map O(n), HashSet can also be used here.
2. Sort array and then use BinarySearch to look for complement O(nLog(n))
3. Traditional BruteForce two loops O(n^2)

public class PairsEqualToSum {

public static void main(String[] args) {
    int a[] = {1,10,5,8,2,12,6,4};
    findPairs1(a,10);
    findPairs2(a,10);
    findPairs3(a,10);

}


//Method1 - O(N) use a Map to insert values as keys & check for number's complement in map
    static void findPairs1(int[]a, int sum){
        Map<Integer, Integer> pairs = new HashMap<Integer, Integer>();
        for(int i=0; i<a.length; i++){
            if(pairs.containsKey(sum-a[i]))
                System.out.println("("+a[i]+","+(sum-a[i])+")");
            else
               pairs.put(a[i], 0);
        }
    }



//Method2 - O(nlog(n)) using Sort
static void findPairs2(int[]a, int sum){
        Arrays.sort(a);
        for(int i=0; i<a.length/2; i++){
            int complement = sum - a[i];
            int foundAtIndex = Arrays.binarySearch(a,complement);
            if(foundAtIndex >0 && foundAtIndex != i) //to avoid situation where binarySearch would find the original and not the complement like "5"
                System.out.println("("+a[i]+","+(sum-a[i])+")");
        }
 }

//Method 3 - Brute Force O(n^2)
static void findPairs3(int[]a, int sum){

    for(int i=0; i<a.length; i++){
        for(int j=i; j<a.length;j++){
            if(a[i]+a[j] == sum)
                System.out.println("("+a[i]+","+a[j]+")");
        }
    }
}

}

Answer 3

A simple Java code snippet for printing the pairs below:

    public static void count_all_pairs_with_given_sum(int arr[], int S){
        if(arr.length < 2){
        return;
    }        
    HashSet values = new HashSet(arr.length);
    for(int value : arr)values.add(value);
    for(int value : arr){
        int difference = S - value;
    if(values.contains(difference) && value<difference){
        System.out.printf("(%d, %d) %n", value, difference);
        }
    }
    }

Answer 4

Solution in java. You can add all the String elements to an ArrayList of strings and return the list. Here I am just printing it out.

void numberPairsForSum(int[] array, int sum) {
    HashSet<Integer> set = new HashSet<Integer>();
    for (int num : array) {
        if (set.contains(sum - num)) {
            String s = num + ", " + (sum - num) + " add up to " + sum;
            System.out.println(s);
        }
        set.add(num);
    }
}

C++11, run time complexity O(n):

#include <vector>
#include <unordered_map>
#include <utility>

std::vector<std::pair<int, int>> FindPairsForSum(
        const std::vector<int>& data, const int& sum)
{
    std::unordered_map<int, size_t> umap;
    std::vector<std::pair<int, int>> result;
    for (size_t i = 0; i < data.size(); ++i)
    {
        if (0 < umap.count(sum - data[i]))
        {
            size_t j = umap[sum - data[i]];
            result.push_back({data[i], data[j]});
        }
        else
        {
            umap[data[i]] = i;
        }
    }

    return result;
}

int [] arr = {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0};

var z = (from a in arr from b in arr where 10 - a == b select new { a, b }).ToList;
