finding a pair of integers in a sorted array which sum to K
Given a sorted array of integers, how can we find a pair of integers that sum to K? e.g. array = 1,3,5,6,0 , K = 6 , the answer is 1 and 5. Time complexity should be minimized. You may want to look at this blog post: http://www.codingatwork.com/2011/07/array-sum/ My approach would be to do a binary search of the list for K/2 , then walk one variable a left and another variable b right trying to find a solution a+b=K . The idea would be to start a at the largest number less than or equal to K/2 and start b at the smallest number greater than a . Again, use a binary search to find a and let b be
