In this video, I solve LeetCode Problem 167 - Two Sum II: Input Array Is Sorted using the Two Pointer approach in JavaScript. πŸ” What you'll learn: -Why HashMap is not the optimal solution here -How constant extra space affects solution choice -Using Two Pointers on a sorted array -Why JavaScript arrays still use 0-based indexing -Why we return [l + 1, r + 1] for 1-indexed output πŸ’‘ At first, I tried thinking about the HashMap solution because I solved the normal Two Sum problem that way before. But later I noticed the question required constant extra space, so I switched to the Two Pointer technique. πŸ’‘ We use one pointer from the beginning and one from the end, then move them inward depending on the current sum. ⏱ Time Complexity: O(n) πŸ“¦ Space Complexity: O(1) πŸ“š Problem Link: https://leetcode.com/problems/two-sum-ii-input-array-is-sorted/ πŸš€ A very common interview problem for learning Two Pointer optimization on sorted arrays. #leetcode #dsa #twopointers #javascript #arrays #coding #algorithms
