In this video, I solve LeetCode Problem 167 - Two Sum II: Input Array Is Sorted using the Two Pointer approach in JavaScript.
π 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
π‘ 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.
π‘ We use one pointer from the beginning and one from the end, then move them inward depending on the current sum.
β± Time Complexity:

π¦ Space Complexity:
