HashSet is insufficient for the "2x" case, i.e., if 6 is tested in the above example. There's only one 3, so it should return false, but the HashSet approach would return true. A HashMap with value == count could be used to handle this edge case (i.e., return true only if count > 1).

For even optimal solution, there no need for HashMap, just use HashSet and store the difference.

void printPairs(int arr[], int arr_size, int sum)
{
  int i, temp;
  set s;
 
  for(i = 0; i = 0 && (s.find(temp) != s.end()))
    {
      printf("Pair with given sum %d is (%d, %d) 
", sum, arr[i], temp);
    }
    s.insert(arr[i]);
  }
}

That's right Jun...using the HashSet you can simply say if hashSet.contains(value-a[i])

Seluj · Answer

Write one loop to store the data array in a hashmap =
loop through the data array again and find if value-data[i] is also in the array.

The trick is that we will have O(2n) because of the two looops which for large number will be O(n) time.

So:

public class TwoSumImpl implements TwoSum{

public boolean test(int [] a, int value)
{
     HashMap  mapOfInt = new HashMap();
     boolean testResult = false;

     for(int i=0;i
