Leetcode: https://leetcode.com/problems/two-sum-ii-input-array-is-sorted/
Problem:
Given an array of integers that is already sorted in ascending order, find two numbers such that they add up to a specific target number.
The function twoSum should return indices of the two numbers such that they add up to the target, where index1 must be less than index2.
Note:
- Your returned answers (both index1 and index2) are not zero-based.
- You may assume that each input would have exactly one solution and you may not use the same element twice.
Example 1:
Input: numbers = [2,7,11,15], target = 9
Output: [1,2]
Explanation: The sum of 2 and 7 is 9. Therefore index1 = 1, index2 = 2.
Example 2:
Input: numbers = [2,3,4], target = 6
Output: [1,3]
Example 3:
Input: numbers = [-1,0], target = -1
Output: [1,2]
Solution:
class Solution(object):
def twoSum(self, numbers, target):
"""
:type numbers: List[int]
:type target: int
:rtype: List[int]
"""
l, r = 0, len(numbers) - 1
while l < r:
curSum = numbers[l] + numbers[r]
if curSum > target:
r -= 1
elif curSum < target:
l += 1
else:
return [l + 1, r + 1]
