Two-Sum with Hash Lookup

Walk the array once, storing seen values in a lookup table. When the complement is already present, the result indices are known.

Algorithm

Basic Implementation

Basic.java

import java.util.*;

public class Basic {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        int[] arr = {2, 7, 11, 4, 5};
        int target = 9;
        Map<Integer, Integer> seen = new HashMap<>();
        int first = -1;
        int second = -1;
        for (int i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) {
            int need = target - arr[i];
            if (seen.containsKey(need)) {
                first = seen.get(need);
                second = i;
                break;
            }
            seen.put(arr[i], i);
        }
        System.out.println("[" + first + ", " + second + "]");
    }
}

Complexity

Time: O(n) average
Space: O(n)

Implementation notes

Keep the explicit control flow. Library shortcuts would hide the state changes this lesson is meant to replay.
The final output is intentionally small and deterministic for cross-language comparison.

execution replay The checked-in replay follows the language-neutral state table for `array-two-sum-hash`.

cross-language comparison This Java DSA version keeps the same data and final output as every other DSA book in this wave.
