Arrays and Iteration
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.kt
fun main() {
val arr = intArrayOf(2, 7, 11, 4, 5)
val target = 9
val seen = mutableMapOf<Int, Int>()
var first = -1
var second = -1
for (i in arr.indices) {
val value = arr[i]
val need = target - value
if (seen.containsKey(need)) {
first = seen[need]!!
second = i
break
}
seen[value] = i
}
println("[$first, $second]")
}
Complexity
- Time: O(n) average
- Space: O(n)
Implementation notes
- Kotlin stores the input as a primitive
IntArrayand iterates indexes withfor (i in arr.indices), so eacharr[i]read yields a non-nullInt. arr,target, andseenarevalbindings;seenstill mutates because it is created withmutableMapOf<Int, Int>().firstandsecondarevar Intsentinels initialized to-1and replaced only after a successful complement lookup.- Each loop binds
value = arr[i]and computesneed = target - valuebefore updating the map, so the current index cannot pair with itself. - The map lookup uses
seen.containsKey(need)beforeseen[need]!!; the non-null assertion is guarded by the membership check in this source. - Misses update the map with
seen[value] = i, storing value-to-index pairs asIntkeys andIntvalues. - The trace records
{}then{2: 0}afteri=0; ati=1,needis2, the lookup hits, and the result becomes[0, 1]. println("[$first, $second]")formats the two result indexes directly, producing[0, 1].
