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.rs
fn main() {
let arr = [2, 7, 11, 4, 5];
let target = 9;
let mut seen = std::collections::HashMap::new();
let mut result = (-1, -1);
for (i, value) in arr.iter().enumerate() {
let need = target - value;
if let Some(j) = seen.get(&need) {
result = (*j as i32, i as i32);
break;
}
seen.insert(*value, i);
}
println!("[{}, {}]", result.0, result.1);
}
Complexity
- Time: O(n) average
- Space: O(n)
Implementation notes
- The checked source uses a fixed array literal,
let arr = [2, 7, 11, 4, 5], not aVec. let mut seen = std::collections::HashMap::new()builds a mutable map from copiedi32values tousizeindices.- The loop uses
arr.iter().enumerate(), soiis ausizeandvalueis a borrowed&i32. Arithmetictarget - valuerelies on Rust's integer subtraction over the referenced scalar. - Lookup happens before insertion:
seen.get(&need)returnsOption<&usize>. OnSome(j), the code copies*j, casts both indices toi32, storesresult = (*j as i32, i as i32), and breaks. - On a miss,
seen.insert(*value, i)copies the current value into the map. No duplicate update is reached in this trace. - The trace records
seen={}at start, theni=0withneed=7as a miss andseen={2: 0}. Ati=1,need=2hits and records result[0, 1]. println!("[{}, {}]", result.0, result.1)prints the deterministic index pair[0, 1]; the code never iterates overseen, so hash-map iteration order is irrelevant.
execution replay
The checked-in replay follows the language-neutral state table for `array-two-sum-hash`.

This Rust DSA version keeps the same data and final output as every other DSA book in this wave.
