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.scala
object Main {
	def main(args: Array[String]): Unit = {
		val arr = Array(2, 7, 11, 4, 5)
		val target = 9
		val seen = scala.collection.mutable.Map[Int, Int]()
		var first = -1
		var second = -1
		var done = false
		for (i <- arr.indices if !done) {
			val value = arr(i)
			val need = target - value
			if (seen.contains(need)) {
				first = seen(need)
				second = i
				done = true
			} else {
				seen(value) = i
			}
		}
		println(s"[$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 Scala DSA version keeps the same data and final output as every other DSA book in this wave.
