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.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, $second]")
}
}
Complexity
- Time: O(n) average
- Space: O(n)
Implementation notes
val arr = Array(2, 7, 11, 4, 5)andval target = 9are immutable Scala bindings for the checked input; the array elements are read witharr(i).val seen = scala.collection.mutable.Map[Int, Int]()stores value-to-index pairs and is mutated in place.var first = -1andvar second = -1are sentinel result slots until a pair is found;var done = falsestops later loop iterations.- The loop
for (i <- arr.indices if !done)uses the array's valid index range and a guard so the scan stops after the first hit. - Each step binds
val value = arr(i)andval need = target - value. - Lookup uses
seen.contains(need)followed byseen(need)on a hit; this source does not use anOption-returning lookup. - On a miss,
seen(value) = irecords the current value and index. The trace showsi = 0needing7, missing, and writing{2: 0}. - At
i = 1, value7needs2, hits the map, sets result[0, 1], andprintln(s"[$first, $second]")prints[0, 1].
execution replay
The checked-in replay follows the language-neutral state table for `array-two-sum-hash`.

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