Two Sum

Greedy

class Solution {
 public:
  vector<int> twoSum(vector<int>& nums, int target) {
    const int n = nums.size();
    for (int i = 0; i < n - 1; i++) {
      for (int j = i + 1; j < n; j++) {
        if (nums[i] + nums[j] == target) {
          return vector<int>{i, j};
        }
      }
    }
    throw "no combination";
  }
};

Hash Table

class Solution {
 public:
  vector<int> twoSum(vector<int>& nums, int target) {
    const int n = nums.size();
    unordered_map<int, int> m;
    for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
      const int complement = target - nums[i];
      if (m.find(complement) != m.end()) {
