LeetCode167. Two Sum II - Input array is sorted

Given an array of integers that is already sorted in ascending order, find two numbers such that they add up to a specific target number.

The function twoSum should return indices of the two numbers such that they add up to the target, where index1 must be less than index2.

Note:

• Your returned answers (both index1 and index2) are not zero-based.
• You may assume that each input would have exactly one solution and you may not use the same element twice.

Example:

Input: numbers = [2,7,11,15], target = 9
Output: [1,2]
Explanation: The sum of 2 and 7 is 9. Therefore index1 = 1, index2 = 2.

<思路>刚开始想直接用index()方法搜索，不过这样没有用到已经排序的条件，会超时。改用两个指针的方式，从两边向中间搜索。

class Solution(object):
    def twoSum(self, numbers, target):
        """
        :type numbers: List[int]
        :type target: int
        :rtype: List[int]
        """
        l = 0
        r = len(numbers)-1
        
        while l<r:
            sum = numbers[l] + numbers[r]
            if sum == target:
                return[l+1,r+1]
            if sum > target:
                r -= 1
            if sum < target:
                l += 1

看到discuss里有其他的方法，学习分享。

# dictionary           
def twoSum2(self, numbers, target):
    dic = {}
    for i, num in enumerate(numbers):
        if target-num in dic:
            return [dic[target-num]+1, i+1]
        dic[num] = i
 
# binary search        
def twoSum(self, numbers, target):
    for i in xrange(len(numbers)):
        l, r = i+1, len(numbers)-1
        tmp = target - numbers[i]
        while l <= r:
            mid = l + (r-l)//2
            if numbers[mid] == tmp:
                return [i+1, mid+1]
            elif numbers[mid] < tmp:
                l = mid+1
            else:
                r = mid-1
