[LintCode] Two Sum - Data Structure Design

Design and implement a TwoSum class. It should support the following operations: add and find.

add - Add the number to an internal data structure.
find - Find if there exists any pair of numbers which sum is equal to the value.

 

Example

add(1); add(3); add(5);

find(4) // return true
find(7) // return false


For two sum, typically we have two solutions to select from: using hash table or sorting then 
using two pointers technique.
Using hash table gives us a O(n) runtime and O(n) space algorithm; 
Using sorting/two pointers technique gives us a O(n*logn) time, and O(1) space(if quick sort is used) algorithm. 

This problem is different with the Two Sum problem in the following two aspects.
1. We need to design a data structure that supports adding new element to the internal 
data structure that stores all elements. 
2. We only check if such a pair exists or not; no need to return the indices as is 
required in the Two Sum problem. 

Since we need to maintain such an internal data structure that stores all elements and 
an add element operation, we need to use O(n) space for this regardless which approach
we use. So this makes the hash table solution better as it has a better runtime of O(n).

Solution. O(n) time, O(n) space, Hash table
Since we only check if such a pair exists, a hash set and one pass is sufficient. 
Another implementation is to iterate through the list and store all key-value pairs(value - nums[i], nums[i])
in a hash map. Then during the second pass, for each element nums[i], check if a key of 
value - nums[i] exists. This still gives us O(n) runtime but obviously not as good
as the one pass solution. However, this two passes solution is useful when we need
to return indices as is required in Two Sum.

10     public void add(int number) {
11         this.numbers.add(number);
12     }

14     // Find if there exists any pair of numbers which sum is equal to the value.
15     public boolean find(int value) {
16         HashSet<Integer> set = new HashSet<Integer>();
17         for(int i = 0; i < this.numbers.size(); i++)
18         {
19             if(set.contains(numbers.get(i)))
20             {
21                 return true;
22             }
23             set.add(value - numbers.get(i));
24         }
25         return false;
26     }
27 }
28 // Your TwoSum object will be instantiated and called as such:
29 // TwoSum twoSum = new TwoSum();
30 // twoSum.add(number);
31 // twoSum.find(value);
