Problem Statement
(Problem Link) Given an array of integers, return indices of the two numbers such that they add up to a specific target.
You may assume that each input would have exactly one solution.
Example:
Given nums = [2, 7, 11, 15], target = 9, Because nums[0] + nums[1] = 2 + 7 = 9, return [0, 1].
Solution
class Solution(object):
def twoSum(self, nums, target):
"""
:type nums: List[int]
:type target: int
:rtype: List[int]
"""
indexed_map = dict()
for i, v in enumerate(nums):
if target - v in indexed_map:
return [indexed_map[target - v], i]
else:
indexed_map[v] = i
