To optimize this problem, we need an important observation. If the current number

1:54

is X, then to reach the target, we need another number equal to

1:58

target minus X, and this value is called the compliment. We can use a HashMap to solve this efficiently.

The idea is simple. We traverse the array once. For each number, we compute its compli-

2:11

compliment. We check if the compliment already exists in the map. If it exists,

2:17

we have found our answer. If it doesn't, we store the current number and its index

2:21

in the map. This approach works because we only look at previous elements.

2:28

We never use the same element twice. We find the solution in a single pass. This reduces the
