Solution: Count Pairs Whose Sum is Less than Target

Explore how to efficiently count the number of distinct pairs in an array whose sums are less than a given target. Understand and apply the two-pointer technique combined with sorting to solve this problem with an optimal time complexity of O(n log n). This lesson helps you master a common interview pattern by analyzing the problem, implementing a solution, and evaluating its complexity.

Statement

You are given a 0-indexed integer array, nums, of length nn, and an integer target. Your task is to determine the number of distinct pairs of indexes (i,j)(i, j) such that:

  • 0 ...
