167. Two Sum II - Input Array Is Sorted

Given a 1-indexed array of integers numbers that is already *sorted in non-decreasing order*, find two numbers such that they add up to a specific target number. Let these two numbers be numbers[index1] and numbers[index2] where 1 <= index1 < index2 <= numbers.length.

Return the indices of the two numbers, index1 and index2, added by one as an integer array [index1, index2] of length 2.

The tests are generated such that there is exactly one solution. You may not use the same element twice.

Your solution must use only constant extra space.

Example 1:

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. We return [1, 2].

Example 2:

Input: numbers = [2,3,4], target = 6
Output: [1,3]
Explanation: The sum of 2 and 4 is 6. Therefore index1 = 1, index2 = 3. We return [1, 3].

Example 3:

Input: numbers = [-1,0], target = -1
Output: [1,2]
Explanation: The sum of -1 and 0 is -1. Therefore index1 = 1, index2 = 2. We return [1, 2].

Solution

class Solution {
    public int[] twoSum(int[] numbers, int target) {
        int[] result = new int[2];
        int left = 0; 
        int right = numbers.length - 1;
        while(left < right){
            if (numbers[left] + numbers[right] == target){
                result[0] = left+1;
                result[1] = right+1;
                return result;
            }else if (numbers[left] + numbers[right] < target){
                left++;
            }else {
                right--;
            }
        }

        return result;

    }
}
