💡 Hint (Click to Reveal)
Use a hash map to store seen numbers and their indices. For each number, check if its "complement" (target - current) exists in the map.
```javascript
/**
* @param {number[]} nums
* @param {number} target
* @return {number[]}
*/
function twoSum(nums, target) {
const map = new Map(); // Stores {number: index}
for (let i = 0; i < nums.length; i++) {
const complement = target - nums[i];
if (map.has(complement)) {
return [map.get(complement), i]; // Found the pair!
}
map.set(nums[i], i); // Store current number
}
return []; // No solution (edge case, per problem assumption)
}
// Test your solution
console.log(twoSum([2, 7, 11, 15], 9)); // Expected: [0, 1]
console.log(twoSum([3, 2, 4], 6)); // Expected: [1, 2]
console.log(twoSum([3, 3], 6)); // Expected: [0, 1]
```
**Try It Yourself:** Copy the code into your browser console or a JS editor. What's your time complexity? (O(n) with the map!)
