170. Two Sum III - Data structure design

Design and implement a TwoSum class. It should support the following operations:addandfind.

add- Add the number to an internal data structure. find- Find if there exists any pair of numbers which sum is equal to the value.

Example 1:

add(1); add(3); add(5);
find(4) ->true
find(7) ->false

Example 2:

add(3); add(1); add(2);
find(3) -> true
find(6) -> false

Thoughts:

  1. Find vs Add trade off

  2. Find-favored algorithms

  3. Add- favored algorithms

Code: algorithms that are Find-favored algorithms (TLE)

public class TwoSum {
        Set<Integer> sum;
        Set<Integer> num;

        TwoSum(){
            sum = new HashSet<Integer>();
            num = new HashSet<Integer>();
        }
        // Add the number to an internal data structure.
        public void add(int number) {
            if(num.contains(number)){
                sum.add(number * 2);
            }else{
                Iterator<Integer> iter = num.iterator();
                while(iter.hasNext()){
                    sum.add(iter.next() + number);
                }
                num.add(number);
            }
        }

        // Find if there exists any pair of numbers which sum is equal to the value.
        public boolean find(int value) {
            return sum.contains(value);
        }
    }

Code: algorithms that are Add-favored algorithms (Add: O(1), Find: (O(n))
