Given an array nums
of integers and integer k
, return the maximum sum
such that there exists i < j
with nums[i] + nums[j] = sum
and sum < k
. If no i
, j
exist satisfying this equation, return -1
.
Example 1:
Input: nums = [34,23,1,24,75,33,54,8], k = 60 Output: 58 Explanation: We can use 34 and 24 to sum 58 which is less than 60.
Example 2:
Input: nums = [10,20,30], k = 15 Output: -1 Explanation: In this case it is not possible to get a pair sum less that 15.
Constraints:
1 <= nums.length <= 100
1 <= nums[i] <= 1000
1 <= k <= 2000

def twoSumLessThanK(self, nums: List[int], k: int) -> int:
nums.sort()
low, high = 0, len(nums) - 1
res = -1
while low < high:
val = nums[low] + nums[high]
if val < k:
res = max(res, val)
low += 1
else:
high -= 1
return res

Arrays.sort(nums);

while (low < high) {
int val = nums[low] + nums[high];
if (val < k) {
res = Math.max(res, val);
++low;
} else {
--high;
}
}
return res;
