How to find all pairs of elements in Java array whose sum is equal to a given number?


To find all pairs of elements in Java array whose sum is equal to a given number −

  • Add each element in the array to all the remaining elements (except itself).
  • Verify if the sum is equal to the required number.
  • If true, print their indices.

Example

import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.Scanner;
public class sample {
   public static void main(String args[]){
      //Reading the array from the user
      Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
      System.out.println("Enter the size of the array that is to be created: ");
      int size = sc.nextInt();
      int[] myArray = new int[size];
      System.out.println("Enter the elements of the array: ");
      for(int i=0; i<size; i++){
         myArray[i] = sc.nextInt();
      }
      //Reading the number
      System.out.println("Enter the number: ");
      int num = sc.nextInt();
      System.out.println("The array created is: "+Arrays.toString(myArray));
      System.out.println("indices of the elements whose sum is: "+num);
      for(int i=0; i<myArray.length; i++){
         for (int j=i; j<myArray.length; j++){
            if((myArray[i]+myArray[j])== num && i!=j){
               System.out.println(i+", "+j);
            }
         }
      }
   }
}

Output

Enter the size of the array that is to be created:
8
Enter the elements of the array:
15
12
4
16
9
8
24
0
Enter the number:
24
The array created is: [15, 12, 4, 16, 9, 8, 24, 0]
indices of the elements whose sum is: 24
0, 4
3, 5
6, 7
