Vaibhav, We are not finding two numbers with sum "X". Here we are talking about subset. :)
@Navneet Please see this link http://www-ti.informatik.uni-tuebingen.de/~reinhard/krypto/English/4.5.1.e.html PS: You might have seen it before. In that case ignore it. ~ Oppilas On Mon, Jun 20, 2011 at 12:21 PM, vaibhav shukla <vaibhav200...@gmail.com>wrote: > sort the array using merge sort : order nlogn > take the first element,subtract it with 'k' , then search the result using > binary search in rest of the array : order nlogn > hence u get two elements which sum up to K in order nlogn > > > On Mon, Jun 20, 2011 at 12:14 PM, Navneet Gupta <navneetn...@gmail.com>wrote: > >> Right, in the worst case, complexity with be O(2^N). >> >> So what are the possible optimizations here?
