@Bharath : Cud u plz explain how r u searching the elements in O(n) time? Because if we use binary search, it will have O(n*log n ) worst case time complexity. One way in which I think it cud be made O(n) is that we can use a hash table, with a good hash function apart frm the array. And then for

(for array sorted in ascending order) take 2 indexes i and j pointing to 1st and last element of the array respectively... now if(arr[i]+arr[j] == x) print(arr[i]); print(arr[j]; else if(arr[i]+arr[j]x) j--; else i++; I think this should work...(i've not checked) correct me if i m wrong On

Instead of using an array...we can do this by converting the BST into a doubly linked list...but this will definitely modify the BST.. On Mon, Jun 27, 2011 at 3:01 PM, varun pahwa varunpahwa2...@gmail.comwrote: @ankit: no need to use hash table for that. simply run two pointers one from 0 and
