Description
Given an array of integers that is already sorted in ascending order, find two numbers such that they add up to a specific target number.
The function twoSum should return indices of the two numbers such that they add up to the target, where index1 must be less than index2.
Note:
- Your returned answers (both index1 and index2) are not zero-based.
- You may assume that each input would have exactlyone solution and you may not use the sameelement twice.
Example:
Input: numbers = [2,7,11,15], target = 9Output: [1,2]Explanation: The sum of 2 and 7 is 9. Therefore index1 = 1, index2 = 2.
Intuition

Solution
public int[] twoSum(int[] numbers, int target) { if(numbers==null || numbers.length<=1) throw new IllegalArgumentException("invalid array!"); int low=0; int high=numbers.length-1; while(lowtarget){ high--; } } throw new IllegalArgumentException("no such sum"); }
Complexity
Time complexity : O(n)
Space complexity : O(1)
What I've learned
1.The use of two pointers.
