Two Sums Problem
Two Sums Problem
The Problem
Given an array of integers and a target sum, find two numbers that add up to the target. Return their indices.
Example:
nums = [2, 7, 11, 15]
target = 9
Answer: [0, 1] because nums[0] + nums[1] = 2 + 7 = 9
Your Task
Implement this function:
def two_sum(nums, target):
"""
Find two numbers that add up to target.
Return their indices.
"""
# TODO: Your code here
pass
# Test it
nums = [2, 7, 11, 15]
target = 9
result = two_sum(nums, target)
print(result) # Should print [0, 1]
