Codewars Problem [JavaScript]

Solved on Apr. 3rd, 2020

Write a function that takes an array of numbers (integers for the tests) and a target number.

It should find two different items in the array that, when added together, give the target value.

The indices of these items should then be returned in a tuple like so: (index1, index2).

For the purposes of this kata, some tests may have multiple answers; any valid solutions will be accepted.

The input will always be valid (numbers will be an array of length 2 or greater, and all of the items will be numbers;

target will always be the sum of two different items from that array).

Based on: http://oj.leetcode.com/problems/two-sum/

twoSum [1, 2, 3] 4 === (0, 2)


Test_01

function twoSum(numbers, target) {
  for (var i=0; i<numbers.length;i++) {
    for (var j=1; j<numbers.length; j++) {
      if (numbers[i] + numbers[j] == target) {
        return [i,j];
      }
    }
  }
}
