Leetcode 75 – 1679. Max Number of K-Sum Pairs

You are given an integer array nums and an integer k.

In one operation, you can pick two numbers from the array whose sum equals k and remove them from the array.

Return the maximum number of operations you can perform on the array.

Example 1:

Input: nums = [1,2,3,4], k = 5
Output: 2
Explanation: Starting with nums = [1,2,3,4]:
- Remove numbers 1 and 4, then nums = [2,3]
- Remove numbers 2 and 3, then nums = []
There are no more pairs that sum up to 5, hence a total of 2 operations.

Example 2:

Input: nums = [3,1,3,4,3], k = 6
Output: 1
Explanation: Starting with nums = [3,1,3,4,3]:
- Remove the first two 3's, then nums = [1,4,3]
There are no more pairs that sum up to 6, hence a total of 1 operation.

Constraints:

  • 1 <= nums.length <= 105
  • 1 <= nums[i] <= 109
  • 1 <= k <= 109

PHP Code

class Solution {

/**
* @param Integer[] $nums
* @param Integer $k
* @return Integer
*/
function maxOperations($nums, $k) {
$count = 0;
$n = 1;
for ($i=0;$i<count($nums); $i++) {
for ($j=$n; $j<count($nums); $j++) {
$r = $nums[$i] + $nums[$j];
if ($r == $k && $nums[$i] > 0 && $nums[$j] > 0) {
$nums[$i] = 0;
$nums[$j] = 0;
$count++;
}
}
$n++;
}
return $count;
}
}
