Count pairs from two sorted arrays whose sum is equal to a given value x

  • Difficulty Level : Easy

Given two sorted arrays of size m and n of distinct elements. Given a value x. The problem is to count all pairs from both arrays whose sum is equal to x. 
Note: The pair has an element from each array.
Examples : 
 

Input : arr1[] = {1, 3, 5, 7}
        arr2[] = {2, 3, 5, 8}
        x = 10

Output : 2
The pairs are:
(5, 5) and (7, 3)

Input : arr1[] = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 11} 
        arr2[] = {2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 12} 
        x = 9

Output : 5

Method 1 (Naive Approach): Using two loops pick elements from both the arrays and check whether the sum of the pair is equal to x or not.

Time Complexity : O(mlogn), searching should be applied on the array which is of greater size so as to reduce the time complexity. 
Auxiliary space : O(1)
Method 3 (Hashing): Hash table is implemented using unordered_set in C++. We store all first array elements in hash table. For elements of second array, we subtract every element from x and check the result in hash table. If result is present, we increment the count.

Output :  
Count = 2
Time Complexity : O(m+n) 
Auxiliary space : O(m), hash table should be created of the array having smaller size so as to reduce the space complexity.
Method 4 (Efficient Approach): This approach uses the concept of two pointers, one to traverse 1st array from left to right and another to traverse the 2nd array from right to left.
Algorithm : 
 
countPairs(arr1, arr2, m, n, x)

     Initialize l = 0, r = n - 1
     Initialize count = 0

     loop while l = 0
        if (arr1[l] + arr2[r]) == x
           l++, r--
           count++
        else if (arr1[l] + arr2[r]) < x
           l++
        else
           r--

     return count
