Repeat Exercise  for four numbers. Try to design an O(N2 logN) algorithm. (Hint: Compute all possible sums of two elements. Sort these possible sums. Then proceed as in Exercise.)

Exercise

We are given an array that contains N numbers. We want to determine if there are two numbers whose sum equals a given number K. For instance, if the input is 8, 4, 1, 6, and K is 10, then the answer is yes (4 and 6). A number may be used twice. Do the following:

a. Give an O(N2) algorithm to solve this problem.


b. Give an O(N logN) algorithm to solve this problem. (Hint: Sort the items first. After that is done, you can solve the problem in linear time.)


c. Code both solutions and compare the running times of your algorithms.
