Are you really in the US as your profile says? And if so, do you talk like this on the job?

You're doing one sort and one binary search.

1. Sort the array in ascending order
2. let int i=0 and int j=n-1
3. if i>=j then search is over
4. calculate sum=array[i]+array[j]
5.   if sum<x, increment i and goto (3)
6.   if sum>x, decrement j and goto (3)
7.   since sum==x, solution found (either stop; or increment i, decrement j and goto 3)

hello and thanks for your answers.<br />
it is the code i wrote in c++:<br />
<br />
int main(){<br />
  //here we declare variables<br />
  cin<<x;<br />
  //here first we sort the array with O(nlg(n))<br />
  mergeSort(Arbegin,Arend);//begin and end of array<br />
  //now we have a sorted array<br />
  int i=0;<br />
  //the order of below algorithm in worst case is O(n) so the order is :O(n)<br />
  while(i<j){<br />
    int sum=A[i]+A[j];<br />
    if(x < sum){<br />
      i++;<br />
    }<br />
    if(x < sum){<br />
      j--;<br />
    }<br />
    if(sum==x){<br />
      a=i;<br />
      b=j;<br />
      break;<br />
    }<br />
  }<br />
}<br />
