Two Sum Pair Exists

EasyPython

Problem

A feature in the eToro watchlist service needs to detect whether two observed integer values combine to a specified target. Given an unsorted array of integers nums and an integer target, return True if two different elements sum to target; otherwise, return False.

Each array element may be used at most once. Duplicate values are allowed, so two separate occurrences of the same value can form a valid pair.

Formal Specification

  • Input: nums, a list of integers, and target, an integer.
  • Output: A boolean indicating whether indices i and j exist such that i != j and nums[i] + nums[j] == target.
  • The input array must not be modified.

Constraints

  • 0 <= nums.length <= 100,000
  • -10^9 <= nums[i], target <= 10^9
  • Duplicate values and negative values are allowed
  • The input array must not be modified

Function Signature
