Find index of array elements which sum together to equal target

#1

Below is a working solution (very efficient) to the problem: “find index of array elements which sum together to equal target”

I have two questions:
1.How does this function rule out cases where an element of an array is added to itself to equal the target?

  1. How does “map.set(nums[i], i);” end up returning an array with the index of the two elements separated by a comma?
function bebo(nums, target) {
 let map = new Map;
    for (var i = 0; i < nums.length; i++) {
        let complement = target - nums[i];
        if (map.has(complement)) {
            return [map.get(complement), i]
        }
        map.set(nums[i], i);
    }
  
}

bebo([2,11,7,15],9)

Thanks in advance : )

The question isn’t clear to me. Are you asking why this:

bebo([2, 1, 3], 4)

… doesn’t just return [0, 0]? Because when it checks that 2, it hasn’t stored it into the map yet so it doesn’t see 2 in the map yet`. The set method is called after the check.

When in doubt, step through it. You can put a bunch on log statements in there or write it out on paper.
