Php Program for Count pairs with given sum

Given an array of integers, and a number ‘sum’, find the number of pairs of integers in the array whose sum is equal to ‘sum’.

Examples:  

Input  :  arr[] = {1, 5, 7, -1}, 
          sum = 6
Output :  2
Pairs with sum 6 are (1, 5) and (7, -1)

Input  :  arr[] = {1, 5, 7, -1, 5}, 
          sum = 6
Output :  3
Pairs with sum 6 are (1, 5), (7, -1) &
                     (1, 5)         

Input  :  arr[] = {1, 1, 1, 1}, 
          sum = 2
Output :  6
There are 3! pairs with sum 2.

Input  :  arr[] = {10, 12, 10, 15, -1, 7, 6, 
                   5, 4, 2, 1, 1, 1}, 
          sum = 11
Output :  9

Expected time complexity O(n)
 

Naive Solution – A simple solution is to traverse each element and check if there’s another number in the array which can be added to it to give sum. 
 

PHP




<?php
// PHP implementation of simple 
// method to find count of
// pairs with given sum.
  
// Returns number of pairs in 
// arr[0..n-1] with sum equal
// to 'sum'
function getPairsCount($arr, $n, $sum)
{
    // Initialize result
    $count = 0; 
  
    // Consider all possible pairs 
    // and check their sums
    for ($i = 0; $i < $n; $i++)
        for ($j = $i + 1; $j < $n; $j++)
            if ($arr[$i] + $arr[$j] == $sum)
                $count++;
  
    return $count;
}
  
    // Driver Code
    $arr = array(1, 5, 7, -1, 5) ;
    $n = sizeof($arr);
    $sum = 6;
    echo "Count of pairs is "
         , getPairsCount($arr, $n, $sum);
           
// This code is contributed by nitin mittal.
?>


Output

Count of pairs is 3

Time Complexity: O(n2
Auxiliary Space: O(1)
