The 2sum problem involves finding two numbers in an array that add up to a given target.

• One approach is to use a hash table to store the complement of each number as we iterate through the array.

• Another approach is to sort the array and use two pointers, one starting from the beginning and the other from the end, to find the pair.

• If the array is sorted, we can also use binary search to find the complement of each number.
