Max Number of K-Sum Pairs

You are given an integer array nums and an integer k.

In one operation, you can pick two numbers from the array whose sum equals k and remove them from the array.

Return the maximum number of operations you can perform on the array.

 

Example 1:

Input: nums = [1,2,3,4], k = 5
Output: 2
Explanation: Starting with nums = [1,2,3,4]:
- Remove numbers 1 and 4, then nums = [2,3]
- Remove numbers 2 and 3, then nums = []
There are no more pairs that sum up to 5, hence a total of 2 operations.
Example 2:

Input: nums = [3,1,3,4,3], k = 6
Output: 1
Explanation: Starting with nums = [3,1,3,4,3]:
- Remove the first two 3's, then nums = [1,4,3]
There are no more pairs that sum up to 6, hence a total of 1 operation.

Solution:

class Solution {
    public int maxOperations(int[] nums, int k) {
        Map<Integer, Integer> freq = new HashMap();
        int count = 0;
        for (int i = 0; i < nums.length; i ++) {
            int val = nums[i];
            int target = k - val;
            if (freq.containsKey(target)) {
                count ++;
                freq.put(target, freq.get(target) - 1);
                if (freq.get(target) == 0) {
                    freq.remove(target);
                }
            } else {
                freq.put(val, freq.getOrDefault(val, 0) + 1);
            }
        }
        return count;
    }
