Determine if array contains two elements which equal a certain sum?

Question

// Checks whether the array contains two elements whose sum is s.
// Input: A list of numbers and an integer s
// Output: return True if the answer is yes, else return False

public static boolean calvalue (int[] numbers, int s){
for (int i=0; i< numbers.length; i++){
    for (int j=i+1; j<numbers.length;j++){
        if (numbers[i] < s){
            if (numbers[i]+numbers[j] == s){
                return true;
                }
            }
        }
    }
    return false;
}

Answer 1

This can be achieved in O(n).

1. Create a hash-backed set out of your list, such that it contains all elements of the list. This takes O(n).
2. Walk through each element n of your list, calculate s-n = d, and check for the presence of d in the set. If d is present, then n+d = s, so return true. If you pass through the list without finding an appropriate d, return false. This is achieved in a single pass through your list, with each lookup taking O(1), so this step also takes O(n).

Answer 2

Both the solutions mentioned in other answers to this post, and a few other answers as well (eg using a bitmap instead of a hash-table), appear in the following duplicates and slight variations of the question:
• Find two elements in an array that sum to k,
• Find a pair of elements from an array whose sum equals a given number,
• Determine whether or not there exist two elements in set s whose sum is exactly,
• Checking if 2 numbers of array add up to i,
• Find pair of numbers in array that add to given sum,
• Design an algorithm to find all pairs of integers within an array which sum to a,
• Given an unsorted array find any two elements in the array whose sum is equal t,
• A recursive algorithm to find two integers in an array that sums to a given inte,
• Find 2 numbers in an unsorted array equal to a given sum,
• Find two elements so sum is equal to given value,
• and, per google, many more.
