<p>In algorithm problems, <strong>we often reduce the time complexity of algorithms by replacing linear search with hash search</strong>. Let's use an algorithm problem to deepen understanding.</p>
<div class="admonition question">
<p class="admonition-title">Question</p>
<p>Given an integer array <code>nums</code> and a target element <code>target</code>, please search for two elements in the array whose "sum" equals <code>target</code>, and return their array indices. Any solution is acceptable.</p>

<p>Consider traversing all possible combinations directly. As shown in Figure 10-9, we initiate a two-layer loop, and in each round, we determine whether the sum of the two integers equals <code>target</code>. If so, we return their indices.</p>

<p>This method reduces the time complexity from <span class="arithmatex">\(O(n^2)\)</span> to <span class="arithmatex">\(O(n)\)</span> by using hash search, greatly improving the running efficiency.</p>
<p>As it requires maintaining an additional hash table, the space complexity is <span class="arithmatex">\(O(n)\)</span>. <strong>Nevertheless, this method has a more balanced time-space efficiency overall, making it the optimal solution for this problem</strong>.</p>
