Given a list of integers A and an integer k, return the number of unique pairs of integers in A that sum to k. For example, if A=[1 2 5 5 10 8 2] and k=10, the answer is 2, arrived as 5+5 or 2+8. There were 15 tests for this question, with at least the last two timing out, given that the implementation was not as efficient as possible.

/* * Suppose we have a sorted array in ascending order, with no duplicates: * * {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7} * * Somehow an unknown amount of numbers at the beginning are shifted to the end, * creating an array that looks like: * 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 * {3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 1, 2} * * Let us call the new array a shifted cyclic array. * * Now, given a Shifted Cyclic Array int a[], and its length n (> 0), write a function * to find the smallest number in the array. */
