HACKRNDM - Hacking the random number generator
You recently wrote a random number generator code for a web application and now you notice that some cracker has cracked it. It now gives numbers at a difference of some given value k more predominantly. You being a hacker decide to write a code that will take in n numbers as input and a value k and find the total number of pairs of numbers whose absolute difference is equal to k, in order to assist you in your random number generator testing.
NOTE: All values fit in the range of a signed integer, n, k>=1
Input
1st line contains n & k.
2nd line contains n numbers of the set. All the n numbers are assured to be distinct.
(Edited: n <= 10^5)
Output
One integer saying the no of pairs of numbers that have a diff k.
Example
Input: 5 2
1 5 3 4 2 Output: 3

An O(n) solution might be slower than an O(n*logn) one for some given input. Constant factor also plays a role. For example, computing a hashcode costs constant time, but the overall time for computing hashcodes of n numbers might be significant. Besides, some time is wasted in re-allocating large amount of space and data migration. This is especially the case for the rehash scenario when a hash table is used.

How is it that O(n) solution takes more time than O(nlogn) solution? o_O |

O(n) sol'n takes 1.63secs but AC
