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

Fast I/O + Qsort + Binary Search = AC but still time was 0.08 seconds. Later will give it a try using a method similar to sliding window / 2 pointers. Maybe that will help the time limit. |

simple one....O(n) solution |

0.04s using the two pointers method. Even faster than binary search as the time complexity is only O(n) instead of O(nlogn). Last edit: 2015-12-08 12:50:42 |

worked in 0.26 secs. O(n) using java.util.HashMap :) |

venkatesh, you have to check for element-k as well |
