LeetCode Q170: Two Sum III - Data structure desing

Design and implement a TwoSum class. It should support the following operations: add and find.
add - Add the number to an internal data structure.
find - Find if there exists any pair of numbers which sum is equal to the value.
For example,
add(1); add(3); add(5);
find(4) -> true
find(7) -> false


Solution:
O(1) add
O(n) find: using hash table.

Need to care about when two numbers are equal. In this case, this number has to be added at least twice.

By using unordered_map::count() is much faster than unordered_map::find().


class TwoSum {
public:
// Add the number to an internal data structure.
void add(int number) {
myMap[number]=myMap[number]+1;
}
// Find if there exists any pair of numbers which sum is equal to the value.
bool find(int value) {
for(auto it: myMap){
int p0=it.first;
int p1=value-p0;
if(p1==p0){
if(myMap[p1]>1)
return true;
continue;
}
if(myMap.count(p1))
return true;
}
return false;
}
unordered_map<int, int> myMap;
};
// Your TwoSum object will be instantiated and called as such:
// TwoSum twoSum;
// twoSum.add(number);
// twoSum.find(value);
