This straightforward approach involves examining every possible combination to find the solution. While not optimal, this method is simple to understand and implement. However, its time complexity can be high for large datasets, making it inefficient for extensive inputs.
Time Complexity: O(n^2), Space Complexity: O(1)

8This Python function iterates over the list to examine all pairs of numbers. It offers simplicity at the cost of performance for large inputs.
This technique involves first sorting the array, which allows us to use the two-pointer method to efficiently find the required pairs. This approach is significantly better than brute force for larger datasets.
Time Complexity: O(n log n), Space Complexity: O(1)

This JavaScript program efficiently processes data through a combination of sorting and the two-pointer design pattern, boosting efficacy vis-à-vis the brute force method.
