# Time:  O(n)
# Space: O(n)

# Given an array of integers, return indices of the two numbers
# such that they add up to a specific target.
#
# You may assume that each input would have exactly one solution.
#
# Example:
# Given nums = [2, 7, 11, 15], target = 9,
#
# Because nums[0] + nums[1] = 2 + 7 = 9,
# return [0, 1].
