Problem Description
Given two integers, num1 and num2, return the sum of the two integers.
Key Insights
- The problem is a simple arithmetic addition.
- No edge cases beyond handling negative numbers and zeros.
- Constraints are small, so performance and overflow are not concerns.
- A direct addition operation (num1 + num2) produces the answer.
Space and Time Complexity
Time Complexity: O(1) - the solution performs a single addition. Space Complexity: O(1) - no additional space is required.
Solution
The solution involves taking the two integer inputs and performing a direct addition. Since all operations are basic arithmetic, no additional data structures or complex algorithms are needed. The key insight is that the addition operator is sufficient to solve the problem, with constant time and constant space complexity.
