HackerRank Array Pairs problem solution

YASH PAL, 31 July 202410 February 2026

HackerRank Array Pairs problem solution – In this tutorial, we are going to solve or make a solution to the Array Pairs problem. so here we have given an array of n integers and we need to find and print the total number of pairs such that the multiplication of the paired element is less than the max value of the array.
