Javascript - From an array, return 2 numbers that add up to a given target

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, and you may not use the same element twice.
Example:
Given nums = [2, 7, 11, 15], target = 9,

Because nums[0] + nums[1] = 2 + 7 = 9,
return [0, 1].

Solution - Brute Force

var twoSum = function(nums, target) {
    for(var i = 0; i < nums.length; i++) {
        for(var j = i + 1; j < nums.length; j++) {
            if(nums[j] == target - nums[i]) {
                return [i, j]
            }
        }
    }
    throw new Error(`No two numbers such that they total-up to ${target}`);
};

console.log(twoSum([2,7,11,15], 9));

Finished
Runtime: 84 ms

Your input
[2,7,11,15]
9
stdout
[ 0, 1 ]
Output
[0,1]
Expected
[0,1]

Difference between .exec() and .execPopulate() in Mongoose?

Here I answer what is the difference between .exec() and .execPopulate() in Mongoose? .exec() is used with a query while .execPopulate() is used with a document Syntax for .exec() is as follows: Model.query() . populate ( 'field' ) . exec () // returns promise . then ( function ( document ) { console . log ( document ); }); Syntax for .execPopulate() is as follows: fetchedDocument . populate ( 'field' ) . execPopulate () // returns promise . then ( function ( document ) { console . log ( document ); }); When working with individual document use .execPopulate(), for model query use .exec(). Both returns a promise. One can do without .exec() or .execPopulate() but then has to pass a callback in populate.

Resolve: Uncaught TypeError: firebase.database is not a function

If you are getting the error: Uncaught TypeError: firebase.database is not a function Resolve it by including firebase-database.js in your html page as follows: <!-- The core Firebase JS SDK is always required and must be listed first --> <script defer src = "https://www.gstatic.com/firebasejs/6.2.4/firebase-app.js" ></script> <script defer src = "https://www.gstatic.com/firebasejs/3.1.0/firebase-database.js" ></script> That is it. Let me know if this was helpful.
