1679. Max Number of K-Sum Pairs

You are given an integer array nums and an integer k.

In one operation, you can pick two numbers from the array whose sum equals k and remove them from the array.

Return the maximum number of operations you can perform on the array.

Example 1:

Input: nums = [1,2,3,4], k = 5
Output: 2
Explanation: Starting with nums = [1,2,3,4]:

• Remove numbers 1 and 4, then nums = [2,3]
• Remove numbers 2 and 3, then nums = []
  There are no more pairs that sum up to 5, hence a total of 2 operations.

Example 2:

Input: nums = [3,1,3,4,3], k = 6
Output: 1
Explanation: Starting with nums = [3,1,3,4,3]:

• Remove the first two 3's, then nums = [1,4,3]
  There are no more pairs that sum up to 6, hence a total of 1 operation.

def maxOperations(self, nums: List[int], k: int) -> int:
	count = Counter()
	tot = 0

	for num in nums:
		if count[k - num] > 0:
			count[k - num] -= 1
			tot += 1
		else:
			count[num] += 1

	return tot
