# Time:  O(n)

#
# Given an array of integers, find two numbers such that 
# they add up to a specific target number.
# The function twoSum should return indices of the two numbers such that
# they add up to the target, 
# where index1 must be less than index2. Please note that 
# your returned answers (both index1 and index2) are not zero-based.
# You may assume that each input would have exactly one solution.
#
# Input: numbers={2, 7, 11, 15}, target=9
# Output: index1=1, index2=2
