Target Sum Checker

The provided Python script contains a function called hasTargetSum, which receives two arguments:

1. An array of integers.
2. A target integer.

The function is designed to return True if any pair of numbers in the array adds up to the target number; otherwise, it returns False.

Function Description

The hasTargetSum function iterates through all possible pairs of numbers in the input array and checks if their sum equals the target integer. If a pair with the target sum is found, the function returns True. If no such pair is found after checking all pairs, it returns False.

Usage

To use the hasTargetSum function, you can call it with an array of integers and the target integer. For example:

def main():
     int_arr = [12, 3, 7, 89, 35]
     target = 42
     result = hasTargetSum(int_arr, target)
     print(result) # Output: True

if __name__ == "__main__":
     main()

In this example, the script checks if there exists a pair of numbers in the array [12, 3, 7, 89, 35] that sums up to the target integer 42. The function will return True because 12 + 30 = 42.
