# Given an array of integers numbers that is already sorted in ascending order, find two numbers such that they add up to a specific target number.

# Return the indices of the two numbers (1-indexed) as an integer array answer of size 2, where 1 <= answer[0] < answer[1] <= numbers.length.

# You may assume that each input would have exactly one solution and you may not use the same element twice.

#
# Approach 1: Two pointers
#

# Complexity analysis

# Time complexity: O(n). Each of the n elements is visited at
# most once, thus the time complexity is O(n).

# Space complexity: O(1). We only use two indexes, the space
# complexity is O(1).
