    Problem

    You are given an array of integers nums and an integer target.

    Return **the number of *non-empty* subsequences of nums such that the sum of the minimum and maximum element on it is less or equal to **target. Since the answer may be too large, return it *modulo* 10^9 + 7.

      Example 1:

    Input: nums = [3,5,6,7], target = 9
    Output: 4
    Explanation: There are 4 subsequences that satisfy the condition.
    [3] -> Min value + max value <= target (3 + 3 <= 9)
    [3,5] -> (3 + 5 <= 9)
    [3,5,6] -> (3 + 6 <= 9)
    [3,6] -> (3 + 6 <= 9)
    

    Example 2:

    Input: nums = [3,3,6,8], target = 10
    Output: 6
    Explanation: There are 6 subsequences that satisfy the condition. (nums can have repeated numbers).
    [3] , [3] , [3,3], [3,6] , [3,6] , [3,3,6]
    

    Example 3:

    Input: nums = [2,3,3,4,6,7], target = 12
    Output: 61
    Explanation: There are 63 non-empty subsequences, two of them do not satisfy the condition ([6,7], [7]).
    Number of valid subsequences (63 - 2 = 61).

    Solution (Java)

    class Solution {
        public int numSubseq(int[] nums, int target) {
            // sorted array will be used to perform binary search
            Arrays.sort(nums);
            int mod = 1000_000_007;
            // powOf2[i] means (2^i) % mod
            int[] powOf2 = new int[nums.length];
            powOf2[0] = 1;
            for (int i = 1; i < nums.length; i++) {
                powOf2[i] = (powOf2[i - 1] * 2) % mod;
            }
            int res = 0;
            int left = 0;
            int right = nums.length - 1;
            while (left <= right) {
                if (nums[left] + nums[right] > target) {
                    // nums[right] which is macimum is too big so decrease it
                    right--;
                } else {
                    // every number between right and left be either picked or not picked
                    // so that is why pow(2, right - left) essentially
                    res = (res + powOf2[right - left]) % mod;
                    // increment left to find next set of min and max
                    left++;
                }
            }
            return res;
        }
    }
