Are you considering that an array of size 1 is beautiful by definition?

No. I am not considering that array to be beautiful. Is it beautiful??

It is, by definition (in opinion of problem setter)

though u are right.but still i am unable to figure out which words of problem setter indicate that array of size 1 is beautiful.Can you please quote that line from which it is clearly indicated.

For size 1, there are no pairs, so “every pair” will always satisfy the conditions.

I m not getting it.For a pair there must be 2 elements but if size is 1 that means no pair exist.So how can it satisfy the conditions which are supposed to be satisfied by pairs?
