<p>You are given an integer array <code>nums</code> and an integer <code>k</code>.</p>

<p>In one operation, you can pick two numbers from the array whose sum equals <code>k</code> and remove them from the array.</p>

<p>Return <em>the maximum number of operations you can perform on the array</em>.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong class="example">Example 1:</strong></p>

<pre>
<strong>Input:</strong> nums = [1,2,3,4], k = 5
<strong>Output:</strong> 2
<strong>Explanation:</strong> Starting with nums = [1,2,3,4]:
- Remove numbers 1 and 4, then nums = [2,3]
- Remove numbers 2 and 3, then nums = []
There are no more pairs that sum up to 5, hence a total of 2 operations.</pre>

<p><strong class="example">Example 2:</strong></p>

<pre>
<strong>Input:</strong> nums = [3,1,3,4,3], k = 6
<strong>Output:</strong> 1
<strong>Explanation:</strong> Starting with nums = [3,1,3,4,3]:
- Remove the first two 3&#39;s, then nums = [1,4,3]
There are no more pairs that sum up to 6, hence a total of 1 operation.</pre>

<p><strong>Constraints:</strong></p>

<ul>
	<li><code>1 &lt;= nums.length &lt;= 10<sup>5</sup></code></li>
	<li><code>1 &lt;= nums[i] &lt;= 10<sup>9</sup></code></li>
	<li><code>1 &lt;= k &lt;= 10<sup>9</sup></code></li>
</ul>

                pt1 += 1
                pt2 = pt2 - 1
            elif (nums[pt1] +nums[pt2] <k ):
                pt1 = pt1 +1
            else:
                pt2 = pt2 - 1
            print(pt1)
            print(pt2)
        return count
