Example solution for Two Sum problem in C#:

public class Solution {
    public int[] TwoSum(int[] nums, int target) {
        for (int i = 0; i < nums.Length; i++) {
            for (int j = i + 1; j < nums.Length; j++) {
                if (nums[i] + nums[j] == target) return new int[2] { i, j };
            } 
        } 
      return null;
    }
}
