You are given two integer arrays nums1 and nums2. Your task is to implement a data structure that supports two types of operations: 1) Add a value to an element in nums2. 2) Count the number of pairs (i, j) such that nums1[i] + nums2[j] equals a given total value.

Input: The input consists of two integer arrays nums1 and nums2. The operations you will perform on these arrays are add(index, val) and count(tot).
Example: [[2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 4], [2, 5, 6, 3, 6, 5]]
Constraints:
• 1 <= nums1.length <= 1000
• 1 <= nums2.length <= 10^5
• 1 <= nums1[i], nums2[i] <= 10^9
• 0 <= index < nums2.length
• 1 <= val <= 10^5
• 1 <= tot <= 10^9
• At most 1000 calls to add and count
Output: The output consists of results for each count operation, representing the number of valid pairs where nums1[i] + nums2[j] equals the given total.
Example: [null, 10, null, 3, 2, null, null, 15]
Constraints:
• For each count operation, return the count of valid pairs.
Goal: Efficiently count pairs for each query and update the nums2 array with add operations.
Steps:
• Use a hash map to store the frequency of elements in nums2.
• For each count operation, iterate through nums1 and check how many values in nums2 match the required sum.
• For add operations, update the corresponding value in nums2 and adjust the frequency map.
Goal: Constraints on array sizes and values to ensure efficient computation.
Steps:
• 1 <= nums1.length <= 1000
• 1 <= nums2.length <= 10^5
• 1 <= nums1[i] <= 10^9
• 1 <= nums2[i] <= 10^5
• At most 1000 operations in total.
Assumptions:
• The input arrays nums1 and nums2 are valid and within the constraints.
Input: [[2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 4], [2, 5, 6, 3, 6, 5]]
Explanation: In this example, there are multiple pairs that sum to the target values, and after performing add operations, the pairs change.
