can I just go through the array and do i**2 and then use the python sort() function? Wouldn't this be easier than the two pointer approach?

Yes, you can do this, but it won't be efficient.

Due to sorting, the time complexity of your algorithm will be O(N*logN) and a space complexity of O(N).

The algorithm we suggested take O(N) time and space.
