https://leetcode.com/problems/subarray-sum-equals-k/description/

Given an array of integers and an integer k, you need to find the total number of continuous subarrays whose sum equals to k.

Example 1:

Input:nums = [1,1,1], k = 2
Output: 2


Note:

1. The length of the array is in range [1, 20,000].
2. The range of numbers in the array is [-1000, 1000] and the range of the integer k is [-1e7, 1e7].

Solution -1: Brute Force

For every pair of i,j, check sum(nums[i:j]) in O(j-i) = O(n)

Time complexity: O(n^3) TLE

Space complexity: O(1)

Solution 0: Brute Force + Prefix sun

Precompute the prefix sum and check sum of nums[i:j] in O(1)

Time complexity: O(n^2)

Space complexity: O(n)

C++

Solution 1: Running Prefix sum

Keep tracking the prefix sums and their counts.

s -> count: how many arrays nums[0:j] (j < i) that has sum of s

cur_sum = sum(nums[0:i])

check how many arrays nums[0:j] (j < i) that has sum (cur_sum – k)

then there are the same number of arrays nums[j+1: i] that have sum k.

Time complexity: O(n)

Space complexity: O(n)

C++

Problem:

Given an integer array nums, find the sum of the elements between indices i and j (i ≤ j), inclusive.

The update(i, val) function modifies nums by updating the element at index i to val.

Example:

Note:

1. The array is only modifiable by the update function.
2. You may assume the number of calls to update and sumRange function is distributed evenly.
