Subarray Sum Equals K
You are given an integer array nums and an integer k. Count the subarrays (contiguous, non-empty) whose elements sum to exactly k. Two subarrays are different if they start or end at different indices, even when their values match.
Arguments
nums— the input arrayk— the target subarray sum
Example
nums = [1,1,1], k = 2
The subarrays [1,1] (indices 0-1) and [1,1] (indices 1-2) both sum to 2, so the answer is 2.
nums = [1,-1,0], k = 0
[1,-1], [1,-1,0], and [0] all sum to 0 → 3.
Constraints
1 <= nums.length <= 2 * 10^4 -1000 <= nums[i] <= 1000 -10^7 <= k <= 10^7 Hidden tests include near-max size for this bound; a slower-than-intended solution TLEs.
Examples
Example 1
Input: [1,1,1] 2 Expected: 2
Example 2
Input: [1,2,3] 3 Expected: 2
Example 3
Input: [1,-1,0] 0 Expected: 3
