Data Structures for Coding Interviews

Solution: A Sublist with a Sum of 0

Understand how to detect if a consecutive sublist sums to zero by using cumulative sums and hash tables. Explore an efficient O(n) time and space complexity algorithm that helps identify such sublists, improving your problem-solving skills for coding interviews focused on hashing.

We'll cover the following...

Statement

Given a list containing both positive and negative integers, determine if there exists a sublist of consecutive elements whose elements sum to zero. Return TRUE if such a sublist exists; otherwise, return FALSE.

Constraints:

  • 1≤1 \leq lst.length ≤103\leq 10^{3}
