Problem: Count Subarrays With Score Less Than K

Medium
30 min
Explore how to use the sliding window approach to count subarrays whose score, defined as the sum of elements times the length, is less than a given value k. This lesson helps you develop an efficient method to solve array problems by identifying and applying the sliding window pattern.

Statement

An array score is defined as the sum of the array elements multiplied by its length. For example, if the array is [2,1,5][2, 1, 5], then its score is (2+1+5)×3(2 + 1 + 5) \times 3 = 2424.

Given an array of positive integers, nums, and a positive integer k, count and return the number of non-empty subarrays of nums whose score is strictly less than k.

Note:subarray is a contiguous sequence of elements within an array.

Constraints:

  • 11 \leq nums.length 103\leq 10^{3}

  • 11 \leq nums[i] 103\leq 10^{3}

  • 11 \leq k 105\leq 10^{5}
