Solution: Subarray Sum Equals K

Explore how to determine the total number of subarrays whose sum equals a target value k by using prefix sums and hash maps. Learn to implement an O(n) time complexity solution, track prefix sums efficiently, and count valid subarrays in a single pass through the array.

Statement

Given an array of integers nums and an integer k, determine the total number of subarrays whose sum is exactly equal to k.

Note: A subarray is a contiguous, non empty sequence of elements within an array.

Constraints:

  • 11 \leq nums.length 2×104\leq 2 \times 10^4

  • 1000-1000 \leq ...
