Problem: Count Subarrays With Score Less Than K

hard
40 min
Explore how to apply the sliding window technique to efficiently count subarrays with scores less than a given value. This lesson helps you understand problem constraints, develop a clear approach, and implement a solution that optimizes time complexity for interview success.

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}
