Solution: Subarrays with K Different Integers

Explore how to apply the sliding window pattern to count subarrays containing exactly k distinct integers in a given array. This lesson teaches you to use two pointers and a frequency map to efficiently calculate the result by subtracting counts of subarrays with at most k and at most k-1 distinct integers. Develop a linear time solution that optimizes array manipulation using this essential pattern.

Statement

You are given an integer array nums and an integer k. Your task is to return the number of good subarrays of nums.

A good subarray is a contiguous subarray that contains exactly k distinct integers. For example, in the array [1,2,3,1,2][1, 2, 3, 1, 2], the subarray [1,2,3][1, 2, 3]contains 33 ...
