Let's create two arrays prefix and suffix where prefix[i] is the minimum length of sub-array ends before i and has sum = k, suffix[i] is the minimum length of sub-array starting at or after i and has sum = k.

The answer we are searching for is min(prefix[i] + suffix[i]) for all values of i from 0 to n-1 where n == arr.length.

If you are still stuck with how to build prefix and suffix, you can store for each index i the length of the sub-array starts at i and has sum = k or infinity otherwise, and you can use it to build both prefix and suffix.
