Count Subarrays With Median K - Video Solutions

You are given an array nums of size n consisting of distinct integers from 1 to n and a positive integer k.

Return the number of non-empty subarrays in nums that have a median equal to k.

Note:

• The median of an array is the middle element after sorting the array in ascending order. If the array is of even length, the median is the left middle element.
  • For example, the median of [2,3,1,4] is 2, and the median of [8,4,3,5,1] is 4.
• A subarray is a contiguous part of an array.

 

Example 1:

Input: nums = [3,2,1,4,5], k = 4
Output: 3
Explanation: The subarrays that have a median equal to 4 are: [4], [4,5] and [1,4,5].

Example 2:

Input: nums = [2,3,1], k = 3
Output: 1
Explanation: [3] is the only subarray that has a median equal to 3.

 

Constraints:

• n == nums.length
• 1 <= n <= 105
• 1 <= nums[i], k <= n
• The integers in nums are distinct.
