209. Minimum Size Subarray Sum

Minimum Size Subarray Sum

Given an array of n positive integers and a positive integer s, find the minimal length of a contiguous subarray of which the sum ≥ s. If there isn't one, return 0 instead.

For example, given the array [2,3,1,2,4,3] and s = 7, the subarray [4,3] has the minimal length under the problem constraint.

If you have figured out the O(n) solution, try coding another solution of which the time complexity is O(n log n).

Solution

public class Solution {
 public int minSubArrayLen(int s, int[] nums) {
        if (nums == null || nums.length == 0) return 0;

        int left = 0;
        int right = 0;
        int sum = nums[0];
        int result = Integer.MAX_VALUE;
        boolean flag = false;
        while (right < nums.length) {
            if (sum >= s) {
                if (right == left) {
                    return 1;
                }

                result = Math.min(right - left + 1, result);
                flag = true;
                sum -= nums[left];
                left++;
            } else {
                right++;

                if (right < nums.length) {
                    sum += nums[right];
                }
            }
        }

        if (flag) {
            return result;
        } else {
            return 0;
        }
    }
