LeetCode 560. Subarray Sum Equals K

Description

https://leetcode.com/problems/subarray-sum-equals-k/

Given an array of integers and an integer k, you need to find the total number of continuous subarrays whose sum equals to k.

Example 1:

Input:nums = [1,1,1], k = 2
Output: 2

Note:

1. The length of the array is in range [1, 20,000].
2. The range of numbers in the array is [-1000, 1000] and the range of the integer k is [-1e7, 1e7].

Python Solution

class Solution:
    def subarraySum(self, nums: List[int], k: int) -> int:
                
        count = 0
        sum = 0
        
        map = {}
        map[0] = 1
                
        for i in range(0, len(nums)):
            sum += nums[i]    
            
            if (sum - k) in map:
                count += map.get(sum - k)
            map[sum] = map.get(sum, 0) + 1
            
        
        return count
