Problem Statement

Given an array nums with positive numbers and a positive integer target, return the count of contiguous subarrays whose product is less than the target number.

Examples

Example 1:

  • Input: nums = [2, 5, 3, 10], target=30
  • Output: 6
  • Explanation: There are six contiguous subarrays ([2], [5], [2, 5], [3], [5, 3], [10]) whose product is less than the target.

Example 2:

  • Input: nums = [8, 2, 6, 5], target=50
  • Output: 7
  • Explanation: There are seven contiguous subarrays ([8], [2], [8, 2], [6], [2, 6], [5], [6, 5]) whose product is less than the target.

Example 3:

  • Input: nums = [10, 5, 2, 6], k = 0
  • Expected Output: 0
  • Explanation: Subarrays with product less than 0 doesn't exists.

Constraints:

  • 1 <= nums.length <= 3 * 10<sup>4</sup>
  • 1 <= nums[i] <= 1000
  • 0 <= k <= 10<sup>6</sup>
