Subarray Sum Equals K (medium)

Problem Statement

Given an array nums containing n integers and integer k, return the total number of subarrays having sum equal to k.

A subarray is defined as a contiguous non-empty sequence of the array elements.

Examples

Example 1:

  • Input: nums = [1, 2, 3], k = 3
  • Expected Output: 2
  • Justification: There are two subarrays that sum to 3: [1, 2] and [3].

Example 2:

  • Input: nums = [10, 2, -2, -20, 10], k = -10
  • Expected Output: 3
  • Justification: Three subarrays sum up to -10: [10, 2, -2, -20], [2, -2, -20, 10], and [-20, 10].

Example 3:

  • Input: nums = [5, 1, 2, -3, 4, -2], k = 3
  • Expected Output: 2
  • Justification: There are two subarrays that sum to 3: [2, -3, 4], and [1, 2].
