560 Subarray Sum Equals K

Given an array of integers nums and an integer k, return the total number of subarrays whose sum equals to k. A subarray is a contiguous non-empty sequence of elements within an array.

Example 1:

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

Example 2:

Input: nums = [1,2,3], k = 3
Output: 2

Solution:

class Solution {
    public int subarraySum(int[] nums, int k) {
        int result = 0;
        int sum = 0;
        Map<Integer, Integer> preSum = new HashMap<Integer, Integer>();
        preSum.put(0, 1); 
        // Initialize with 0:1 for the case where the subarray starts from index 0

        for (int i = 0; i < nums.length; i++){

            sum = sum + nums[i];

            if (preSum.containsKey(sum - k)){
                result = result + preSum.get(sum - k);

            }

            preSum.put(sum, preSum.getOrDefault(sum, 0) + 1);
        }
        return result;

    }
}

// TC: O(n)
// SC: O(n)
class Solution {
    public int subarraySum(int[] nums, int k) {
        if (nums == null){
            return Integer.MIN_VALUE;
        }

        Map<Integer, Integer> map = new HashMap<Integer, Integer>();
        int count = 0;
        map.put(0,1);
        int sum = 0;

        for (int i = 0; i < nums.length; i++){
            sum = nums[i] + sum;
            if (map.containsKey(sum - k)){
                count = count + map.get(sum-k); // update global count;
            }
            map.put(sum, map.getOrDefault(sum, 0) + 1);
        }

        return count;

    }
}
