2841. Maximum Sum of Almost Unique Subarray

Description

You are given an integer array nums and two positive integers m and k.

Return the maximum sum out of all almost unique subarrays of length k of nums. If no such subarray exists, return 0.

A subarray of nums is almost unique if it contains at least m distinct elements.

A subarray is a contiguous non-empty sequence of elements within an array.

 

Example 1:

Input: nums = [2,6,7,3,1,7], m = 3, k = 4
Output: 18
Explanation: There are 3 almost unique subarrays of size k = 4. These subarrays are [2, 6, 7, 3], [6, 7, 3, 1], and [7, 3, 1, 7]. Among these subarrays, the one with the maximum sum is [2, 6, 7, 3] which has a sum of 18.

Example 2:

Input: nums = [5,9,9,2,4,5,4], m = 1, k = 3
Output: 23
Explanation: There are 5 almost unique subarrays of size k. These subarrays are [5, 9, 9], [9, 9, 2], [9, 2, 4], [2, 4, 5], and [4, 5, 4]. Among these subarrays, the one with the maximum sum is [5, 9, 9] which has a sum of 23.

Example 3:

Input: nums = [1,2,1,2,1,2,1], m = 3, k = 3
Output: 0
Explanation: There are no subarrays of size k = 3 that contain at least m = 3 distinct elements in the given array [1,2,1,2,1,2,1]. Therefore, no almost unique subarrays exist, and the maximum sum is 0.

 

Constraints:

• 1 <= nums.length <= 2 * 104
• 1 <= m <= k <= nums.length
• 1 <= nums[i] <= 109

Solutions

Solution 1: Sliding Window + Hash Table

We can traverse the array $nums$, maintain a window of size $k$, use a hash table $cnt$ to count the occurrence of each element in the window, and use a variable $s$ to sum all elements in the window. If the number of different elements in $cnt$ is greater than or equal to $m$, then we update the answer $ans = \max(ans, s)$.

After the traversal ends, return the answer.

The time complexity is $O(n)$, and the space complexity is $O(k)$. Here, $n$ is the length of the array.
