2845. Count of Interesting Subarrays

Description

You are given a 0-indexed integer array nums, an integer modulo, and an integer k.

Your task is to find the count of subarrays that are interesting.

A subarray nums[l..r] is interesting if the following condition holds:

  • Let cnt be the number of indices i in the range [l, r] such that nums[i] % modulo == k. Then, cnt % modulo == k.

Return an integer denoting the count of interesting subarrays.

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

 

Example 1:

Input: nums = [3,2,4], modulo = 2, k = 1
Output: 3
Explanation: In this example the interesting subarrays are: 
The subarray nums[0..0] which is [3]. 
- There is only one index, i = 0, in the range [0, 0] that satisfies nums[i] % modulo == k. 
- Hence, cnt = 1 and cnt % modulo == k.  
The subarray nums[0..1] which is [3,2].
- There is only one index, i = 0, in the range [0, 1] that satisfies nums[i] % modulo == k.  
- Hence, cnt = 1 and cnt % modulo == k.
The subarray nums[0..2] which is [3,2,4]. 
- There is only one index, i = 0, in the range [0, 2] that satisfies nums[i] % modulo == k. 
- Hence, cnt = 1 and cnt % modulo == k. 
It can be shown that there are no other interesting subarrays. So, the answer is 3.

Example 2:

Input: nums = [3,1,9,6], modulo = 3, k = 0
Output: 2
Explanation: In this example the interesting subarrays are: 
The subarray nums[0..3] which is [3,1,9,6]. 
- There are three indices, i = 0, 2, 3, in the range [0, 3] that satisfy nums[i] % modulo == k. 
- Hence, cnt = 3 and cnt % modulo == k. 
The subarray nums[1..1] which is [1]. 
- There is no index, i, in the range [1, 1] that satisfies nums[i] % modulo == k. 
- Hence, cnt = 0 and cnt % modulo == k. 
It can be shown that there are no other interesting subarrays. So, the answer is 2.

 

Constraints:

  • 1 <= nums.length <= 105
  • 1 <= nums[i] <= 109
  • 1 <= modulo <= 109
  • 0 <= k < modulo

Solutions

Solution 1: Hash Table + Prefix Sum

The problem requires the number of indices $i$ in an interval that satisfy $nums[i] \bmod modulo = k$. We can transform the array $nums$ into a $0-1$ array $arr$, where $arr[i] = 1$ indicates $nums[i] \bmod modulo = k$, otherwise $arr[i] = 0$.

For an interval $[l, r]$, we can calculate the number of $1$s in $arr[l..r]$ through the prefix sum array $s$, i.e., $s[r] - s[l - 1]$, where $s[0] = 0$.

We use a hash table $cnt$ to record the number of occurrences of the prefix sum $s \bmod modulo$, initially $cnt[0]=1$.

Next, we traverse the array $arr$, calculate the prefix sum $s$, add the number of occurrences of $(s-k) \bmod modulo$ to the answer, and then add $1$ to the number of occurrences of $s \bmod modulo$.

After the traversal ends, return the answer.

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