Sliding Window Technique - Part 12
The control pointer here is the left (slow) pointer. There is probably some optimization that can be done to jump the left pointer far ahead if needed, but even with the slow movement one can achieve O(N) (in 2*N). Code is down below, cheers, ACC. Count Subarrays Where Max Element Appears at Least K Times - LeetCode 2962. Count Subarrays Where Max Element Appears at Least K Times Medium 257 13 Add to List Share You are given an integer array nums and a positive integer k . Return the number of subarrays where the maximum element of nums appears at least k times in that subarray. A subarray is a contiguous sequence of elements within an array. Example 1: Input: nums = [1,3,2,3,3], k = 2 Output: 6 Explanation: The subarrays that contain the element 3 at least 2 times are: [1,3,2,3], [1,3,2,3,3], [3,2,3], [3,2,3,3], [2,3,3] and [3,3]. Example 2: Input: nums = [1,4,2,1], k = 3 Output: 0 Explanation: No subarray contains the element 4 at least 3 times. Constraints:
