Contiguous Array Problem


Description

LeetCode Problem 525.

Given a binary array nums, return the maximum length of a contiguous subarray with an equal number of 0 and 1.

Example 1:

1
2
3
Input: nums = [0,1]
Output: 2
Explanation: [0, 1] is the longest contiguous subarray with an equal number of 0 and 1.

Example 2:

1
2
3
Input: nums = [0,1,0]
Output: 2
Explanation: [0, 1] (or [1, 0]) is a longest contiguous subarray with equal number of 0 and 1.

Constraints:

  • 1 <= nums.length <= 10^5
  • nums[i] is either 0 or 1.

        for(int i = 0; i < nums.size(); i++) {
            sum += nums[i]==1 ? 1 : -1;
            if(seen.count(sum)) 
                maxLen = max(maxLen, i-seen[sum]);
            else 
                seen[sum] = i;
        }
        return maxLen;
    }
};
