Description
Given an array of n positive integers and a positive integer s, find the minimal length of a contiguous subarray of which the sum ≥ s. If there isn’t one, return 0 instead.
For example, given the array [2,3,1,2,4,3] and s = 7,
the subarray [4,3] has the minimal length under the problem constraint.
Code
- Two Pointers
用两个指针P1,P2,前者去控制>=S满足的INDEX位置,后者去控制扣除前面的若干个位置
class Solution(object):
def minSubArrayLen(self, s, nums):
"""
:type s: int
:type nums: List[int]
:rtype: int
"""
ret = len(nums)+1
ss = 0
p1 = 0
p2 = 0
while(ss<s and p1<len(nums)):
ss = ss + nums[p1]
p1 = p1+1
while(ss>=s):
ret = min(ret,p1-p2)
ss = ss - nums[p2]
p2 = p2 + 1
if ret == len(nums)+1:
return 0
return ret
