325. Maximum Size Subarray Sum Eqauls K

Given an array nums and a target value k, find the maximum length of a subarray that sums to k. If there isn’t one, return 0 instead.

Note:
The sum of the entire nums array is guaranteed to fit within the 32-bit signed integer range.

Example 1:
Given nums = [1, -1, 5, -2, 3], k = 3,
return 4. (because the subarray [1, -1, 5, -2] sums to 3 and is the longest)

Example 2:
Given nums = [-2, -1, 2, 1], k = 1,
return 2. (because the subarray [-1, 2] sums to 1 and is the longest)

Can you do it in O(n) time?

解法1:

用prefix sum数组解决, 用一个map记录每一个accumulate sum对应的位置。然后线性扫描一遍加和数组,对于没有见过的数直接加入map,对于见过的就可以判断是否存在dp[i] - k, 注意。这题没有说是否有duplicate,实际是可能的,而我们push进map的都是第一次出现的位置,这样保证了如果找到一个解,一定是最长的一个subarray。
