When I first started DSA, I was just so scared of the code and knowing very little about the logic and the intuition behind but Striver you are the one who has ever showed the completely difference - Extreme natural approach and observation and crystal clear logic. You've made the coding fun and interesting toward people like me. Hats off for your dedication! Understood!

i am doing his dsa sheet , the array part and almost every question has a completely different logic and approach and its becoming quite frustrating as im not able to come up with the solutions so do i just keep solving more problems or am i doing something wrong

could you please tell if i should make notes ?? how do i make them so that i dont put hours in it
I saw this video at around 10 am in college, was only able to think of o(n²) solution, I took the pause at your hint of using prefix sum array, kept thinking for some time while in college lectures but was able to get the solution at around 6pm 😝, I know it took time but it felt good to actually think of the solution, please keep up the consistency
This man is my hero, I struggled so much with this question to visualize it and subsequent problems like it. I've done ove 270 LC questions, but this man made it so simple
Just when I think the video is getting long enough for a simple problem, I go search the web and find not a single tutor with such a powerful explanation!
understood bhaiya . You can not even imagine how much people love u and praise you and speak about your videos all the time. I am sure u get hiccups every now and then . Live long bhaiya u are our real teacher.
Its really amazing that you are taking your time in explaining via the dry run. It helps me a lot. Thanks :)
I saw many times but I couldn't understand...But now i finally understood and realised that ur explaination is too good...!
Thank you so much. I saw many other youtuber's video but this video is the best . I was able to understand after watching this video for 2 times
This explanation is so 100x better than Neetcode's. Thank you !!!
16:29 if we write if(sum==k) count++ We don't need to include 0 at beginning

That's really amazing 🤩Striver! code is too sort but logic is superb for the optimal. from brute (TC-> O(N^2), SC -> O(1)) to optimal (TC -> O(N) when using unordered_map, O(N * log N) when using ordered map, SC -> O(N) for using map data structure.
Instead of adding 0 in the hashmap, we can just use the statement if(sum==k) ans++; That works fine. See the Below Code int subarraySum(vector& nums, int k) { int ans=0; unordered_map x; int sum=0; for(int i=0;i

Excellent explanation yaar! Great to see such kind of explanations that guide from brute force to optimised solution in such a detail! Thank you so much and keep making such great videos :)
thanks striver you have really explained this so well god bless you you are a wonderful teacher for many 🙏🙏
Understood Bhaiya! This was a tough one to understand for me...will soon revisit it Thank you🙏
So here, if in the question it is stated that it contains only positive as in codestudio then we can apply 2-pointer(Sliding window) as done in longest subarray with sum k. TC: O(N) SC: O(1) Else, if it contains both positive and negative HashMap is optimal
Excellent explanation, understood ! ✨

Really good explanation & kudos to efforts, understood 👍

Thanks for the great video. I don't see how I can come up with the optimal solution during the interview without hint from the interviewer.
Hi bhaiya it would be really helpful if you can give similar question links for practise after every question explanation!!
Understood💖amazing explanation
for me optimal is little hard but after see 2-3 time video , got easly understand
Sir, May I know time complexity of the optimal approach in java
understood sir ,great explanation
tks for explanation, you are savior
The sliding window approach actually performs better with O(n) time complexity. int subarraySum(vector& nums, int sum) { int count = 0; int currSum = 0; unordered_map sumFreq; for (int i = 0; i currSum += nums[i]; if (currSum == sum) count++; if (sumFreq.find(currSum - sum) != sumFreq.end()) count += sumFreq[currSum - sum]; sumFreq[currSum]++; // If currSum becomes greater than sum, // subtract elements from the start while (currSum > sum) { currSum -= nums[i - count + 1]; sumFreq[currSum]--; if (sumFreq[currSum] == 0) sumFreq.erase(currSum); count--; } } return count; }
22:54 *please explain what lines* int remove = presum - k; count += mp[remove]; mp[presum]++; do ?
understood captain...thanks
Can we do this first calculate the prefix sum and than suffix sum and than we subtract each and sum the prefix and suffix
if instead of specifying map[0]=1 in the beginning if we give a condition that if(preSum == k) { count ++;} Will it be correct Striver bhaiya??
understood ,thnx for amazing video ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Understood, thank you.
Understood, thanks!
though I am still figuring out on the map[0]=1 part but surely the rest of the part was indeed clear. thanks for these videos.

Awesome explanation, one approach of sliding window will not work in this problem if array contains negative elements also.
What if the array contains 0s?
understood , but took tom much time to understood how to update the frequency if there exist a prefix sum in the HashMap
Can you pls pls plsssss do strings before binary search next plsss🙏 ? From 2023 batch🥺. Wish we could have the entire series in our 1st 2nd 3rd yrs
why can't the map be incremented before computing the count ???
Understood!
Understood✅🔥🔥
very nice. .thankyou
Regarding putting (0,1) int the Hashmap initally : Let consider somehow the preSum got exactly equal to our k, means now the sub-array till that presum element gives us the k (~ preSum-k = 0). means whenever we find our preSum touching the k value, we need to increment count but we will not be able to find it in hashMap as it is yet to be inserted that why either increment count based on if preSum-k = 0 or put a (0,1) in hashmap to automatically finding preSum-k = 0 in the hashMap. int preSum = 0, count = 0, start = 0; Map mp = new HashMap(); for(int i=0;i
Awesome Awesome Sir...............
understood striver thanks
Understood !! 😍😍
Thank you!!
nice ..........explanation
i still don't get the significance of (0,1) in the map, my answer still got submitted in Leetcode.
we can also use sliding window 2 pointer approach for this one code-> int findAllSubarraysWithGivenSum(vector & arr, int k) { int n =arr.size(),sum = 0,cnt = 0,left = 0; for(int right = 0;right k) sum-=arr[left++]; if(sum == k) cnt++; } return cnt; }

thank you so much
We can also solve this problem in O(1) space complexity but the T.C will be 2N using two pointer approach.
mpp[0] = 1 helps us to take the count when (sum == k ). Because when sum will be k, then remove will be 0. And then mpp[1] will give us 0, which will be added to the count. If we don't store 0 to our map. then we need to handle the case in an extra if condtion. which is if(sum == k) count++;
Understood 🎉
Bhaiya ye Question ka video dekhne se phale hoo gaya 😁😁Only Minor change int findAllSubarraysWithGivenSum(vector & nums, int k) { int right = 0; int left = 0; int count = 0; long long sum = nums[0]; int n = nums.size(); while(right while(left k){ sum = sum - nums[left]; left++; } if(sum == k){ count++; } right++; if(right sum+=nums[right]; } } return count; }
Understood ❤
Storing (0,1) in the hashmap is bit confusing, instead we can just increase a check i.e. if(currSum == k) count++. The more readable code(JAVA) will look like this: public int subarraySum(int[] nums, int k) { int currSum = 0, count = 0; int n = nums.length; HashMap map = new HashMap(); for(int i=0; i
Understood❤❤
Why cant we use sliding window approach here
Hey Strivers Good explanation ❤ Can you just change the gfg link of this question it redirect to same page. Once again thank you 👍
The Best♥
underrstood
❓ You mentioned performing a dry run on the array [3, -3, 1, 1, 1] to understand the significance of initially putting (0, 1) in the map. However, it hasn't been specified which sum we should consider for this particular dry run.
@sahilnayak9000

Although i understood, if we didn't want to put initially that or if we find it challenging to understand its significance. there is an alternative approach to handle the situation. Another way is when currentSum - given_sum == 0 we just need to increment counter. that's it we can omit to put initially (0,1) pair in map.
UNDERSTOOD
Understood😁😉
understood!!!
Without adding to map, you need to count occurrences still not in map public int subarraySum(int[] nums, int k) { int sum=0; int count =0; Map map = new HashMap(); for(int i=0;i
