3685. Count Subarrays Of Length Three With A Condition


3685. Count Subarrays of Length Three With a Condition

Easy


Given an integer array nums, return the number of subarrays of length 3 such that the sum of the first and third numbers equals exactly half of the second number.

A subarray is a contiguous non-empty sequence of elements within an array.

 

Example 1:

Input: nums = [1,2,1,4,1]

Output: 1

Explanation:

Only the subarray [1,4,1] contains exactly 3 elements where the sum of the first and third numbers equals half the middle number.

Example 2:

Input: nums = [1,1,1]

Output: 0

Explanation:

[1,1,1] is the only subarray of length 3. However, its first and third numbers do not add to half the middle number.

 

Constraints:

  • 3 <= nums.length <= 100
  • -100 <= nums[i] <= 100

Solution

class Solution {
    public int countSubarrays(int[] nums) {
        int n = nums.length;
        int count = 0, i = 0, j = 2;
        while (j < n) {
            if (2 * (nums[i] + nums[j]) == nums[i + 1]) count++;
            i++; j++;
        }
        return count;
    }
}
