LC 992. Subarrays with K Different Integers

Posted 2021-02-08 ethanhong

Given an array A of positive integers, call a (contiguous, not necessarily distinct) subarray of A good if the number of different integers in that subarray is exactly K.

(For example, [1,2,3,1,2] has 3 different integers: 1, 2, and 3.)

Return the number of good subarrays of A.

 

Example 1:

Input: A = [1,2,1,2,3], K = 2
Output: 7
Explanation: Subarrays formed with exactly 2 different integers: [1,2], [2,1], [1,2], [2,3], [1,2,1], [2,1,2], [1,2,1,2].

Example 2:

Input: A = [1,2,1,3,4], K = 3
Output: 3
Explanation: Subarrays formed with exactly 3 different integers: [1,2,1,3], [2,1,3], [1,3,4].

 

Note:

1. 1 <= A.length <= 20000
2. 1 <= A[i] <= A.length
3. 1 <= K <= A.length
