Description

You are given an array of positive integers nums.

Count and print the number of (contiguous) subarrays where the product of all the elements in the subarray is less than k.

Example 1:

Input: nums = [10, 5, 2, 6], k = 100

Output: 8

Explanation: The 8 subarrays that have product less than 100 are: [10], [5], [2], [6], [10, 5], [5, 2], [2, 6], [5, 2, 6].

Note that [10, 5, 2] is not included as the product of 100 is not strictly less than k.

Note:

0 < nums.length <= 50000.
0 < nums[i] < 1000.
0 <= k < 10^6.

Solution

Initialize product = 1, count = 0, start = 0 and end = 0. Loop over nums using end as the index. Each time let product *= nums[end]. If product >= k, then do product /= nums[start++] until product < k. Then calculate the length of the current subarray, which is end - start + 1. The length of the current subarray is also the number of subarrays with product less than k and ends at index end. Add the length of the current subarray to count. Finally, return count.

Java Code

public class Subarray_Product_Less_Than_K {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Subarray_Product_Less_Than_K out = new Subarray_Product_Less_Than_K();
        Solution s = out.new Solution();

        System.out.println(s.numSubarrayProductLessThanK(new int[]{10, 5, 2, 6}, 100));
    }

    class Solution {
        public int numSubarrayProductLessThanK(int[] nums, int k) {
            if (k == 0) {
                return 0;
            }

            // log transformation: log(a*b) = log(a) + log(b)
            double logk = Math.log(k);
            double[] prefix = new double[nums.length + 1];
            for (int i = 0; i < nums.length; i++) {
                prefix[i+1] = prefix[i] + Math.log(nums[i]);
            }

            int count = 0;
            for (int i = 0; i < prefix.length; i++) {
                int lo = i + 1, hi = prefix.length;
                while (lo < hi) {
                    int mi = lo + (hi - lo) / 2;
                    if (prefix[mi] < prefix[i] + logk - 1e-9) {
                        lo = mi + 1;
                    } else {
                        hi = mi;
                    }
                }
                count += lo - i - 1;
            }
            return count;
        }
    }

    // I don't like this one, seems hack. Will still fail according to input
    // what if test case is [9,9,9, ... ,9] (many) and k=1

            if (k < 2) {
