1658. Minimum Operations to Reduce X to Zero

https://leetcode.com/problems/minimum-operations-to-reduce-x-to-zero/

solution

• 任务转化为求等于(sum-x)的最长子串，等于时更新结果

class Solution:
    def minOperations(self, nums: List[int], x: int) -> int:
        target = sum(nums) - x

        l = 0
        prefix_sum = 0
        res = 0
        found = False
        for r, num in enumerate(nums):
            prefix_sum += num

            while l <= r and prefix_sum > target:
                prefix_sum -= nums[l]
                l += 1

            if prefix_sum == target:
                found = True
                res = max(res, r - l + 1)

        return len(nums) - res if found else -1
