Description


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.

Β 

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.

Β 

Constraints:

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

Solution


Python3

class Solution:
    def countSubarrays(self, nums: List[int]) -> int:
        N = len(nums)
        res = 0
 
        for i in range(2, N):
            first, second, third = nums[i - 2], nums[i - 1], nums[i]
 
            if (first + third) * 2 == second:
                res += 1
        
        return res
