Number of subarrays having sum in a given range

22 Apr, 2021
Given an array arr[] of positive integers and a range (L, R). Find the number of subarrays having sum in the range L to R.Examples:  
Input : arr[] = {1, 4, 6}, L = 3, R = 8
Output : 3
The subarrays are {1, 4}, {4}, {6}.

Input : arr[] = {2, 3, 5, 8}, L = 4, R = 13
Output : 6
The subarrays are {2, 3}, {2, 3, 5}, {3, 5},
{5}, {5, 8}, {8}.
 
A simple solution is to one by one consider each subarray and find its sum. If the sum lies in the range [L, R], then increment the count. The time complexity of this solution is O(n^2).An efficient solution is to first find the number of subarrays having sum less than or equal to R. From this count, subtract the number of subarrays having sum less than or equal to L-1. To find the number of subarrays having sum less than or equal to the given value, the linear time method using the sliding window discussed in the following post is used: Number of subarrays having sum less than or equal to k.Below is the implementation of above approach: 
C++
Java
C#
Python 3
PHP
Javascript
