2574. Left and Right Sum Differences share

Problem Statement

Given a 0-indexed integer array nums, find a 0-indexed integer array answer where:

  • answer.length == nums.length.
  • answer[i] = |leftSum[i] - rightSum[i]|.

Where:

  • leftSum[i] is the sum of elements to the left of the index i in the array nums. If there is no such element, leftSum[i] = 0.
  • rightSum[i] is the sum of elements to the right of the index i in the array nums. If there is no such element, rightSum[i] = 0.

Return the array answer.

 

Example 1:

Input: nums = [10,4,8,3]
Output: [15,1,11,22]
Explanation: The array leftSum is [0,10,14,22] and the array rightSum is [15,11,3,0].
The array answer is [|0 - 15|,|10 - 11|,|14 - 3|,|22 - 0|] = [15,1,11,22].

Example 2:

Input: nums = [1]
Output: [0]
Explanation: The array leftSum is [0] and the array rightSum is [0].
The array answer is [|0 - 0|] = [0].

 

Constraints:

  • 1 <= nums.length <= 1000
  • 1 <= nums[i] <= 105

  • For each index i, maintain two variables leftSum and rightSum.
  • Iterate on the range j: [0 … i - 1] and add nums[j] to the leftSum and similarly iterate on the range j: [i + 1 … nums.length - 1] and add nums[j] to the rightSum.

Solution:

rs
impl Solution {
    pub fn left_rigth_difference(nums: Vec<i32>) -> Vec<i32> {
        let mut result = vec![];

        let sum = nums.iter().sum::<i32>();
        let mut left_sum = 0;

        for i in 0..nums.len() {
            let right_sum = sum - left_sum - nums[i];
            result.push((left_sum - right_sum).abs());
            left_sum += nums[i];
        }

        result
    }
}
