Asked in companies
You are given an array ‘A’ of length ‘N’, you have to choose an element from any index in this array and delete it. After deleting the element you will get a new array of length ‘N’-1. Your task is to find the number of such arrays of length ‘N’-1 which are good.
Note :
An array is called good if the sum of elements in odd indexes is equal to the sum of elements in even indexes.
For Example :
In array A= [1 2 4 3 6], if we delete A[4]=6, we will get new array B= [1 2 4 3], where B[0] + B[2] = B[1] + B[3] = 5, which means array B is good.
Problem approach
We can maintain four variables ‘leftEvenSum’, ’rightOddSum’,‘leftOddSum’, ‘rightEvenSum’ and solve using them.
