Find maximum length sublist with sum `S` present in a given list code example
Example: Find maximum length sublist with sum `S` present in a given list
def findMaxLenSublist(A, S):
# create an empty dictionary to store the ending index of the first
# sublist having some sum
dict = {}
# insert `(0, -1)` pair into the set to handle the case when a
# sublist with sum `S` starts from index 0
dict[0] = -1
sum = 0
# `length` stores the maximum length of sublist with sum `S`
length = 0
# stores ending index of the maximum length sublist having sum `S`
ending_index = -1
# traverse the given list
for i in range(len(A)):
# sum of elements so far
sum += A[i]
# if the sum is seen for the first time, insert the sum with its
# into the dictionary
if sum not in dict:
dict[sum] = i
# update length and ending index of the maximum length sublist
# having sum `S`
if sum - S in dict and length < i - dict[sum - S]:
length = i - dict[sum - S]
ending_index = i
# print the sublist
print((ending_index - length + 1, ending_index))
