Array thirds with equal sums in JavaScript
Problem
We are required to write a JavaScript function that takes in an array of integers as the first and the only argument. Our function should return true if and only if we can partition the array into three non-empty parts with equal sums, false otherwise.
For example, if the input to the function is −
const arr = [3, 3, 6, 5, -2, 2, 5, 1, -9, 4];
Then the output should be −
const output = true;
Output Explanation
Because,
3 + 3 = 6 = 5 - 2 + 2 + 5 + 1 - 9 + 4
Example
The code for this will be −
const arr = [3, 3, 6, 5, -2, 2, 5, 1, -9, 4];
const thirdSum = (arr = []) => {
const sum = arr.reduce((acc, val) => acc + val, 0);
if(!Number.isInteger(sum / 3)){
return false;
};
let count = 0;
let curr = 0;
const target = sum / 3;
for(const num of arr){
curr += num;
if(curr === target){
curr = 0;
count += 1;
};
};
return count === 3 && curr === 0;
};
console.log(thirdSum(arr));Output
And the output in the console will be −
true
