Contiguous subarray with 0 and 1 in JavaScript
Problem:
We are required to write a JavaScript function that takes in a binary array, arr, (an array that only consists of 0 or 1). Our function should return the length of the contiguous subarray from the array that consists of the same number of 1 and 0.
For example, if the input to the function is −
const arr = [1, 0, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 0];
Then the output should be −
const output = 6;
Output Explanation
The first 6 elements of the array are 1, 0, 0, 1, 0, 1 (three 1s and three 0s)
Example
The code for this will be −
const arr = [1, 0, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 0];
const findMaxLength = (arr = []) => {
const { length } = arr;
if (length < 2){
return 0
};
const map = new Map();
map.set(0, -1);
let sum = 0;
let max = 0;
for (var i = 0; i < length; i++) {
sum += arr[i] === 0 ? -1 : 1;
if (map.has(sum)) {
max = Math.max(max, i - map.get(sum));
} else {
map.set(sum, i);
};
};
return max;
};
console.log(findMaxLength(arr));Code Explanation
Here, we thought of 0 as -1 and 1 as 1, and calculated the sum for different windows, when sum is 0, we knew that subarray must have the same number of 0 and 1.
Output
And the output in the console will be −
