Description

You are given an integer array nums and an integer k. Find the maximum subarray sum of all the subarrays of nums that meet the following conditions:

  • The length of the subarray is k, and
  • All the elements of the subarray are distinct.

Return the maximum subarray sum of all the subarrays that meet the conditions. If no subarray meets the conditions, return 0.

A subarray is a contiguous non-empty sequence of elements within an array.

 

Example 1:

Input: nums = [1,5,4,2,9,9,9], k = 3
Output: 15
Explanation: The subarrays of nums with length 3 are:
- [1,5,4] which meets the requirements and has a sum of 10.
- [5,4,2] which meets the requirements and has a sum of 11.
- [4,2,9] which meets the requirements and has a sum of 15.
- [2,9,9] which does not meet the requirements because the element 9 is repeated.
- [9,9,9] which does not meet the requirements because the element 9 is repeated.
We return 15 because it is the maximum subarray sum of all the subarrays that meet the conditions

Example 2:

Input: nums = [4,4,4], k = 3
Output: 0
Explanation: The subarrays of nums with length 3 are:
- [4,4,4] which does not meet the requirements because the element 4 is repeated.
We return 0 because no subarrays meet the conditions.

 

Constraints:

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

Hints

Hint 1
Which elements change when moving from the subarray of size k that ends at index i to the subarray of size k that ends at index i + 1?
Hint 2
Only two elements change, the element at i + 1 is added into the subarray, and the element at i - k + 1 gets removed from the subarray.
Hint 3
Iterate through each subarray of size k and keep track of the sum of the subarray and the frequency of each element.
