Given an array of integers arr, the task is to check if there is a subarray (except the given array) such that the sum of its elements is greater than or equal to the sum of elements of the given array. If no such subarray is possible, print No, else print Yes.
Examples: 
 

Input: arr = {5, 6, 7, 8} 
Output: No 
Explanation: 
There isn’t any subarray of the given array such that sum of its elements is greater than or equal to the sum of elements of given array.
Input: arr = {-1, 7, 4} 
Output: Yes 
Explanation: 
There exist a subarray {7, 4} whose sum is greater than the sum of elements of given array. 
 

 

Approach: Subarray with sum greater than the sum of original array is possible only in one of two conditions 
 

  • If the sum of all elements of the given array is less than or equal to 0
  • If there exists a prefix or suffix subarray whose sum is negative

So check if the sum of all possible prefix and suffix subarray is less than or equal to zero, the answer is Yes. Else the answer is No.
Below is the implementation of the above approach 
 

C++




// C++ program to check if a subarray exists
// with sum greater than the given Array
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Function to check whether there exists
// a subarray whose sum is greater than
// or equal to sum of given array elements
int subarrayPossible(int arr[], int n)
{
    // Initialize sum with 0
    int sum = 0;
 
    // Checking possible prefix subarrays.
    // If sum of them is less than or equal
    // to zero, then return 1
    for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
        sum += arr[i];
 
        if (sum <= 0)
            return 1;
    }
 
    // again reset sum to zero
    sum = 0;
 
    // Checking possible suffix subarrays.
    // If sum of them is less than or equal
    // to zero, then return 1
    for (int i = n - 1; i >= 0; i--) {
        sum += arr[i];
 
        if (sum <= 0)
            return 1;
    }
 
    // Otherwise return 0
    return 0;
}
 
// Driver Code
int main()
{
    int arr[] = { 10, 5, -12, 7, -10, 20,
                  30, -10, 50, 60 };
 
    int size = sizeof(arr) / sizeof(arr[0]);
 
    if (subarrayPossible(arr, size))
        cout << "Yes"
             << "\n";
    else
        cout << "No"
             << "\n";
 
    return 0;
}

    static boolean subarrayPossible(int arr[], int n)
    {
        // Initialize sum with 0
        int sum = 0;
     
        // Checking possible prefix subarrays.
        // If sum of them is less than or equal
        // to zero, then return 1
        for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
            sum += arr[i];
     
            if (sum <= 0)
                return true;
        }
     
        // again reset sum to zero
        sum = 0;
     
        // Checking possible suffix subarrays.

        for (int i = n - 1; i >= 0; i--) {
            sum += arr[i];
     
            if (sum <= 0)
                return true;
        }
     
        // Otherwise return 0
        return false;
    }
     
    // Driver Code
    public static void main(String args[])
    {
        int arr[] = { 10, 5, -12, 7, -10, 20, 30, -10, 50, 60 };
     
        int size = arr.length;
     
        if (subarrayPossible(arr, size))
            System.out.print("Yes"+"\n");
        else
            System.out.print("No"+"\n");
    }

Yes

 

Performance Analysis
 

  • Time Complexity: In the above approach, we are iterating over the array of length N twice, so the time complexity is O(N)
     
  • Auxiliary Space Complexity: In the above approach, we are using only a few constants, so auxiliary space complexity is O(1).
