Find an array of size N having exactly K subarrays with sum S

Given three integers N, K and S, the task is to choose an array of size N such that there exists exactly K sub-arrays with sum S.
Note: There can be many solution arrays to this problem.
Examples: 
 

Input: N = 4, K = 2, S = 3 
Output: 1 2 3 4 
Explanation: 
One of the possible array is [ 1, 2, 3, 4 ] 
There exist exactly two subarrays with sum 3 
Subarrays with Sum(3) = [ [ 1, 2 ], [ 3 ] ]
Input: N = 5, K = 3, S = 50 
Output: 25 25 25 10 40 
Explanation: 
One of the possible array is [ 25, 25, 25, 10, 40 ] 
There exist exactly three subarrays with sum 50 
Subarrays with Sum(50) = [ [ 25, 25 ], [ 25, 25 ], [ 10, 40 ] ] 
 

 

Approach: 
One of the Solution Array for this problem contains S element K times and S+1 element (N-K) times, to form K Sub-arrays of exactly one element with S as sum. If we combine any two or more elements of the array then it will give sum greater than S.
Below is the implementation of the above approach: 
 




// C++ program to find array 
// with K subarrays with sum S
  
#include<bits/stdc++.h> 
using namespace std; 
    
// Function to find array 
// with K subarrays with sum S
void SubarraysWithSumS(int n, int k, int s)
{
    for(int i=0;i<k;i++)
        cout << s << " ";
    for(int i=k;i<n;i++)
        cout << s+1 << " ";
    
// Driver Code
int main() 
    int n = 4, k = 2, s = 3;
      
    // Function call
    SubarraysWithSumS(n, k, s);
    return 0; 




// Java program to find array 
// with K subarrays with sum S
class GFG
      
// Function to find array 
// with K subarrays with sum S
static void SubarraysWithSumS(int n, int k, int s)
{
    for(int i = 0; i < k; i++)
        System.out.print(s + " ");
    for(int i = k; i < n; i++)
        System.out.print(s + 1 + " ");
      
// Driver Code
public static void main(String[] args) 
    int n = 4, k = 2, s = 3;
      
    // Function call
    SubarraysWithSumS(n, k, s);

    for i in range(k):
        print(s, end=" ")
    for i in range(k, n):
        print(s + 1, end = " ")
  
# Driver Code
n = 4
k = 2
s = 3

    for(let i = k; i < n; i++)
