Longest Span with same Sum in two Binary arrays
Given two binary arrays, arr1[] and arr2[] of the same size n. Find the length of the longest common span (i, j) where j >= i such that arr1[i] + arr1[i+1] + …. + arr1[j] = arr2[i] + arr2[i+1] + …. + arr2[j].
The expected time complexity is Θ(n).
Examples:
Input: arr1[] = {0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0}; arr2[] = {1, 0, 1, 0, 0, 1}; Output: 4 The longest span with same sum is from index 1 to 4. Input: arr1[] = {0, 1, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1}; arr2[] = {1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0, 1}; Output: 6 The longest span with same sum is from index 1 to 6. Input: arr1[] = {0, 0, 0}; arr2[] = {1, 1, 1}; Output: 0 Input: arr1[] = {0, 0, 1, 0}; arr2[] = {1, 1, 1, 1}; Output: 1

Method 1 (Simple Solution)
One by one by consider same subarrays of both arrays. For all subarrays, compute sums and if sums are same and current length is more than max length, then update max length. Below is C++ implementation of the simple approach.
C++
// A Simple C++ program to find longest common // subarray of two binary arrays with same sum #include<bits/stdc++.h> using namespace std; // Returns length of the longest common subarray // with same sum int longestCommonSum( bool arr1[], bool arr2[], int n) { // Initialize result int maxLen = 0; // One by one pick all possible starting points // of subarrays for ( int i=0; i<n; i++) { // Initialize sums of current subarrays int sum1 = 0, sum2 = 0; // Consider all points for starting with arr[i] for ( int j=i; j<n; j++) { // Update sums sum1 += arr1[j]; sum2 += arr2[j]; // If sums are same and current length is // more than maxLen, update maxLen if (sum1 == sum2) { int len = j-i+1; if (len > maxLen) maxLen = len; } } } return maxLen; } // Driver program to test above function int main() { bool arr1[] = {0, 1, 0, 1, 1, 1, 1}; bool arr2[] = {1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 0, 1}; int n = sizeof (arr1)/ sizeof (arr1[0]); cout << "Length of the longest common span with same " "sum is " << longestCommonSum(arr1, arr2, n); return 0; } |
Java
// A Simple Java program to find longest common // subarray of two binary arrays with same sum class Test { static int arr1[] = new int []{ 0 , 1 , 0 , 1 , 1 , 1 , 1 }; static int arr2[] = new int []{ 1 , 1 , 1 , 1 , 1 , 0 , 1 }; // Returns length of the longest common sum in arr1[] // and arr2[]. Both are of same size n. static int longestCommonSum( int n) { // Initialize result int maxLen = 0 ; // One by one pick all possible starting points // of subarrays for ( int i= 0 ; i<n; i++) { // Initialize sums of current subarrays int sum1 = 0 , sum2 = 0 ; // Consider all points for starting with arr[i] for ( int j=i; j<n; j++) { // Update sums sum1 += arr1[j]; sum2 += arr2[j]; // If sums are same and current length is // more than maxLen, update maxLen if (sum1 == sum2) { int len = j-i+ 1 ; if (len > maxLen) maxLen = len; } } } return maxLen; } // Driver method to test the above function public static void main(String[] args) { System.out.print( "Length of the longest common span with same sum is " ); System.out.println(longestCommonSum(arr1.length)); } } |

Output :
Length of the longest common span with same sum is 6
Time Complexity : O(n2)
Auxiliary Space : O(1)
Method 2 (Using Auxiliary Array)
The idea is based on the below observations.
- Since there are total n elements, maximum sum is n for both arrays.
- The difference between two sums varies from -n to n. So there are total 2n + 1 possible values of difference.
- If differences between prefix sums of two arrays become same at two points, then subarrays between these two points have same sum.
Below is the Complete Algorithm.
- Create an auxiliary array of size 2n+1 to store starting points of all possible values of differences (Note that possible values of differences vary from -n to n, i.e., there are total 2n+1 possible values)
- Initialize starting points of all differences as -1.
- Initialize maxLen as 0 and prefix sums of both arrays as 0, preSum1 = 0, preSum2 = 0
- Traverse both arrays from i = 0 to n-1.
- Update prefix sums: preSum1 += arr1[i], preSum2 += arr2[i]
- Compute difference of current prefix sums: curr_diff = preSum1 – preSum2
- Find index in diff array: diffIndex = n + curr_diff // curr_diff can be negative and can go till -n
- If curr_diff is 0, then i+1 is maxLen so far
- Else If curr_diff is seen first time, i.e., starting point of current diff is -1, then update starting point as i
- Else (curr_diff is NOT seen first time), then consider i as ending point and find length of current same sum span. If this length is more, then update maxLen
- Return maxLen
Below is the implementation of above algorithm.

Auxiliary Space: O(n) (As hashmap has been used which takes extra space.)
