Longest subarray having count of 1s one more than count of 0s

Given an array of size n containing 0’s and 1’s only. The problem is to find the length of the longest subarray having count of 1’s one more than count of 0’s.

Examples:

Input : arr = {0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 1}
Output : 5
From index 1 to 5.

Input : arr[] = {1, 0, 0, 1, 0}
Output : 1

Approach: Following are the steps:

1. Consider all the 0’s in the array as ‘-1’.
2. Initialize sum = 0 and maxLen = 0.
3. Create a hash table having (sum, index) tuples.
4. For i = 0 to n-1, perform the following steps:
   1. If arr[i] is ‘0’ accumulate ‘-1’ to sum else accumulate ‘1’ to sum.
   2. If sum == 1, update maxLen = i+1.
   3. Else check whether sum is present in the hash table or not. If not present, then add it to the hash table as (sum, i) pair.
   4. Check if (sum-1) is present in the hash table or not. if present, then obtain index of (sum-1) from the hash table as index. Now check if maxLen is less than (i-index), then update maxLen = (i-index).
5. Return maxLen.

// function to find the length of longest

int lenOfLongSubarr(int arr[], int n)
{
    // unordered_map 'um' implemented as
    // hash table
    unordered_map<int, int> um;
    int sum = 0, maxLen = 0;

    // traverse the given array
    for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {

        // consider '0' as '-1'
        sum += arr[i] == 0 ? -1 : 1;

        // when subarray starts form index '0'
        if (sum == 1)
            maxLen = i + 1;

        // make an entry for 'sum' if it is
        // not present in 'um'
        else if (um.find(sum) == um.end())
            um[sum] = i;

        // check if 'sum-1' is present in 'um'

        if (um.find(sum - 1) != um.end()) {

            // update maxLength
            if (maxLen < (i - um[sum - 1]))
                maxLen = i - um[sum - 1];
        }
    }

    // required maximum length
    return maxLen;
