    Practice problems / Shortest subarray reaching a sum

    Shortest subarray reaching a sum

    Mediumarraysliding windowprefix sums

    Every number in nums is positive. Return the length of the shortest contiguous part whose sum is ≥ target, or 0 if none exists.

    Example 1

    Input:  target = 7, nums = [2,3,1,2,4,3]
    Output: 2

    [4, 3].

    Example 2

    Input:  target = 11, nums = [1,1,1,1,1]
    Output: 0

    Constraints

    • 1 ≤ target ≤ 10⁹
    • 1 ≤ nums.length ≤ 10⁵
    • 1 ≤ nums[i] ≤ 10⁴

    Submit checks your solution against 10 tests, including hidden ones.

    /**
     * @param {int} target
     * @param {int[]} nums
     * @return {int}
     */
    function minSubArrayLen(target, nums) {
