Given an array arr[] consisting of N integers and two positive integers K and M, the task is to find the number of subarrays of size K whose average is at least M.

Examples:

Input: arr[] = {2, 3, 3, 4, 4, 4, 5, 6, 6}, K = 3, M = 4
Output: 4
Explanation:
Below are the subarrays of size K(= 3) whose average is at least M(= 4) as:

  1. arr[3, 5]: The average is 4 which is at least M(= 4).
  2. arr[4, 6]: The average is 4.33 which is at least M(= 4).
  3. arr[5, 7]: The average is 5 which is at least M(= 4).
  4. arr[6, 8]: The average is 5.66 which is at least M(= 4).

Therefore, the count of the subarray is given by 4.

Input: arr[] = {3, 6, 3, 2, 1, 3, 9] K = 2, M = 4
Output: 3

Approach: The given problem can be solved by using the Two Pointers and Sliding Window Technique. Follow the steps below to solve the given problem:

  • Initialize a variable, say count as 0 that stores the count of all possible subarrays.
  • Initialize a variable, say sum as 0 that stores the sum of elements of the subarray of size K.
  • Find the sum of the first K array elements and store it in the variable sum. If the value of sum is at least M*K, then increment the value of count by 1.
  • Traverse the given array arr[] over the range [K, N – 1] using the variable i and perform the following steps:
    • Add the value of arr[i] to the variable sum and subtract the value of arr[i – K] from the sum.
    • If the value of sum is at least M*K, then increment the value of count by 1.
  • After completing the above steps, print the value of count as the resultant count of subarrays.

Below is the implementation of the above approach:

C++




// C++ program for the above approach
 
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
 
// Function to count the subarrays of
// size K having average at least M
int countSubArrays(int arr[], int N,
                   int K, int M)
{
    // Stores the resultant count of
    // subarray
    int count = 0;
 
    // Stores the sum of subarrays of
    // size K
    int sum = 0;
 
    // Add the values of first K elements
    // to the sum
    for (int i = 0; i < K; i++) {
        sum += arr[i];
    }
 
    // Increment the count if the
    // current subarray is valid
    if (sum >= K * M)
        count++;
 
    // Traverse the given array
    for (int i = K; i < N; i++) {
 
        // Find the updated sum
        sum += (arr[i] - arr[i - K]);
 
        // Check if current subarray
        // is valid or not
        if (sum >= K * M)
            count++;
    }
 
    // Return the count of subarrays
    return count;
}
 
// Driver Code
int main()
{
    int arr[] = { 3, 6, 3, 2, 1, 3, 9 };
    int K = 2, M = 4;
    int N = sizeof(arr) / sizeof(arr[0]);
 
    cout << countSubArrays(arr, N, K, M);
 
    return 0;
}

        System.out.println(countSubArrays(arr, K, M));
    }
   
    // Function to count the subarrays of

                                     int M)
