1013. Partition Array Into Three Parts With Equal Sum

Easy

Given an array of integers arr, return true if we can partition the array into three non-empty parts with equal sums.

Formally, we can partition the array if we can find indexes i + 1 < j with (arr[0] + arr[1] + ... + arr[i] == arr[i + 1] + arr[i + 2] + ... + arr[j - 1] == arr[j] + arr[j + 1] + ... + arr[arr.length - 1])

Example 1:

Input: arr = [0,2,1,-6,6,-7,9,1,2,0,1]

Output: true

Explanation: 0 + 2 + 1 = -6 + 6 - 7 + 9 + 1 = 2 + 0 + 1

Example 2:

Input: arr = [0,2,1,-6,6,7,9,-1,2,0,1]

Output: false

Example 3:

Input: arr = [3,3,6,5,-2,2,5,1,-9,4]

Output: true

Explanation: 3 + 3 = 6 = 5 - 2 + 2 + 5 + 1 - 9 + 4

Solution

class Solution {
    fun canThreePartsEqualSum(arr: IntArray): Boolean {
        var sum = 0
        for (j in arr) {
            sum += j
        }
        // 1. Base condition , the sum should be equally divided into 3 parts
        if (sum % 3 != 0) {
            return false
        }
        val eq = sum / 3
        // to keep track of occurences of sum in the sub array
        var count = 0
        var temp = 0
        for (j in arr) {
            // 2. Base / Break condition for loop , i.e. if the count is 2,
            // i.e. sum has been achieved twice ( and there is more indices
            // to go through since we are in the loop again ) then return true
            if (count == 2) {
                return true
            }
            // 3. Adding to temp array
            temp += j
            // 4. If sum is achieved , increase the count
            if (temp == eq) {
                count++
                // put temp=0 to start summing up from the next indices
                temp = 0
            }
        }
        // 5. If the above conditoin fails , result is false
        return false
    }
