Related Topics: Array, Hash Table, Prefix Sum

Given a binary array nums, return the maximum length of a contiguous subarray with an equal number of 0 and 1.

Example 1:

1
2
3
Input: nums = [0,1]
Output: 2
Explanation: [0, 1] is the longest contiguous subarray with an equal number of 0 and 1.

Example 2:

1
2
3
Input: nums = [0,1,0]
Output: 2
Explanation: [0, 1] (or [1, 0]) is a longest contiguous subarray with equal number of 0 and 1.

Constraints:

  • 1 <= nums.length <= 105
  • nums[i] is either 0 or 1.

Hints/Notes

  • change 0 to -1 and make the range sum to be 0
