array-and-hashmapProblem URL: Left and right sum differences
We will iterate over the array and compute the sum of the left and right subarrays as we iterate through. Then we will compute the difference between the sums and append it to our result. Finally we return our result.
class Solution:
def leftRightDifference(self, nums: List[int]) -> List[int]:
leftSum, rightSum = 0, sum(nums)
res = []
for num in nums:
rightSum -= num
res.append(abs(leftSum-rightSum))
leftSum += num
return res
