You are given a 0-indexed integer array nums of size n.
Define two arrays leftSum and rightSum where:
leftSum[i]is the sum of elements to the left of the indexiin the arraynums. If there is no such element,leftSum[i] = 0.rightSum[i]is the sum of elements to the right of the indexiin the arraynums. If there is no such element,rightSum[i] = 0.
Return an integer array answer of size n where answer[i] = |leftSum[i] - rightSum[i]|.
Example 1:
Input: nums = [10,4,8,3] Output: [15,1,11,22] Explanation: The array leftSum is [0,10,14,22] and the array rightSum is [15,11,3,0]. The array answer is [|0 - 15|,|10 - 11|,|14 - 3|,|22 - 0|] = [15,1,11,22].
Example 2:
Input: nums = [1] Output: [0] Explanation: The array leftSum is [0] and the array rightSum is [0]. The array answer is [|0 - 0|] = [0].
Constraints:
1 <= nums.length <= 10001 <= nums[i] <= 105
Hints
Hint 1
For each index i, maintain two variables leftSum and rightSum.
Hint 2
Iterate on the range j: [0 … i - 1] and add nums[j] to the leftSum and similarly iterate on the range j: [i + 1 … nums.length - 1] and add nums[j] to the rightSum.
