Problem

Given an integer array nums and an integer target, return the number of contiguous subarrays whose elements sum exactly to target.

A subarray is a contiguous slice of the array. Your function should count all valid subarrays, including overlapping ones.

Formal Specification

  • Input:
    • nums: a list of integers
    • target: an integer
  • Output:
    • An integer representing the total number of contiguous subarrays with sum equal to target

Constraints

  • 1 <= len(nums) <= 10^5
  • -10^4 <= nums[i] <= 10^4
  • -10^9 <= target <= 10^9
  • The answer fits in a 32-bit signed integer
