Equal Subarray Split

MediumPython

Problem

Find a split point in an array that makes the subarray sums equal.

Given an integer array nums, return the largest valid split position k such that the non-empty subarrays nums[:k] and nums[k:] have equal sums. Return -1 if no such split exists.

Input and Output

nums is a list of integers. Return an integer split position, counting the number of elements in the left subarray.

Constraints

  • 2 <= len(nums) <= 1000
  • -10^9 <= nums[i] <= 10^9
  • Both resulting subarrays must be non-empty
  • If several valid positions exist, return the largest one
