Count subarrays with equal number of 1’s and 0’s

Last Updated : 29 Nov, 2023

Given an array arr[] of size n containing 0 and 1 only. The problem is to count the subarrays having an equal number of 0’s and 1’s.

Examples:

Input: arr[] = {1, 0, 0, 1, 0, 1, 1}
Output: 8
Explanation: The index range for the 8 sub-arrays are: (0, 1), (2, 3), (0, 3), (3, 4), (4, 5)(2, 5), (0, 5), (1, 6)

Input: arr = { 1, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 1}
Output: 12

Count subarrays with equal number of 1’s and 0’s using Frequency Counting:

The problem is closely related to the Largest subarray with an equal number of 0’s and 1’s

Follow the steps below to implement the above idea:

Consider all 0’s in arr[] as -1.
Create a hash table that holds the count of each sum[i] value, where sum[i] = sum(arr[0]+..+arr[i]), for i = 0 to n-1.
Now start calculating the cumulative sum and then we get an incremental count of 1 for that sum represented as an index in the hash table. Arrays of each pair of positions with the same value in the cumulative sum constitute a continuous range with an equal number of 1’s and 0’s.
Now traverse the hash table and get the frequency of each element in the hash table. Let frequency be denoted as freq. For each freq > 1 we can choose any two pairs of indices of a sub-array by (freq * (freq – 1)) / 2 number of ways. Do the same for all freq and sum up the result will be the number of all possible sub-arrays containing the equal number of 1’s and 0’s.
Also, add freq of the sum of 0 to the hash table for the final result.

Explanation:
Considering all 0’s as -1. if sum[i] == sum[j], where sum[i] = sum(arr[0]+..+arr[i]) and sum[j] = sum(arr[0]+..+arr[j]) and ‘i’ is less than ‘j’, then sum(arr[i+1]+..+arr[j]) must be 0. It can only be 0 if arr(i+1, .., j) contains an equal number of 1’s and 0’s.

Follow the steps below to implement the above approach:

    // sum and increase count by 1 for this sum
    // in 'um'. Adds '-1' when arr[i] == 0
    for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
        curr_sum += (arr[i] == 0) ? -1 : arr[i];
        um[curr_sum]++;
    }
 
    int count = 0;

Count subarrays with equal number of 1’s and 0’s using Map:

Follow the steps below for implementation:

Create a map say mp.
Iterate over the length of the given array
- Check if arr[i] == 0, then replace it with -1.
- Keep calculating the number into sum till ith index.
- If sum = 0, it implies the number of 0’s and 1’s are equal from arr[0]..arr[i]
- if mp[sum] exists then add “frequency-1” to count
- if the frequency of “sum” is zero then we initialize that frequency to 1, f it’s not 0, we increment it
Finally, return the count.
