Question

Given an integer array a and an integer k, return the number of contiguous subarrays that contain exactly k odd numbers. The array may have length 1; k is non-negative.

Implement

count_nice_subarrays(a: list[int], k: int) → int

Examples

in[[1,1,2,1,1],3]out2

What a strong answer looks like

State your approach and its time/space complexity out loud before you optimize. Handle the edge cases (empty input, duplicates, overflow), and say why you chose this over the brute force. Green tests are the floor, not the grade.

Learn the concepts

Vibe coding: describe the solution in plain language (or narrate it) and the coach grades your approach. Generating runnable code from your description is coming next.

Run or narrate your approach, then ask the coach.
