Did you come across this question in an interview?

  • How can you determine the shortest subarray that meets or exceeds a target sum from a given integer array, using a greedy algorithm?
  • What greedy strategy would you use to find the smallest subarray with a sum at least equal to a given target?
  • How would you apply the greedy method to locate the smallest subarray exceeding a target sum in an integer array?
  • Can you find the least length subarray that sums to a target value or more, utilizing a greedy tactic?
  • How do you go about using a greedy algorithm to find the minimal subarray with a sum no less than a target?
  • What is your approach to identifying the shortest subarray with a sum greater than or equal to a target, using greediness?
  • How would you use a greedy approach to search for the smallest subarray with a sum surpassing a target sum?
  • In a set of integers, how would you employ a greedy technique to find the smallest sequence summing to at least a target amount?
  • Can you demonstrate a greedy algorithm to find the most concise subarray that meets a specific target sum?
  • Given an array of integers and a target sum, find the smallest subarray with a sum greater than or equal to the target sum using the greedy approach.
