Given an integer array arr[] of length N consisting of both positive and negative integers, the task is to find the number of sub-arrays with the absolute value of sum greater than a given positive number K

Examples:  

Input : arr[] = {-1, 0, 1}, K = 0 
Output :
All possible sub-arrays and there total sum: 
{-1} = -1 
{0} = 0 
{1} = 1 
{-1, 0} = -1 
{0, 1} = 1 
{-1, 0, 1} = 0 
Thus, 4 sub-arrays have absolute 
value of sum greater than 0.

Input : arr[] = {2, 3, 4}, K = 4 
Output :

Approach: A similar approach that works on a positive integer array is discussed here.
In this article, we will look at an algorithm that solves this problem for both positive and negative integers.  

  1. Create a prefix-sum array of the given array.
  2. Sort the prefix-sum array.
  3. Create variable ans, find the number of elements in the prefix-sum array with value lesser than -K or greater than K, and initialize ans with this value.
  4. Now, iterate the sorted prefix-sum array and for every index i, find the index of the first element with a value greater than arr[i] + K. Let's say this index is j.

Then ans can be updated as ans += N - j as the number of elements in the prefix-sum array larger than the value of arr[i]+K will be equal to N - j
To find the index j, perform binary search on prefix-sum array. Specifically, find the upper-bound on the value of prefix-sum[i] + k

Below is the implementation of the above approach: 

C++
// C++ implementation of the above approach
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
#define maxLen 30
using namespace std;

// Function to find required value
int findCnt(int arr[], int n, int k)
{
    // Variable to store final answer
    int ans = 0;

    // Loop to find prefix-sum
    for (int i = 1; i < n; i++) {
        arr[i] += arr[i - 1];
        if (arr[i] > k or arr[i] < -1 * k)
            ans++;
    }

    if (arr[0] > k || arr[0] < -1 * k)
        ans++;

    // Sorting prefix-sum array
    sort(arr, arr + n);

    // Loop to find upper_bound
    // for each element
    for (int i = 0; i < n; i++)
        ans += n - 
       (upper_bound(arr, arr + n, arr[i] + k) - arr);

    // Returning final answer
    return ans;
}

// Driver code
int main()
{
    int arr[] = { -1, 4, -5, 6 };
    int n = sizeof(arr) / sizeof(int);
    int k = 0;

    // Function to find required value
    cout << findCnt(arr, n, k);
}

    {
        arr[i] += arr[i - 1];
        if (arr[i] > k || arr[i] < -1 * k)
            ans++;
    }

    if (arr[0] > k || arr[0] < -1 * k)
        ans++;

    // Sorting prefix-sum array
    Arrays.sort(arr);

    // Loop to find upper_bound

    for (int i = 0; i < n; i++)

    return ans;

        if(a[middle] > element)
            high = middle;
        else
            low = middle + 1;
    }
    return low;
}

Time complexity : O(Nlog(N))
Auxiliary Space: O(1), no extra space is required, so it is a constant
