Find Pivot Index

Problem Given an integer array, return the leftmost index where the sum of elements strictly to the left equals the sum strictly to the right; -1 if none exists.

Input / Output

  • Input: int array nums.
  • Output: pivot index or -1.

Constraints

  • n up to 10^4; values may be negative; O(n) time, O(1) space expected.

Example

  • nums = [1,7,3,6,5,6] → 3 (left 1+7+3 = 11 = right 5+6).
  • nums = [2,1,-1] → 0 (empty left sum 0 = right 1+(−1)).
