Description
Given an array of positive integers nums and a positive integer target, return the minimal length of a subarray whose sum is greater than or equal to target. If there is no such subarray, return 0 instead.
Example 1:
Input: target = 7, nums = [2,3,1,2,4,3]
Output: 2
Explanation: The subarray [4,3] has the minimal length under the problem constraint.
Example 2:
Input: target = 4, nums = [1,4,4]
Output: 1
Example 3:
Input: target = 11, nums = [1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1]
Output: 0
