HackerEarth Two Arrays problem solution

YASH PAL, 31 July 202415 February 2026
In this HackerEarth Two Arrays problem solution Let’s define the matching number for two arrays X and Y, each with size n, as the number of pairs of indices (i,j) such that Xi = Yj (1 <= i, j <= n).
 
You are given an integer K and two arrays A and B with sizes N and M respectively. Find the number of ways to pick two subarrays with equal size, one from array A and the other from array B, such that the matching number for these two subarrays is >= K.
 
Note: a subarray consists of one or more consecutive elements of an array.
