Maximum Size Subarray Sum Equals k
Given an array nums and a target value k, find the maximum length of a subarray that sums to k. If there isn't one, return 0 instead.
Note:
The sum of the entire nums array is guaranteed to fit within the 32-bit signed integer range.
Example 1:
Given nums = [1, -1, 5, -2, 3], k = 3, return 4. (because the subarray [1, -1, 5, -2] sums to 3 and is the longest)
Example 2:
Given nums = [-2, -1, 2, 1], k = 1, return 2. (because the subarray [-1, 2] sums to 1 and is the longest)

Solution
public class Solution {
public int maxSubArrayLen(int[] nums, int k) {
Map<Integer, Integer> map = new HashMap<>();
int sum = 0;
int result = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < nums.length; i++) {
sum += nums[i];
if (sum == k) result = Math.max(result, i+1);
if (map.containsKey(sum - k)) {
result = Math.max(result, i - map.get(sum - k));
}
if (!map.containsKey(sum)) {
map.put(sum, i);
}
}
return result;
}
}
