Classic two-pointer / sliding window: expand right, then shrink
left while the window still satisfies the >= constraint, recording
the smallest valid length.
for r = 0 to n - 1 do
sum := !sum + arr.(r);
while !sum >= target do
... record (r - !l + 1) if smaller ...
sum := !sum - arr.(!l);
l := !l + 1
done
done
For [2; 3; 1; 2; 4; 3], target 7 -> window [4, 3] of length 2.
Sentinel n+1 marks "not found"; final guard reduces to 0.
Tests for + inner while shrinking loop, ref-tracked sum updated
on both expansion and contraction.
194 baseline programs total.
