Problem - Arithmetic Slices

LeetCode 413

Given an integer array numsnums, return the number of arithmetic subarrays. An arithmetic subarray is a sequence of at least three elements with constant difference.

For example, [1,2,3,4][1, 2, 3, 4] contains 33 arithmetic subarrays: [1,2,3][1, 2, 3], [2,3,4][2, 3, 4], and [1,2,3,4][1, 2, 3, 4].

This problem tests whether you recognize arithmetic sequences and can count continuous patterns. Think about what makes a subarray arithmetic.
