Balanced Water Balances
You are tracking water levels in a reservoir for a number of days. Each day, a positive integer indicates water added, while a negative integer indicates water drained. Given an integer N for the number of days and an integer T for a target water level, determine how many days have a water level that is exactly T using prefix sums.
Input:
- The first line contains two integers N (1 ≤ N ≤ 100,000) and T (−1,000,000 ≤ T ≤ 1,000,000).
- The second line contains N integers representing daily changes in water levels (−1000 ≤ daily_change ≤ 1000).
Output:
- Output a single integer, the number of days where the water level equals T.
Example:
Input:
5 4
1 -1 3 1 0
Output:
2
