Problem 731. Given a window, how many subsets of a vector sum positive

Created by Doug Hull

Given a vector:

[1 0 -1 3 2 -3 1]

and a window of 2,

A sliding window would find:

   1 + 0 =  1
   0 - 1 = -1
  -1 + 3 =  2
   3 + 2 =  5
   2 - 3 = -1
  -3 + 1 = -2

Meaning that three of the windows were positive.

Given a vector and a window, how many of the windows sum to be positive, not zero or negative?

I think test suite 3 produces 4 positives, not 3.

Oops. Fixed. thank you.

Test suite 3 doesn't seem to be correct. Total windows possible in this case is 2. How can number of positive windows be greater than that. Someone please clarify.
