Find the length of the smallest subarray whose sum is greater than or equal...

Given an array of positive integers and a positive integer s, this function returns the minimal length of a contiguous subarray of which the sum is greater than or equal to s. If there isn 't one, it returns 0 instead.

Problem

Given an array of n positive integers and a positive integer s, find the minimal length of a contiguous subarray of which the sum is greater than or equal to s. If there isn't one, return 0 instead.
Example input: [2,3,1,2,4,3], s = 7 
Example output: 2

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int minSubArrayLen(int s, vector<int>& nums) {
    int n = nums.size();
    int ans = INT_MAX;
    int left = 0;
    int sum = 0;
    for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
        sum += nums[i];
        while (sum >= s) {
            ans = min(ans, i + 1 - left);
            sum -= nums[left++];
        }
    }
    return (ans != INT_MAX) ? ans : 0;
}

int main() {
    vector<int> nums = {2,3,1,2,4,3};
    int s = 7;
    cout << minSubArrayLen(s, nums) << endl;
    return 0;
}

A.I. Evaluation of the Solution

This is a great solution! The candidate has taken the time to include comments explaining what the code is doing, which is always appreciated. The code itself is clean and well-organized.
