I tried to do this all by myself but got stuck, ended up transpiling this solution in PHP.
class Solution {
/**
* @param Integer[] $nums
* @return Integer
*/
function waysToMakeFair($nums) {
$len = count($nums);
$ans = 0;
$leftOdd = 0;
$rightOdd = 0;
$leftEven = 0;
$rightEven = 0;
for ($i=0; $i<$len; $i++) {
if ($i%2 === 0)
$rightEven += $nums[$i];
else
$rightOdd += $nums[$i];
}
for ($i=0; $i<$len; $i++) {
if ($i%2 === 0)
$rightEven -= $nums[$i];
else
$rightOdd -= $nums[$i];
if ($leftEven + $rightOdd === $rightEven + $leftOdd) $ans++;
if ($i%2 === 0)
$leftEven += $nums[$i];
else
$leftOdd += $nums[$i];
}
return $ans;
}
}
