962. Maximum Width Ramp

Medium

A ramp in an integer array nums is a pair (i, j) for which i < j and nums[i] <= nums[j]. The width of such a ramp is j - i.

Given an integer array nums, return the maximum width of a ramp in nums. If there is no ramp in nums, return 0.

Example 1:

Input: nums = [6,0,8,2,1,5]

Output: 4

Explanation: The maximum width ramp is achieved at (i, j) = (1, 5): nums[1] = 0 and nums[5] = 5.

Example 2:

Input: nums = [9,8,1,0,1,9,4,0,4,1]

Output: 7

Explanation: The maximum width ramp is achieved at (i, j) = (2, 9): nums[2] = 1 and nums[9] = 1.

Solution

public class Solution {
    public int maxWidthRamp(int[] nums) {
        int m = nums.length;
        int[] dp = new int[m];
        int minInd = 0;
        int ramp = 0;
        for (int i = 0; i < m; i++) {
            int prInd = minInd;
            while (prInd > 0 && nums[i] >= nums[dp[prInd]]) {
                prInd = dp[prInd];
            }
            dp[i] = prInd;
            if (nums[i] >= nums[prInd]) {
                ramp = Math.max(ramp, i - prInd);
            }
            minInd = nums[i] < nums[minInd] ? i : minInd;
        }
        return ramp;
    }
