3350. Adjacent Increasing Subarrays Detection II

Medium

Given an array nums of n integers, your task is to find the maximum value of k for which there exist two adjacent subarrays of length k each, such that both subarrays are strictly increasing. Specifically, check if there are two subarrays of length k starting at indices a and b (a < b), where:

Return the maximum possible value of k.

A subarray is a contiguous non-empty sequence of elements within an array.

Example 1:

Input: nums = [2,5,7,8,9,2,3,4,3,1]

Output: 3

Example 2:

Input: nums = [1,2,3,4,4,4,4,5,6,7]

Output: 2

Solution

import java.util.List;

public class Solution {
    public int maxIncreasingSubarrays(List<Integer> nums) {
        int n = nums.size();
        int[] a = new int[n];
        for (int i = 0; i < n; ++i) {
            a[i] = nums.get(i);
        }
        int ans = 1;
        int previousLen = Integer.MAX_VALUE;
        int i = 0;
        while (i < n) {
            int j = i + 1;
            while (j < n && a[j - 1] < a[j]) {
                ++j;
            }
            int len = j - i;
            ans = Math.max(ans, len / 2);
            if (previousLen != Integer.MAX_VALUE) {
                ans = Math.max(ans, Math.min(previousLen, len));
            }
            previousLen = len;
            i = j;
        }
        return ans;
    }
