Longest Continuous Subarray With Absolute Diff Less Than or Equal to Limit
Given an array of integers nums
and an integer limit
, return the size of the longest non-empty subarray such that the absolute difference between any two elements of this subarray is less than or equal to limit
.
Example 1:
Input: nums = [8,2,4,7], limit = 4
Output: 2
Explanation: All subarrays are:
[8] with maximum absolute diff |8-8| = 0 <= 4.
[8,2] with maximum absolute diff |8-2| = 6 > 4.
[8,2,4] with maximum absolute diff |8-2| = 6 > 4.
[8,2,4,7] with maximum absolute diff |8-2| = 6 > 4.
[2] with maximum absolute diff |2-2| = 0 <= 4.
[2,4] with maximum absolute diff |2-4| = 2 <= 4.
[2,4,7] with maximum absolute diff |2-7| = 5 > 4.
[4] with maximum absolute diff |4-4| = 0 <= 4.
[4,7] with maximum absolute diff |4-7| = 3 <= 4.
[7] with maximum absolute diff |7-7| = 0 <= 4.
Therefore, the size of the longest subarray is 2.
Example 2:
Input: nums = [10,1,2,4,7,2], limit = 5
Output: 4
Explanation: The subarray [2,4,7,2] is the longest since the maximum absolute diff is |2-7| = 5 <= 5.
Example 3:
Input: nums = [4,2,2,2,4,4,2,2], limit = 0
Output: 3
Constraints:
1 <= nums.length <= 10^5
1 <= nums[i] <= 10^9
0 <= limit <= 10^9
class Solution {
public int longestSubarray(int[] A, int limit) {
Deque<Integer> maxDQ = new ArrayDeque<>();
Deque<Integer> minDQ = new ArrayDeque<>();
int start = 0, end, ans = 0;
for (end = 0; end < A.length; ++end) {
while (!maxDQ.isEmpty() && A[end] > maxDQ.peekLast())
maxDQ.pollLast();
while (!minDQ.isEmpty() && A[end] < minDQ.peekLast())
minDQ.pollLast();
maxDQ.add(A[end]);
minDQ.add(A[end]);
while (start < end && maxDQ.peek() - minDQ.peek() > limit) {
if (maxDQ.peek() == A[start])
maxDQ.poll();
if (minDQ.peek() == A[start])
minDQ.poll();
start++;
}
ans = Math.max(ans, end - start + 1);
}
return ans;
}
}
