674. Longest Continuous Increasing Subsequence

Easy

Given an unsorted array of integers nums, return the length of the longest continuous increasing subsequence (i.e. subarray). The subsequence must be strictly increasing.

A continuous increasing subsequence is defined by two indices l and r (l < r) such that it is [nums[l], nums[l + 1], ..., nums[r - 1], nums[r]] and for each l <= i < r, nums[i] < nums[i + 1].

Example 1:

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

Output: 3

Explanation: The longest continuous increasing subsequence is [1,3,5] with length 3. Even though [1,3,5,7] is an increasing subsequence, it is not continuous as elements 5 and 7 are separated by element 4.

Example 2:

Input: nums = [2,2,2,2,2]

Output: 1

Explanation: The longest continuous increasing subsequence is [2] with length 1. Note that it must be strictly increasing.

Solution

class Solution {
    fun findLengthOfLCIS(nums: IntArray): Int {
        var ans = 1
        var count = 1
        for (i in 0 until nums.size - 1) {
            if (nums[i] < nums[i + 1]) {
                count++
            } else {
                ans = max(count, ans)
                count = 1
            }
        }
        return max(ans, count)
    }

    private fun max(n1: Int, n2: Int): Int {
        return Math.max(n1, n2)
    }
}
