1438. Longest Continuous Subarray With Absolute Diff Less Than or Equal to Limit

Medium

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

Solution

import java.util.ArrayDeque

class Solution {
    fun longestSubarray(nums: IntArray, limit: Int): Int {
        val maxQ = ArrayDeque<Int>()
        val minQ = ArrayDeque<Int>()
        var best = 0
        var left = 0
        for (right in nums.indices) {
            while (maxQ.isNotEmpty() && nums[right] > nums[maxQ.peekLast()]) {
                maxQ.removeLast()
            }
            maxQ.offerLast(right)
            while (minQ.isNotEmpty() && nums[right] < nums[minQ.peekLast()]) {
                minQ.removeLast()
            }
            minQ.offerLast(right)
            while (nums[maxQ.peekFirst()] - nums[minQ.peekFirst()] > limit) {
                if (maxQ.peekFirst() == left) {
                    maxQ.removeFirst()
                }
                if (minQ.peekFirst() == left) {
                    minQ.removeFirst()
                }
                left++
            }
            best = Math.max(best, right - left + 1)
        }
        return best
    }
