1793. Maximum Score of a Good Subarray

Hard

You are given an array of integers nums (0-indexed) and an integer k.

The score of a subarray (i, j) is defined as min(nums[i], nums[i+1], ..., nums[j]) * (j - i + 1). A good subarray is a subarray where i <= k <= j.

Return the maximum possible score of a good subarray.

Example 1:

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

Output: 15

Explanation: The optimal subarray is (1, 5) with a score of min(4,3,7,4,5) * (5-1+1) = 3 * 5 = 15.

Example 2:

Input: nums = [5,5,4,5,4,1,1,1], k = 0

Output: 20

Explanation: The optimal subarray is (0, 4) with a score of min(5,5,4,5,4) * (4-0+1) = 4 * 5 = 20.

        var i = k

        var goLeft: Boolean
        while (i >= 1 || j < nums.size - 1) {
            // sub array [i...j] is already traversed. Either goLeft or goRight to increase the
            // sequence
            goLeft = if (i == 0) {
                false
            } else if (j == nums.size - 1) {
                true
            } else {
                nums[j + 1] <= nums[i - 1]
            }
            min = if (goLeft) Math.min(min, nums[i - 1]) else Math.min(min, nums[j + 1])
            if (goLeft) {
                while (i >= 1 && min <= nums[i - 1]) {
                    i--

            }
            res = Math.max(res, min * (j - i + 1))
