You are given an integer array prices
representing the daily price history of a stock, where prices[i]
is the stock price on the ith
day.
A smooth descent period of a stock consists of one or more contiguous days such that the price on each day is lower than the price on the preceding day by exactly 1
. The first day of the period is exempted from this rule.
Return the number of smooth descent periods.
Example 1:
Input: prices = [3,2,1,4]
Output: 7
Explanation: There are 7 smooth descent periods:
[3], [2], [1], [4], [3,2], [2,1], and [3,2,1]
Note that a period with one day is a smooth descent period by the definition.
Example 2:
Input: prices = [8,6,7,7]
Output: 4
Explanation: There are 4 smooth descent periods: [8], [6], [7], and [7]
Note that [8,6] is not a smooth descent period as 8 - 6 ≠ 1.
Example 3:
Input: prices = [1]
Output: 1
Explanation: There is 1 smooth descent period: [1]
Constraints:
1 <= prices.length <= 105
1 <= prices[i] <= 105
