2334. Subarray With Elements Greater Than Varying Threshold

Hard

You are given an integer array nums and an integer threshold.

Find any subarray of nums of length k such that every element in the subarray is greater than threshold / k.

Return the size of any such subarray. If there is no such subarray, return -1.

A subarray is a contiguous non-empty sequence of elements within an array.

Example 1:

Input: nums = [1,3,4,3,1], threshold = 6

Output: 3

Explanation: The subarray [3,4,3] has a size of 3, and every element is greater than 6 / 3 = 2.

Note that this is the only valid subarray.

Example 2:

Input: nums = [6,5,6,5,8], threshold = 7

Output: 1

Explanation: The subarray [8] has a size of 1, and 8 > 7 / 1 = 7. So 1 is returned.

Note that the subarray [6,5] has a size of 2, and every element is greater than 7 / 2 = 3.5.

Similarly, the subarrays [6,5,6], [6,5,6,5], [6,5,6,5,8] also satisfy the given conditions.

Therefore, 2, 3, 4, or 5 may also be returned.

                // dead, this element should never appear in the answer
                dead.add(i)

        while (maxheap.isNotEmpty()) {
            val cur = maxheap.poll()
            if (dead.higher(cur)!! - dead.lower(cur)!! - 1 < min[cur]) {
                // widest open range < minimum required length, this index is also bad.
                dead.add(cur)
            } else {
                // otherwise we've found it!
                return min[cur]
            }
        }
        return -1
    }
