Problem
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
Constraints:
1 <= nums.length <= 105
1 <= nums[i] <= 109
0 <= limit <= 109
