Problem
A ramp in an integer array nums
is a pair (i, j)
for which i < j
and nums[i] <= nums[j]
. The width of such a ramp is j - i
.
Given an integer array nums
, return the maximum width of a ramp in nums
. If there is no ramp in nums
, return 0
.
Example 1:
Input: nums = [6,0,8,2,1,5] Output: 4 Explanation: The maximum width ramp is achieved at (i, j) = (1, 5): nums[1] = 0 and nums[5] = 5.
Example 2:
Input: nums = [9,8,1,0,1,9,4,0,4,1] Output: 7 Explanation: The maximum width ramp is achieved at (i, j) = (2, 9): nums[2] = 1 and nums[9] = 1.
Constraints:
2 <= nums.length <= 5 * 104
0 <= nums[i] <= 5 * 104
