Problem
Given a circular integer array nums
(i.e., the next element of nums[nums.length - 1]
is nums[0]
), return the next greater number for every element in nums
.
The next greater number of a number x
is the first greater number to its traversing-order next in the array, which means you could search circularly to find its next greater number. If it doesn't exist, return -1
for this number.
Example 1:
Input: nums = [1,2,1] Output: [2,-1,2] Explanation: The first 1's next greater number is 2; The number 2 can't find next greater number. The second 1's next greater number needs to search circularly, which is also 2.
Example 2:
Input: nums = [1,2,3,4,3] Output: [2,3,4,-1,4]
Constraints:
1 <= nums.length <= 104
-109 <= nums[i] <= 109
