Hit like if you understand easily by my solution.
I think you will get clear understanding of o(n) solution after reading my solution.
Remember some examples in mind:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 - yes
12 3 7 3 2 1-no
There are some exception always in your code if you are getting WA.
If you want any help in your code, you can ask simply by tagging me.

There can’t - there are no Rainbow Arrays for n<13.

The code works good. current_no=4 and next_no=5, which will break the loop after setting flag = False. Link for my code again for visibility here

On my machine, your solution outputs

yes

for the testcase I gave you.

My code: Rainbowa

I’m not able to find the test case that is getting failed. Someone please help me with this code.

Will the list contain elements valued only upto 7 or can it take up values like 8 9 also? Like is
1 2 3 4 4 5 6 7 7 8 7 7 6 5 4 4 3 2 1 valid??

1 2 3 4 4 5 6 7 7 8 7 7 6 5 4 4 3 2 1 is not valid. The array can contain elements only upto 7
