There would not be an a7 for this oneā¦
But this array is valid as the value of N is 7 hereā¦ and a[i] is well within range??
The a_i's have to be non-zero positive integersm from the Problem statement.

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.

Hi prathameshmore, this seems to me as a Rainbow array. Can you point out exactly why this is not a rainbow array
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.

Hi ssjgz, found the mistake thanks. The code still does not pass #Task0 but passes #Task1. I want to know mistake or test case for the solution to fail.

Your solution fails on the sample test input - your output has to match the expected output exactly, remember!
