first sort the array and then use sliding window to find the subarrays which satisfy the above condition and in the end add “n” to the answer because each element individually is also satisfying the condition.

how will the sliding window be useful in this case as we need to check all subsequences with different lengths.

this is a live problem from ODESSA HACKATHON 2020, on hackerearth.

I had given the contest yesterday and i thought its over now and there will be no editorial so that’s why i aksed it here.

There is no point in CHEATING!!! a question of a 3 hr contest on a discussion platform. I was not able to get to optimal solution that’s why i asked it here Just to learn.

I can Totally understand your situation. (And may be i should say a sorry tooâ˜ș)

But, the contest is currently live. If, the solution is discussed, then that is going to help others during live content, which i think, should not be the case.

please, allow the contest to end. :slight_smile:

End date : 18th May’19

Yeah you are right if contest is live then we shouldn’t discuss it ,we can discuss it after 18 and if you were able to solve the problems then we can discuss it.:+1::+1:

Ok,ok,sorry,I get it. When you said ‘sort the array’,I assumed the solution is WA
then realized that its ok to sort as guys are only talking about the first and last element.
Sorry :slight_smile:

3rd question I didn’t see. 2nd one is a basic-trie problem :slight_smile:

17

I understood the sorting part, but after that the straightforward thing to do is binary search, may I know how/what did you do with sliding window after the contest? Thanks! :slight_smile:

To all

Please don’t discuss before it ends
