Feature #8: Find Intervals

Explore how to analyze predicted stock prices over future time intervals to determine when prices will next increase. Learn to implement a monotonic decreasing stack to efficiently calculate minimum intervals until a price rise, improving your understanding of array manipulation and stack algorithms relevant to stock trading scenarios.

Description

We are given the price predictions, prices, of a stock over a future time window. We are interested in making a profit by selling the stock at a higher price.

There are n intervals in the time window, where each ithi^{th} interval represents a stock’s predicted price for that interval. Our goal is to return an array, intervals, such that intervals[i] is the minimum number of intervals after the ith interval when the price will increase. If there is no time interval for which this is possible, ...

Solution

We are given an ...
