Problem: Count Subarrays With Fixed Bounds

hard
40 min
Explore how to count fixed-bound subarrays in integer arrays by identifying subarrays where the minimum equals minK and maximum equals maxK. Understand the problem constraints and apply the two pointers technique to solve it efficiently, strengthening your skills for coding interviews.

Statement

Given an integer array, nums, and two integers minK and maxK, return the number of fixed-bound subarrays.

A subarray in nums is called a fixed-bound subarray if it satisfies the following conditions:

  1. The smallest value in the subarray equals minK.

  2. The largest value in the subarray equals maxK.

Note: A subarray is a contiguous sequence of elements within an array.

Constraints:

  • 22 \leq nums.length 103\leq 10^{3}

  • 11 \leq nums[i], minK, maxK 103\leq 10^{3}
