Problem: Maximum Width Ramp

Medium
30 min
Explore how to find the maximum width ramp in an integer array using stacks. Learn to identify index pairs that satisfy conditions and calculate their width, applying constraints and efficient algorithms to solve this problem.

Statement

A ramp in an integer array nums is defined as a pair of indices (i, j) such that i < j and nums[i] <= nums[j]. The width of such a ramp is j - i.

Given an integer array nums, find and return the maximum width of any ramp in nums. If no valid ramp exists, return 00.

Constraints:

  • 22 \leq nums.length 5×104\leq 5 \times 10^4

  • 00 \leq nums[i] 5×104\leq 5 \times 10^4
