Solution: Number of Valid Subarrays
Understand how to efficiently count valid contiguous subarrays where the first element is the smallest or equal to others. Explore the use of a monotonic increasing stack to track element indices and optimize the solution with O(n) time complexity. This lesson guides you through the algorithmic steps and their time and space tradeoffs.

Statement
Given an integer array nums, count how many non-empty contiguous subarrays exist where the first element of each subarray is less than or equal to every other element within that subarray.
Note: A subarray is defined as a contiguous portion of an array.
Constraints:
