Problem: Reverse Pairs

Medium
30 min
Explore how to identify and count reverse pairs in an integer array by applying sorting and search methods like binary search. This lesson helps you grasp problem-solving patterns essential for coding interviews and practice hands-on coding in an interactive environment.

Statement

You are given an integer array, nums. Your task is to count how many reverse pairs exist in the array and return the total number of such pairs.

A reverse pair is defined as a pair of indexes (i,j)(i, j) such that:

  • 0i<j<0 \leq i \lt j \lt nums.length, and

  • nums[i] >2×\gt 2 \times nums[j].

Constraints:

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

  • 231-2^{31} \leq nums[i] 2311\leq 2^{31} - 1
