Problem: Squares of a Sorted Array

Medium
30 min
Explore how to apply the two pointers technique to transform a sorted integer array into a sorted array of squares. This lesson helps you understand the problem constraints and implement an efficient solution, reinforcing essential coding interview patterns.

Statement

You are given an integer array, nums, sorted in non-decreasing order. Your task is to return a new array containing the squares of each number, also sorted in non-decreasing order.

Constraints:

  • 11 \leq nums.length 103\leq 10^3

  • 104-10^4 \leq nums[i] 104\leq 10^4

  • nums is sorted in non-decreasing order.
