Solution: Number of Valid Subarrays

Explore how to count non-empty contiguous subarrays where the first element is less than or equal to all others. Learn to use a monotonic increasing stack for an efficient O(n) time solution that processes each element once. Understand the algorithm's logic, implementation details, and time-space complexity to solve this problem confidently.

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:

  • 11 \leq nums.length 1000\leq 1000 ...
