Problem: Count Subarrays With Fixed Bounds

Hard
40 min
Understand how to identify and count fixed-bound subarrays by applying two-pointer methods to efficiently solve problems involving contiguous array elements with specific min and max values.

Statement

Given an integer array, nums, and two integers minK and maxK, return the number of fixed-bound subarrays.

A subarray in nums is called a fixed-bound subarray if it satisfies the following conditions:

  1. The smallest value in the subarray equals minK.

  2. The largest value in the subarray equals maxK.

Note: A subarray is a contiguous sequence of elements within an array.

Constraints:

  • 22 \leq nums.length 103\leq 10^{3}

  • 11 \leq nums[i], minK, maxK 103\leq 10^{3}
