Problem: Squares of a Sorted Array

Easy
15 min
Explore how to transform a sorted integer array into a sorted array of their squares using the two-pointer approach. Understand the problem constraints and learn to implement a solution with linear time complexity to efficiently handle large datasets.

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.
