Longest Continuous Subarray With Absolute Diff Less Than or Equal to Limit

Medium

Company Tags

You are given an array of integers nums and an integer limit, return the size of the longest non-empty subarray such that the absolute difference between any two elements of this subarray is less than or equal to limit.

Example 1:

Input: nums = [8,2,4,7], limit = 4

Output: 2

Explanation:
[8] with maximum absolute diff |8-8| = 0 <= 4.
[8,2] with maximum absolute diff |8-2| = 6 > 4.
[8,2,4] with maximum absolute diff |8-2| = 6 > 4.
[8,2,4,7] with maximum absolute diff |8-2| = 6 > 4.
[2] with maximum absolute diff |2-2| = 0 <= 4.
[2,4] with maximum absolute diff |2-4| = 2 <= 4.
[2,4,7] with maximum absolute diff |2-7| = 5 > 4.
[4] with maximum absolute diff |4-4| = 0 <= 4.
[4,7] with maximum absolute diff |4-7| = 3 <= 4.
[7] with maximum absolute diff |7-7| = 0 <= 4.
Therefore, the size of the longest subarray is 2.

Example 2:

Input: nums = [10,1,2,4,7,2], limit = 5

Output: 4

Explanation: The subarray [2,4,7,2] is the longest since the maximum absolute diff is |2-7| = 5 <= 5.

Constraints:

  • 1 <= nums.length <= 100,000
  • 1 <= nums[i] <= 1,000,000,000
  • 0 <= limit <= 1,000,000,000
