Maximum Frequency After Subarray Operation

Medium

Company Tags

You are given an array nums of length n. You are also given an integer k.

You perform the following operation on nums once:

  • Select a subarray nums[i..j] where 0 <= i <= j <= n - 1.
  • Select an integer x and add x to all the elements in nums[i..j].

Find the maximum frequency of the value k after the operation.

A subarray is a contiguous non-empty sequence of elements within an array.

Example 1:

Input: nums = [1,2,3,4,5,6], k = 1

Output: 2

Explanation: After adding -5 to nums[2..5], 1 has a frequency of 2 in [1, 2, -2, -1, 0, 1].

Example 2:

Input: nums = [10,2,3,4,5,5,4,3,2,2], k = 10

Output: 4

Explanation: After adding 8 to nums[1..9], 10 has a frequency of 4 in [10, 10, 11, 12, 13, 13, 12, 11, 10, 10].

Constraints:

  • 1 <= nums.length <= 100,000
  • 1 <= nums[i], k <= 50
