674. Longest Continuous Increasing Subsequence
May 17, 2024 · View on GitHub
Description
Given an unsorted array of integers nums, return the length of the longest continuous increasing subsequence (i.e. subarray). The subsequence must be strictly increasing.
A continuous increasing subsequence is defined by two indices l and r (l < r) such that it is [nums[l], nums[l + 1], ..., nums[r - 1], nums[r]] and for each l <= i < r, nums[i] < nums[i + 1].
Example 1:
Input: nums = [1,3,5,4,7] Output: 3 Explanation: The longest continuous increasing subsequence is [1,3,5] with length 3. Even though [1,3,5,7] is an increasing subsequence, it is not continuous as elements 5 and 7 are separated by element 4.
Example 2:
Input: nums = [2,2,2,2,2] Output: 1 Explanation: The longest continuous increasing subsequence is [2] with length 1. Note that it must be strictly increasing.
Constraints:
1 <= nums.length <= 104-109 <= nums[i] <= 109
Solutions
Solution 1: One-pass Scan
We can traverse the array , using a variable to record the length of the current consecutive increasing sequence. Initially, .
Then, we start from index and traverse the array to the right. Each time we traverse, if , it means that the current element can be added to the consecutive increasing sequence, so we set , and then update the answer to . Otherwise, it means that the current element cannot be added to the consecutive increasing sequence, so we set .
After the traversal ends, we return the answer .
The time complexity is , where is the length of the array . The space complexity is .

Solution 2: Two Pointers
We can also use two pointers and to find each consecutive increasing sequence, and find the length of the longest consecutive increasing sequence as the answer.
The time complexity is , where is the length of the array . The space complexity is .
