398. Smallest Stable Index I
EasyArray
You are given an integer array nums of length n and an integer k. For each index i, define its instability score as max(nums[0..i]) - min(nums[i..n - 1]). In other words: - max(nums[0..i]) is the largest value among the elements from index 0 to index i. - min(nums[i..n - 1]) is the smallest value among the elements from index i to index n - 1. An index i is called stable if its instability score is less than or equal to k. Return the smallest stable index. If no such index exists, return -1.
Examples
Input: [5,0,1,4] 3
Output: 3
Explanation: prefixMax = [5,5,5,5], suffixMin = [0,0,1,4]. Scores are [5,5,4,1]; index 3 is the first with score 1 <= 3.
Constraints
- 1 <= nums.length <= 100
- 0 <= nums[i] <= 10^9
- 0 <= k <= 10^9
