1671. Minimum Number of Removals to Make Mountain Array
https://leetcode.com/problems/minimum-number-of-removals-to-make-mountain-array
Description
You may recall that an array arr
is a mountain array if and only if:
arr.length >= 3
There exists some index
i
(0-indexed) with0 < i < arr.length - 1
such that:arr[0] < arr[1] < ... < arr[i - 1] < arr[i]
arr[i] > arr[i + 1] > ... > arr[arr.length - 1]
Given an integer array nums
, return the minimum number of elements to remove to make nums**
a mountain array.
Example 1:
**Input:** nums = [1,3,1]
**Output:** 0
**Explanation:** The array itself is a mountain array so we do not need to remove any elements.
Example 2:
**Input:** nums = [2,1,1,5,6,2,3,1]
**Output:** 3
**Explanation:** One solution is to remove the elements at indices 0, 1, and 5, making the array nums = [1,5,6,3,1].
Example 3:
**Input:** nums = [4,3,2,1,1,2,3,1]
**Output:** 4
Example 4:
**Input:** nums = [1,2,3,4,4,3,2,1]
**Output:** 1
Constraints:
3 <= nums.length <= 1000
1 <= nums[i] <= 109
It is guaranteed that you can make a mountain array out of
nums
.
