Description
You are given a 0-indexed integer array nums. A subarray of nums is called continuous if:
- Let i, i + 1, ..., j be the indices in the subarray. Then, for each pair of indices i <= i1, i2 <= j, 0 <= |nums[i1] - nums[i2]| <= 2.
Return the total number of continuous subarrays.
A subarray is a contiguous non-empty sequence of elements within an array.
Example 1:
Input: nums = [5,4,2,4]
Output: 8
Explanation:
Continuous subarray of size 1: [5], [4], [2], [4].
Continuous subarray of size 2: [5,4], [4,2], [2,4].
Continuous subarray of size 3: [4,2,4].
There are no subarrys of size 4.
Total continuous subarrays = 4 + 3 + 1 = 8.
It can be shown that there are no more continuous subarrays.
Example 2:
Input: nums = [1,2,3]
Output: 6
Explanation:
Continuous subarray of size 1: [1], [2], [3].
Continuous subarray of size 2: [1,2], [2,3].
Continuous subarray of size 3: [1,2,3].
Total continuous subarrays = 3 + 2 + 1 = 6.
