The distance of the pair is j - i​​​​. * * Return the maximum distance of any valid pair (i, j). If there are no valid pairs, return 0. * * An array arr is non-increasing if arr[i-1] >= arr[i] for every 1 <= i < arr.length. * * Example 1: * * Input: nums1 = [55,30,5,4,2], nums2 = [100,20,10,10,5] * Output: 2 * Explanation: The valid pairs are (0,0), (2,2), (2,3), (2,4), (3,3), (3,4), and (4,4). * The maximum distance is 2 with pair (2,4). * * Example 2: * * Input: nums1 = [2,2,2], nums2 = [10,10,1] * Output: 1 * Explanation: The valid pairs are (0,0), (0,1), and (1,1). * The maximum distance is 1 with pair (0,1). * * Example 3: * * Input: nums1 = [30,29,19,5], nums2 = [25,25,25,25,25] * Output: 2 * Explanation: The valid pairs are (2,2), (2,3), (2,4), (3,3), and (3,4). * The maximum distance is 2 with pair (2,4). * * Example 4: * * Input: nums1 = [5,4], nums2 = [3,2] * Output: 0 * Explanation: There are no valid pairs, so return 0. * * Constraints: * * 1 <= nums1.length <= 10^5 * 1 <= nums2.length <= 10^5 * 1 <= nums1[i], nums2[j] <= 10^5 * Both nums1 and nums2 are non-increasing. ******************************************************************************************************/ class Solution { public: int maxDistance(vector& nums1, vector& nums2) { return maxDistance2(nums1, nums2); return maxDistance1(nums1, nums2); } int binary_search(vector& nums, int start, int target) { int end = nums.size() - 1; while (start <= end) { int mid = start + (end - start) /2; if(nums[mid] < target) end = mid - 1; else start = mid+1; } return end; } int maxDistance1(vector& nums1, vector& nums2) { int mDist=0; int right = nums2.size() - 1; for(int i=0; i& nums1, vector& nums2) { int i=0, j=0, dist = 0; while (i < nums1.size() && j < nums2.size() ){ if ( nums1[i] > nums2[j] ) i++; else dist = max(dist, j++ - i); } return dist; } };
