Longest increasing subarray
Given an array containing n numbers. The problem is to find the length of the longest contiguous subarray such that every element in the subarray is strictly greater than its previous element in the same subarray. Time Complexity should be O(n).
Examples:
Input : arr[] = {5, 6, 3, 5, 7, 8, 9, 1, 2} Output : 5 The subarray is {3, 5, 7, 8, 9} Input : arr[] = {12, 13, 1, 5, 4, 7, 8, 10, 10, 11} Output : 4 The subarray is {4, 7, 8, 10}
Algorithm:
lenOfLongIncSubArr(arr, n) Declare max = 1, len = 1 for i = 1 to n-1 if arr[i] > arr[i-1] len++ else if max < len max = len len = 1 if max < len max = len return max
Implementation:
C++
// C++ implementation to find the length of // longest increasing contiguous subarray #include <bits/stdc++.h> using namespace std; // function to find the length of longest increasing // contiguous subarray int lenOfLongIncSubArr( int arr[], int n) { // 'max' to store the length of longest // increasing subarray // 'len' to store the lengths of longest // increasing subarray at different // instants of time int max = 1, len = 1; // traverse the array from the 2nd element for ( int i=1; i<n; i++) { // if current element if greater than previous // element, then this element helps in building // up the previous increasing subarray encountered // so far if (arr[i] > arr[i-1]) len++; else { // check if 'max' length is less than the length // of the current increasing subarray. If true, // then update 'max' if (max < len) max = len; // reset 'len' to 1 as from this element // again the length of the new increasing // subarray is being calculated len = 1; } } // comparing the length of the last // increasing subarray with 'max' if (max < len) max = len; // required maximum length return max; } // Driver program to test above int main() { int arr[] = {5, 6, 3, 5, 7, 8, 9, 1, 2}; int n = sizeof (arr) / sizeof (arr[0]); cout << "Length = " << lenOfLongIncSubArr(arr, n); return 0; } |

How to print the subarray?
We can print the subarray by keeping track of the index with the largest length.
