Monotonic Array Problem & Solution

An array is monotonic if it is either monotone increasing or monotone decreasing.

An array nums is monotone increasing if for all i <= j, nums[i] <= nums[j]. An array nums is monotone decreasing if for all i <= j, nums[i] >= nums[j].

Given an integer array nums, return true if the given array is monotonic, or false otherwise.

See the monotonic array problem on LeetCode.

C++ Solution

#pragma GCC optimize("Ofast")
#pragma GCC optimization("unroll-loops")

static const int _=[](){std::ios::sync_with_stdio(false);cin.tie(nullptr);cout.tie(nullptr);return 0;}();

class Solution {
public:
  bool isMonotonic(vector<int>& nums) {
    bool increasing = true;
    bool decreasing = true;
    for (int i = 1; i < nums.size(); ++i) {
      increasing &= nums[i - 1] <= nums[i];
      decreasing &= nums[i - 1] >= nums[i];
    }

    return increasing || decreasing;
  }
};
