Hi,
I am having an issue with understanding this problem.
As per the problem , it was supposed to print true if we can split the first sequence in strictly decreasing and other in strictly increasing order.
For the given series of
1 2 3 4 5
How is this possible?
Please let me know if i am missing something.
Hello @idontknowhowtocode,
Hello,
You are given a sequence of numbers.
you don’t have to split the sequence.
what you are required to do is to keep track of whether the sequence is:
if yes,
print true
else,
print false
strict function: which do not contain the same number at consecutive positions i.e. same values cannot occur one after other.
example: [1, 1, 2] This is not a strict function as there are two 1 at consecutive locations.
Hint: there should be no decrease in sequence if it once starts increasing i.e. first increasing then decreasing returns false. eg. [2,4,7,3,1] (not accepted)
In the series, you have given, the decreasing sequence is null/empty.
Thus, falling into point 1.
Hope, this would help.
if you still have doubts, feel free to ask.
Give a like if you are satisfied.
Hello so you are saying if input is 1 2 3 4 5, then answer will be true bcz it is strictly increasing.
if input is 8 7 6 5 4 3 it will be also true bcz of strictly decreasing.
if I/p is 1 2 3 4 9 8 7 6 it will be false, bcz in first it was increasing and then it decreases.
but if it is 9 8 7 6 1 2 3 it will be true?
Right?
okay one llast doubt, will this be
1 3 4 5 6
True?
