Every Sublist Min Sum- Google Top Interview Questions


Problem Statement :


You are given a list of integers nums. 
Return the sum of min(x) for every sublist x in nums. 
Mod the result by 10 ** 9 + 7.

Constraints

n ≤ 100,000 where n is the length of nums

Example 1

Input

nums = [1, 2, 4, 3]

Output

20

Explanation

We have the following sublists and their mins:


min([1]) = 1

min([1, 2]) = 1

min([1, 2, 4]) = 1

min([1, 2, 4, 3]) = 1

min([2]) = 2

min([2, 4]) = 2

min([2, 4, 3]) = 2

min([4]) = 4

min([4, 3]) = 3

min([3]) = 3

                        Solution in C++ :

int solve(vector<int>& nums) {
    int n = nums.size();
    int pref[n + 1] = {};
    stack<int> s;  // Initialising prefix  array and stack
    int ans = 0, j = 0, mod = 1e9 + 7;
    for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
        while (!s.empty() && nums[s.top()] >= nums[i])
            s.pop();  // iterating back till we find an index where the minimum of the list if we go
                      // any further left will change

        if (s.empty())
            j = -1;  // we are calculating j just for calculating the count for which nums[i] will
                     // appear  as minimum in the sublist we have created by going left
        else
            j = s.top();
        s.push(i);

        pref[i + 1] = (pref[j + 1] + (i - j) * nums[i]) %
                      mod;  // here maintaining prefix array--Read the implementation part
        ans = (ans + pref[i + 1]) % mod;
    }
    return ans;
