Length of longest increasing circular subarray

Given an array containing n numbers. The problem is to find the length of the longest contiguous subarray in a circular manner 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[] = {2, 3, 4, 5, 1}
Output : 5
{2, 3, 4, 5, 1} is the subarray if we circularly
start from the last element and then take the
first four elements. This will give us an increasing
subarray {1, 2, 3, 4, 5} in a circular manner.

Input : arr[] = {2, 3, 8, 4, 6, 7, 10, 12, 9, 1}
Output : 5

Recommended: Please try your approach on {IDE} first, before moving on to the solution.

Method 1 (Using extra space): Make a temp[] array of size 2*n. Copy the elements of arr[] in temp[] two times. Now, find length of Longest increasing subarray in temp[].

Method 2 (Without using extra space): Following are the steps:

If n == 1, return 1.
Find length of longest increasing subarray starting with first element of arr[]. Let its length be startLen.
Starting from the next element where the first increasing subarray ends, find the length of the longest increasing subarray. Let it be max.
Consider the length of the increasing subarray that ends with the last element of arr[]. Let it be endLen.
If arr[n-1] < arr[0], then endLen = endLen + startLen.
Finally, return maximum of (max, endLen, startLen).
