Given an array arr[] of length N, the task is to find the number of non-decreasing sub-arrays of length K.
Examples: 
 

Input: arr[] = {1, 2, 3, 2, 5}, K = 2 
Output:
{1, 2}, {2, 3} and {2, 5} are the increasing 
subarrays of length 2.
Input: arr[] = {1, 2, 3, 2, 5}, K = 1 
Output:
 

 

Naive approach Generate all the sub-arrays of length K and then check whether the sub-array satisfies the condition. Thus, the time complexity of the approach will be O(N * K).
Better approach: A better approach will be using two-pointer technique. Let’s say the current index is i
 

  • Find the largest index j, such that the sub-array arr[i…j] is non-decreasing. This can be achieved by simply incrementing the value of j starting from i + 1 and checking whether arr[j] is greater than arr[j – 1].
  • Let’s say the length of the sub-array found in the previous step is L. The number of sub-arrays of length K contained in it will be max(L – K + 1, 0).
  • Now, update i = j and repeat the above steps while i is in the index range.

Below is the implementation of the above approach: 
 

C++




// C++ implementation of the approach
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Function to return the count of
// increasing subarrays of length k
int cntSubArrays(int* arr, int n, int k)
{
    // To store the final result
    int res = 0;
 
    int i = 0;
    // Two pointer loop
    while (i < n) {
 
        // Initialising j
        int j = i + 1;
 
        // Looping till the subarray increases
        while (j < n and arr[j] >= arr[j - 1])
            j++;
 
        // Updating the required count
        res += max(j - i - k + 1, 0);
 
        // Updating i
        i = j;
    }
 
    // Returning res
    return res;
}
 
// Driver code
int main()
{
    int arr[] = { 1, 2, 3, 2, 5 };
    int n = sizeof(arr) / sizeof(int);
    int k = 2;
 
    cout << cntSubArrays(arr, n, k);
 
    return 0;
}


Java




// Java implementation of the approach
class GFG
{
 
// Function to return the count of
// increasing subarrays of length k
static int cntSubArrays(int []arr, int n, int k)
{
    // To store the final result
    int res = 0;
 
    int i = 0;
     
    // Two pointer loop
    while (i < n)
    {
 
        // Initialising j
        int j = i + 1;
 
        // Looping till the subarray increases
        while (j < n && arr[j] >= arr[j - 1])
            j++;
 
        // Updating the required count
        res += Math.max(j - i - k + 1, 0);
 
        // Updating i
        i = j;
    }
 
    // Returning res
    return res;
}
 
// Driver code
public static void main(String []args)
{
    int arr[] = { 1, 2, 3, 2, 5 };
    int n = arr.length;
    int k = 2;
 
    System.out.println(cntSubArrays(arr, n, k));
}
}

Time Complexity: O(n)
Auxiliary Space: O(1)
