/** * 376. Wiggle Subsequence * https://leetcode.com/problems/wiggle-subsequence/ * Difficulty: Medium * * A wiggle sequence is a sequence where the differences between successive numbers strictly * alternate between positive and negative. The first difference (if one exists) may be either * positive or negative. A sequence with one element and a sequence with two non-equal elements * are trivially wiggle sequences. * - For example, [1, 7, 4, 9, 2, 5] is a wiggle sequence because the differences (6, -3, 5, -7, 3) * alternate between positive and negative. * - In contrast, [1, 4, 7, 2, 5] and [1, 7, 4, 5, 5] are not wiggle sequences. The first is not * because its first two differences are positive, and the second is not because its last * difference is zero. * * A subsequence is obtained by deleting some elements (possibly zero) from the original sequence, * leaving the remaining elements in their original order. * * Given an integer array nums, return the length of the longest wiggle subsequence of nums. */ /** * @param {number[]} nums * @return {number} */ var wiggleMaxLength = function(nums) { let up = 1; let down = 1; for (let i = 1; i < nums.length; i++) { if (nums[i] > nums[i - 1]) { up = down + 1; } else if (nums[i] < nums[i - 1]) { down = up + 1; } } return Math.max(up, down); };
