Interesting Subarray Codechef Java Solution (SUBARRY)

Problem

• You are given an array A of length N.

• The interesting value of a subarray is defined as the product of the maximum and minimum elements of the subarray.

• Find the minimum and maximum interesting value over all subarrays for the given array.

• Note: A subarray is obtained by deletion of several (possibly zero) elements from the beginning of the array and several (possibly zero) elements from the end of the array.

Input Format

• The first line of input will contain a single integer T, denoting the number of test cases.
• The first line of each test case contains an integer N- the length of the array A.
• The second line of each test case contains N space-separated integers A1,A2,...AN .

Output Format

• For each test case, output two space-separated integers on a new line the minimum and maximum interesting value over all subarrays for the given array.

Constraints

• $1\le T\le 100$
• $1 \leq N \leq 10^5$
• $-10^9 \leq A_i \leq 10^9$
• The sum of $N$ over all test cases won't exceed $3 \cdot 10^5$.

Input

• 2 2 2 2 3 5 0 9

Output

• 4 4 0 81

Explanation:

Test case $1$: The minimum interesting value possible is $4$. A subarray with an interesting value equal to $4$ is $[2,2]$. Here, both minimum and maximum elements of the subarray are $2$. It can be proven that no subarray of the array has interesting value less than $4$.
The maximum interesting value possible is $4$. A subarray with an interesting value equal to $4$ is $[2,2]$. Here, both minimum and maximum elements of the subarray are $2$. It can be proven that no subarray of the array has interesting value greater than $4$.

Test case $2$: The minimum interesting value possible is $0$. A subarray with interesting value equal to $0$ is $[5, 0, 9]$. Here, minimum element is $0$ and maximum element is $9$. It can be proven that no subarray of the array has interesting value less than $0$.
The maximum interesting value possible is $81$. A subarray with interesting value equal to $81$ is $[9]$. Here, both minimum and maximum elements of the subarray are $9$. It can be proven that no subarray of the array has interesting value more than $81$.
