Longest Subarray With Condition

MediumPython

Problem

Given an array of integers, find the longest subarray that satisfies a specific condition. For this task, the condition is that the subarray's sum is less than or equal to zero. Implement longest_nonpositive_subarray(nums), returning the maximum length as an integer, or 0 when no such subarray exists. For example, [3, 4, -7, 1, 2, -6, 4] returns 6, and [1, 2, 3] returns 0.

Constraints

  • 1 <= nums.length <= 1000
  • -10^9 <= nums[i] <= 10^9
  • A valid subarray must be contiguous
  • Return only the maximum length, not the subarray itself
