Longest Threshold-Consecutive Sequence

MediumPython

Problem

Write a Python function to find the longest consecutive sequence of sensor readings that fall within a specific operational threshold.

Treat consecutive readings as adjacent elements in the input order. Given a list of numeric readings and inclusive lower and upper threshold bounds, return the length of the longest contiguous sequence whose every reading is within the bounds. Return 0 when no reading satisfies the threshold.

Constraints

  • 0 <= len(readings) <= 1000
  • -10^9 <= readings[i] <= 10^9
  • -10^9 <= lower <= upper <= 10^9
  • A sequence must use adjacent readings from the original order
