Whiteboard or Platform Coding

MediumPython

Problem

Solve a coding challenge on a whiteboard or coding platform for Beyondmath.

Implement longest_subarray_at_most_k_distinct(nums, k). Given an integer list and k, return the length of the longest contiguous subarray containing at most k distinct values.

The function returns an integer, and an empty result is valid when k is zero or the input is empty. Constraints: 0 <= len(nums) <= 10^4, 0 <= k <= 10^4, and each value is between -10^9 and 10^9.

Constraints

  • 0 <= nums.length <= 10^4
  • 0 <= k <= 10^4
  • -10^9 <= nums[i] <= 10^9

Function Signature

def longest_subarray_at_most_k_distinct(nums, k):
