Problem

A peak in an array arr is an element that is greater than its previous and next element in arr.

You are given an integer array nums and a 2D integer array queries.

You have to process queries of two types:

  • queries[i] = [1, li, ri], determine the count of peak elements in the subarray nums[li..ri].
  • queries[i] = [2, indexi, vali], change nums[indexi] to vali.

Return an array answer containing the results of the queries of the first type in order.

Notes:

  • The first and the last element of an array or a subarray cannot be a peak.

Examples

Example 1

 5
 6
 7
 8
 9
10


Input: nums = [3,1,4,2,5], queries = [[2,3,4],[1,0,4]]

Output: [0]

Explanation:

First query: We change `nums[3]` to 4 and `nums` becomes `[3,1,4,4,5]`.

Second query: The number of peaks in the `[3,1,4,4,5]` is 0.

Example 2

12


Input: nums = [4,1,4,2,1,5], queries = [[2,2,4],[1,0,2],[1,0,4]]

Output: [0,1]

Explanation:

First query: `nums[2]` should become 4, but it is already set to 4.

Second query: The number of peaks in the `[4,1,4]` is 0.

Third query: The second 4 is a peak in the `[4,1,4,2,1]`.

Constraints

  • 3 <= nums.length <= 10^5
  • 1 <= nums[i] <= 10^5
  • 1 <= queries.length <= 10^5
  • queries[i][0] == 1 or queries[i][0] == 2
  • For all i that:
  • queries[i][0] == 1: 0 <= queries[i][1] <= queries[i][2] <= nums.length - 1
  • queries[i][0] == 2: 0 <= queries[i][1] <= nums.length - 1, 1 <= queries[i][2] <= 10^5

Solution

Intuition

We need to efficiently support range peak queries and point updates. A peak is an element greater than its neighbors, and only elements at positions 1..n-2 can be peaks. We can use a Binary Indexed Tree (Fenwick Tree) or Segment Tree to maintain a binary array where 1 means the position is a peak, and 0 otherwise. For updates, only the updated index and its neighbors can change peak status.

Approach

  1. Precompute a binary array is_peak where is_peak[i] = 1 if nums[i] is a peak.
  2. Build a Fenwick Tree (or Segment Tree) over is_peak for range sum queries.
  3. For update queries, update nums[index] and recompute peak status for index-1, index, and index+1.
  4. For range queries, query the sum of is_peak in [li+1, ri-1] (since endpoints can’t be peaks).
