You are given an integer array prices
representing the daily price history of a stock, where prices[i]
is the stock price on the ith
day.
A smooth descent period of a stock consists of one or more contiguous days such that the price on each day is lower than the price on the preceding day by exactly 1
. The first day of the period is exempted from this rule.
Return the number of *smooth descent periods*.
Example 1:
Input: prices = [3,2,1,4] Output: 7 Explanation: There are 7 smooth descent periods: [3], [2], [1], [4], [3,2], [2,1], and [3,2,1] Note that a period with one day is a smooth descent period by the definition.
Example 2:
Input: prices = [8,6,7,7] Output: 4 Explanation: There are 4 smooth descent periods: [8], [6], [7], and [7] Note that [8,6] is not a smooth descent period as 8 - 6 ≠ 1.
Example 3:
Input: prices = [1] Output: 1 Explanation: There is 1 smooth descent period: [1]
Constraints:
-
1 ⇐ prices.length ⇐ 105
-
1 ⇐ prices[i] ⇐ 105
