Java: Find and print one continuous subarray to sort an entire array

Java Array: Exercise-72 with Solution

Write a Java program to find and print one continuous subarray (from a given array of integers) that if you only sort the said subarray in ascending order then the entire array will be sorted in ascending order.

Example:
Input :
nums1 = {1, 2, 3, 0, 4, 6}
nums2 = { 1, 3, 2, 7, 5, 6, 4, 8}
Output:
Continuous subarray:
1 2 3 0
Continuous subarray:
3 2 7 5 6 4

Sample Solution:

Java Code:

import java.util.Arrays;
public class solution {
public static int[] findUnsortedSubarray(int[] nums) {
			int[] result = new int[3];
            int n = nums.length;
            int start = -1;
            int end = -2;
            int min = nums[n - 1];
            int max = nums[0];
            for (int i = 1; i < n; i++) {
                max = Math.max(max, nums[i]);
                min = Math.min(min, nums[n - 1 - i]);
                if (nums[i] < max) {
                    end = i;
                }
                if (nums[n - 1 - i] > min) {
                    start = n - 1 - i;
                }
            }
           		result[0] = start;
		    result[1] = end;

			return result;
        }
    
  public static void main(String[] args)
  {
    int[] nums1 = {1, 2, 3, 0, 4, 6};
	System.out.printf("\nOriginal array: "+Arrays.toString(nums1));	

	int[] result1 = findUnsortedSubarray(nums1);
	System.out.printf("\nContinuous subarray:\n");
	for(int i=result1[0]; i<=result1[1]; i++){
        System.out.print(nums1[i] +" ");
        }
	
	int[] nums2 = { 1, 3, 2, 7, 5, 6, 4, 8};
	System.out.printf("\n\nOriginal array: "+Arrays.toString(nums2));	
    System.out.printf("\nContinuous subarray:\n"); 
	int[] result2 = findUnsortedSubarray(nums2);
	
	for(int i=result2[0]; i<=result2[1]; i++){
        System.out.print(nums2[i] +" ");
        }
   }  
}

Sample Output:

Original array: [1, 2, 3, 0, 4, 6]
Continuous subarray:
1 2 3 0 

Original array: [1, 3, 2, 7, 5, 6, 4, 8]
Continuous subarray:
3 2 7 5 6 4

Java: Tips of the Day

distinctValuesOfArray

Returns all the distinct values of an array.

Uses Arrays.stream().distinct() to discard all duplicated values.

public static int[] distinctValuesOfArray(int[] elements) {
    return Arrays.stream(elements).distinct().toArray();
}
