Count of indices in an array that satisfy the given condition
Last Updated :

Given an array arr[] of N positive integers, the task is to find the count of indices i such that all the elements from arr[0] to arr[i - 1] are smaller than arr[i].
Examples:
Input: arr[] = {1, 2, 3, 4}
Output: 4
All indices satisfy the given condition.
Input: arr[] = {4, 3, 2, 1}
Output: 1
Only i = 0 is the valid index.
Approach: The idea is to traverse the array from left to right and keep track of the current maximum, whenever this maximum changes then the current index is a valid index so increment the resulting counter.
Below is the implementation of the above approach:
C++
// C++ implementation of the approach
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
// Function to return the count
// of indices that satisfy
// the given condition
int countIndices(int arr[], int n)
{
// To store the result
int cnt = 0;
// To store the current maximum
// Initialized to 0 since there are only
// positive elements in the array
int max = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
// i is a valid index
if (max < arr[i]) {
// Update the maximum so far
max = arr[i];
// Increment the counter
cnt++;
}
}
return cnt;
}
// Driver code
int main()
{
int arr[] = { 1, 2, 3, 4 };
int n = sizeof(arr) / sizeof(int);
cout << countIndices(arr, n);
return 0;
}
Java
// Java implementation of the approach
class GFG
{
// Function to return the count
// of indices that satisfy
// the given condition
static int countIndices(int arr[], int n)
{
// To store the result
int cnt = 0;
// To store the current maximum
// Initialized to 0 since there are only
// positive elements in the array
int max = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < n; i++)
{
// i is a valid index
if (max < arr[i])
{
// Update the maximum so far
max = arr[i];
// Increment the counter
cnt++;
}
}
return cnt;
}
// Driver code
public static void main(String[] args)
{
int arr[] = { 1, 2, 3, 4 };
int n = arr.length;
System.out.println(countIndices(arr, n));
}
}

def countIndices(arr, n):
# To store the result
cnt = 0;
# To store the current maximum
# Initialized to 0 since there are only
# positive elements in the array
max = 0;
for i in range(n):
# i is a valid index
if (max < arr[i]):
# Update the maximum so far
max = arr[i];
# Increment the counter
cnt += 1;
return cnt;
# Driver code
if __name__ == '__main__':
arr = [ 1, 2, 3, 4 ];
n = len(arr);
print(countIndices(arr, n));

static int countIndices(int []arr, int n)
{

int cnt = 0;
// To store the current maximum
// Initialized to 0 since there are only
// positive elements in the array
int max = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < n; i++)
{
// i is a valid index
if (max < arr[i])
{
// Update the maximum so far
max = arr[i];
// Increment the counter
cnt++;
}
}
return cnt;
}
// Driver code
public static void Main(String[] args)
{
int []arr = { 1, 2, 3, 4 };
