Investable Periods 🐿️
🔥 FULLTIME

A trading firm predicts the stock prices of a commodity for the next n days. A period of consecutive days is considered investable if the maximum price in the period is max_price, and the minimum price in the period is min_price. Find the number of investable periods in the next n days.

More formally, given an array price of length n, find the number of subarrays in which the maximum element is max_price and the minimum element is min_price. Note: A subarray is a sequence of consecutive elements of the array.
