Shortest Unsorted Continuous Subarray

Given an integer array nums, you need to find one continuous subarray such that if you only sort this subarray in non-decreasing order, then the whole array will be sorted in non-decreasing order.

Return the shortest such subarray and output its length.

Follow up: Can you solve it in O(n) time complexity?

Example 1
Inputnums = [2,6,4,8,10,9,15]
Output5
You need to sort [6, 4, 8, 10, 9] in ascending order to make the whole array sorted in ascending order.
Example 2
Inputnums = [1,2,3,4]
Output0
The array is already sorted in non-decreasing order, so no subarray needs to be sorted.

Constraints

  • 1 <= nums.length <= 10^4
  • -10^5 <= nums[i] <= 10^5
