#C11124. Interesting Queue
Interesting Queue
Interesting Queue
You are given a queue of N people, where the height of the i-th person in the queue is given by A[i]
. A queue is considered interesting if for every consecutive pair of people, the absolute difference of their heights is at most 1, i.e. for every i (1 ≤ i < N),
\(|A[i] - A[i+1]| \le 1\)
Your task is to determine whether the given queue is interesting. If it is, output 0 (indicating no operations are needed); otherwise, output -1 (indicating it is impossible to make the queue interesting by any allowed operations).
Note: In this problem, you are not allowed to change the order of the queue. You only need to check the current configuration. The only valid outputs are 0 if the queue is already interesting, and -1 otherwise.
inputFormat
The first line contains an integer T (T ≥ 1) representing the number of test cases.
Each test case consists of two lines:
- The first line contains an integer N (1 ≤ N ≤ 105), the number of people in the queue.
- The second line contains N space-separated integers
A[0] A[1] ... A[N-1]
, whereA[i]
represents the height of the i-th person.
The sum of N over all test cases does not exceed 106.
outputFormat
For each test case, output a single line containing a single integer: 0 if the queue is interesting (i.e. |A[i]-A[i+1]| ≤ 1
for every adjacent pair), or -1 if it is not.
