#K72272. Find the K-th Peak in an Array
Find the K-th Peak in an Array
Find the K-th Peak in an Array
You are given an array of integers. A peak in the array is an element that is strictly greater than its immediate neighbors. In other words, an index \(i\) (with \(1 \le i \le n-2\)) is a peak if \(a_i > a_{i-1}\) and \(a_i > a_{i+1}\). Your task is to find the \(k\)-th peak in the array. If the \(k\)-th peak does not exist, output -1.
Note: For an array of size less than 3, there cannot be any peaks.
Example:
- For array [1, 3, 2, 4, 5, 2, 1] and \(k = 1\), the peaks are 3 and 5. The 1st peak is 3.
- For array [1, 2, 3, 4, 3, 2] and \(k = 2\), there is only one peak (4), so the answer is -1.
inputFormat
The input is read from stdin and is formatted as follows:
T n1 k1 a11 a12 ... a1n1 n2 k2 a21 a22 ... a2n2 ... nT kT aT1 aT2 ... aTnT
Where:
- T is the number of test cases.
- For each test case, the first line contains two integers: n (the number of elements in the array) and k (the peak index to find).
- The second line contains n space-separated integers representing the array.
outputFormat
For each test case, print the k-th peak in the array on a new line. If the k-th peak does not exist, print -1.
