Problem
Given an integer array nums, return the number of all the arithmetic subsequences of nums.
A sequence of numbers is called arithmetic if it consists of at least three elements and if the difference between any two consecutive elements is the same.
- For example,
[1, 3, 5, 7, 9], [7, 7, 7, 7], and [3, -1, -5, -9] are arithmetic sequences.
- For example,
[1, 1, 2, 5, 7] is not an arithmetic sequence.
A subsequence of an array is a sequence that can be formed by removing some elements (possibly none) of the array.
- For example,
[2,5,10] is a subsequence of [1,2,1,**2**,4,1,**5**,**10**].
The test cases are generated so that the answer fits in 32-bit integer.
Examples
Constraints
1 <= nums.length <= 1000
