Problem

You are given an integer array nums of length n which represents a permutation of all the integers in the range [0, n - 1]. The number of global inversions is the number of the different pairs (i, j) where:
  • 0 <= i < j < n
  • nums[i] > nums[j]
The number of local inversions is the number of indices i where:
  • 0 <= i < n - 1
  • nums[i] > nums[i + 1]
Return true if the number of global inversions is equal to the number of local inversions.

Examples

Constraints

  • n == nums.length
  • 1 <= n <= 10^5
  • 0 <= nums[i] < n
  • All the integers of nums are unique.
  • nums is a permutation of all the numbers in the range [0, n - 1].
