Problem

Given a sorted integer array nums and three integers a, b and c, apply a quadratic function of the form f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c to each element nums[i] in the array, and return the array in a sorted order.

Examples

Constraints

  • 1 <= nums.length <= 200
  • -100 <= nums[i], a, b, c <= 100
  • nums is sorted in ascending order.
