You are given an integer array nums of size n.
Consider a non-empty subarray from nums that has the maximum possible bitwise AND.
- In other words, let
kbe the maximum value of the bitwise AND of any subarray ofnums. Then, only subarrays with a bitwise AND equal tokshould be considered.
Return the length of the longest such subarray.
The bitwise AND of an array is the bitwise AND of all the numbers in it.
A subarray is a contiguous sequence of elements within an array.
Example 1:
Input: nums = [1,2,3,3,2,2] Output: 2 Explanation: The maximum possible bitwise AND of a subarray is 3. The longest subarray with that value is [3,3], so we return 2.
Example 2:
Input: nums = [1,2,3,4] Output: 1 Explanation: The maximum possible bitwise AND of a subarray is 4. The longest subarray with that value is [4], so we return 1.
Constraints:
1 <= nums.length <= 1051 <= nums[i] <= 106
Hints
Hint 1
Notice that the bitwise AND of two different numbers will always be strictly less than the maximum of those two numbers.
Hint 2
What does that tell us about the nature of the subarray that we should choose?
