Partition Array Into Disjoint Intervals Problem
Description
LeetCode Problem 915.
Given an integer array nums, partition it into two (contiguous) subarrays left and right so that:
- Every element in left is less than or equal to every element in right.
- left and right are non-empty.
- left has the smallest possible size.
Return the length of left after such a partitioning.
Test cases are generated such that partitioning exists.
Example 1:
1

3
Input: nums = [5,0,3,8,6]
Output: 3
Explanation: left = [5,0,3], right = [8,6]
Example 2:
1
2
3
Input: nums = [1,1,1,0,6,12]
Output: 4
Explanation: left = [1,1,1,0], right = [6,12]
Constraints:
- 2 <= nums.length <= 10^5
- 0 <= nums[i] <= 10^6
- There is at least one valid answer for the given input.
