Solution: Reverse Pairs

Explore how to count reverse pairs in an integer array with an efficient divide-and-conquer method. This lesson guides you through using a modified merge sort to identify reverse pairs by sorting subarrays and scanning them with two pointers. Understand how sorting and searching reduce time complexity from brute force to O(n log n) and gain skills to apply this pattern to similar coding interview problems.

Statement

You are given an integer array, nums. Your task is to count how many reverse pairs exist in the array and return the total number of such pairs. ...
