Given an 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.  It is guaranteed that such a partitioning exists.

 

Example 1:

Input: nums = [5,0,3,8,6]
Output: 3
Explanation: left = [5,0,3], right = [8,6]

Example 2:

Input: nums = [1,1,1,0,6,12]
Output: 4
Explanation: left = [1,1,1,0], right = [6,12]

 

Note:

1. 2 <= nums.length <= 30000
2. 0 <= nums[i] <= 106
3. It is guaranteed there is at least one way to partition nums as described.

   public int partitionDisjoint(int[] A) {
        int maxUntilI = A[0];
        int leftPartitionMax=A[0];
        int partitionSpot = 0;
        for(int i=1;i<A.length;i++){
            maxUntilI =Math.max(maxUntilI, A[i]) ;
            if(A[i]<leftPartitionMax){
                leftPartitionMax=maxUntilI;
                partitionSpot =i;
            }            
        }
        return partitionSpot+1;
    }
