Longest Subarray With Maximum Bitwise AND

Medium

You receive an integer array nums of size n .

Consider a non-empty sublist from nums that has the maximum possible bitwise AND .

  • In other words, let k be the maximum value of the bitwise AND of any sublist of nums . Then, only subarrays with a bitwise AND equal to k should be considered.

Produce the length of the longest such subarray .

The bitwise AND of an list is the bitwise AND of all the numbers in it.

A sublist 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 <= 10^5
  • 1 <= nums[i] <= 10^6
