Switch branches/tags

Name already in use

A tag already exists with the provided branch name. Many Git commands accept both tag and branch names, so creating this branch may cause unexpected behavior. Are you sure you want to create this branch?

Given an integer array, you need to find one continuous subarray that if you only sort this subarray in ascending order, then the whole array will be sorted in ascending order, too.

You need to find the shortest such subarray and output its length.

Example 1:
Input: [2, 6, 4, 8, 10, 9, 15]
Output: 5
Explanation: You need to sort [6, 4, 8, 10, 9] in ascending order to make the whole array sorted in ascending order.
Note:
Then length of the input array is in range [1, 10,000].
The input array may contain duplicates, so ascending order here means <=.
class Solution(object):
    def findUnsortedSubarray(self, nums):
        """
        :type nums: List[int]
        :rtype: int
        """
        ori_nums=[]
        ori_nums+=nums
        nums.sort()
        start=0
        for i in range(len(nums)):
            if ori_nums[i]==nums[i]:
                start+=1
            else:
                break
        if start==len(nums):
            return 0
        end=len(nums)
        for i in range(len(nums)-1,-1,-1):
            if ori_nums[i]==nums[i]:
                end-=1
            else:
                break
        return end-start
