Breaking the Records

Problem Submissions Leaderboard

Maria plays college basketball and wants to go pro. Each season she maintains a record of her play. She tabulates the number of
times she breaks her season record for most points and least points in a game. Points scored in the first game establish her record
for the season, and she begins counting from there.

Example

Scores are in the same order as the games played. She tabulates her results as follows:

Count

Game Score Minimum Maximum Min Max

0 12 12 12 0 0

1 24 12 24 0 1

2 10 10 24 1 1

3 24 10 24 1 1

Given the scores for a season, determine the number of times Maria breaks her records for most and least points scored during the
season.

Function Description

Complete the breakingRecords function in the editor below.

breakingRecords has the following parameter(s):

int scores[n]: points scored per game

Returns

int[2]: An array with the numbers of times she broke her records. Index is for breaking most points records, and index is for
breaking least points records.

Input Format

Explanation 0

The diagram below depicts the number of times Maria broke her best and worst records throughout the season:

She broke her best record twice (after games and ) and her worst record four times (after games , , , and ), so we print 2 4
as our answer. Note that she did not break her record for best score during game , as her score during that game was not strictly
greater than her best record at the time.
