The problem

You are given a 0-indexed integer array nums and a positive integer k. We call an index i k-big if the following conditions are satisfied: There exist at least k different indices idx1 such that idx1 < i and nums[idx1] < nums[i].

Example

Input
nums = [2,3,6,5,2,3], k = 2
Output
2
Explanation
There are only two 2-big indices in nums:

Python solution

Python
class BinaryIndexedTree:
    def __init__(self, n):
        self.n = n
        self.c = [0] * (n + 1)

    def update(self, x, delta):
        while x <= self.n:
            self.c[x] += delta
            x += x & -x

    def query(self, x):
        s = 0
        while x:
            s += self.c[x]
            x -= x & -x
        return s


class Solution:
    def kBigIndices(self, nums: List[int], k: int) -> int:
        n = len(nums)
        tree1 = BinaryIndexedTree(n)
        tree2 = BinaryIndexedTree(n)
        for v in nums:
            tree2.update(v, 1)
        ans = 0
        for v in nums:
            tree2.update(v, -1)
            ans += tree1.query(v - 1) >= k and tree2.query(v - 1) >= k
            tree1.update(v, 1)
        return ans
