The problem

You are given a 0-indexed integer array nums. The distinct count of a subarray of nums is defined as: Let nums[i..j] be a subarray of nums consisting of all the indices from i to j such that 0 <= i <= j < nums.length.

Example

Input
nums = [1,2,1]
Output
15
Explanation
Six possible subarrays are:
