I'm glad to see that there is finally a formal definition of "beginners" regarding eligibility for prizes :)

    I used a map to keep track of starting index from which the subarray formed till current index has all unique values.I kept a Binary Indexed Tree for finding out the answer and now if the valid subarray length is x then I added 1 to the range [1,x]. While finding out answer I did Query(r)-Query(l-1).

    I have used range query range update for this.

    This is the AC solution : https://ideone.com/GdcBzO

    Ask if u have any doubts.

    Happy Coding :)

I am quite surprised that there are prizes for a beginner contest, wouldn't this encourage people smurfing?
