Maximum Distance Problem Statement
Given an integer array 'A' of size N, your task is to find the maximum value of j - i, with the restriction that A[i] <= A[j], where 'i' and 'j' are indices of the array.
Input:
The input begins with an integer 'T', indicating the number of test cases. Each test case consists of two lines:
The first line contains an integer 'N' representing the size of the array.
The second line contains 'N' space-separated integers denoting the elements of the array.
Output:
For each test case, output a single integer on a new line, representing the maximum possible value of j - i meeting the condition A[i] <= A[j].
Example:
Input:
A = [3, 5, 4, 1]
Output:
2
Explanation:
The maximum distance occurs for the pair (3, 4), giving a distance of 2.
Constraints:
1 <= T <= 100
1 <= N <= 10^4
-10^5 <= A[i] <= 10^5
Time limit: 1 second per test case.
Note:
There is no need to print anything explicitly. Implement the required function to generate the output.
Follow-Up:
Consider solving this problem with O(N) time complexity.
