HackerEarth B-Sequence problem solution

In this HackerEarth B-Sequence problem solution Any sequence A of size n is called B-sequence if:

A1 < A2 < … Ak > Ak+1 > Ak+2 > … > An where 1 <= k <= n. That is, a sequence which is initially strictly increasing and then strictly decreasing (the decreasing part may or may not be there).
All elements in A except the maximum element come almost twice (once in increasing part and once in decreasing part) and the maximum element comes exactly once.
All elements coming in decreasing part of the sequence should have come once in the increasing part of the sequence.

You are given a B-sequence S and Q operations. For each operation, you are given a value val. You have to insert val in S if and only if after insertion, S still remains a B-sequence.

After each operation, print the size of S. After all the operations, print the sequence S.
