HackerEarth Mancunian And Fantabulous Pairs solution

In this HackerEarth Mancunian And Fantabulous Pairs problem solution First off, some definitions. An array of length at least 2 having distinct integers is said to be fantabulous if the second highest element lies strictly to the left of the highest value. For example, [1, 2, 13, 10, 15] is fantabulous as the second-highest value 13 lies to the left of the highest value 15.

For every fantabulous array, we define a fantabulous pair (a, b) where a denotes the index of the second-highest value (1-indexed) and b denotes the index of the highest value (1-indexed). In the above array, the fantabulous pair is (3, 5).

Mancunian challenges you to solve the following problem. Given an array, find the total number of distinct fantabulous pairs overall its subarrays.
