Official algorithmic problem description and constraints.
An array is considered special if every pair of its adjacent elements contains two numbers with different parity.
You are given an array of integers nums. Return true if nums is a special array, otherwise, return false.
Example 1:
Input: nums = [1]
Output: true
Explanation:
There is only one element. So the answer is true.
Example 2:
Input: nums = [2,1,4]
Output: true
Explanation:
There is only two pairs: (2,1) and (1,4), and both of them contain numbers with different parity. So the answer is true.
Example 3:
Input: nums = [4,3,1,6]
Output: false
Explanation:
nums[1] and nums[2] are both odd. So the answer is false.
Constraints:
1 <= nums.length <= 1001 <= nums[i] <= 100Detailed video explanations, mathematical intuition, and clean C++ implementation code.
