Squares of a Sorted Array

TCS NQT Coding Easy

Given an integer array nums sorted in non-decreasing order, return an array of the squares of each number sorted in non-decreasing order.

Examples:

Input: nums = [-4,-1,0,3,10]

Output: [0,1,9,16,100]

Explanation: After squaring, the array becomes [16,1,0,9,100]. After sorting, it becomes [0,1,9,16,100].

Input: nums = [-7,-3,2,3,11]

Output: [4,9,9,49,121]

Input: nums = [0,2,4,6,8]

Output: [0,4,16,36,64]

Constraints

  • 1 <= nums.length <= 104
  • -104 <= nums[i] <= 104
  • nums is sorted in non-decreasing order.
