Question

I’m trying to see if any series of data, beginning at array position 0, is contiguous in the sense that array[0] has a numerical value of 0, array[1] has a numerical value of 1, and so on. For example:

    private void isContiguous(int[] array, int position){
        for(int i = 1; i < array.length; i ++){
            if(!array[i].equals(null)){
                long previous = this.extract_long(array[i - 1], OFFSET);
                long current = this.extract_long(array[i], OFFSET);
                    if((previousOffset/PACKET_LENGTH) < ){

                }
            }
        }
    }

is about as far as I can think of for a general solution. This is kinda bending my mind so it’d be nice to have some help 🙂

Answer 1

Something to start with:

public static boolean isContiguous(int[] array) {
  for (int i = 0; i < array.length-1; i++) {
     if (array[i+1]-array[i] != 1) {
        return false;
     }
  }
  return true;
}

(I don’t know why you need position, OFFSET, and so on, but the above code should fulfill the written requirement)
