题目描述
Bessie has recently received a painting set, and she wants to paint the long
fence at one end of her pasture. The fence consists of $N$ consecutive 1-meter
segments ($1\le N\le 2\cdot 10^5$). Bessie has $N$ different colors available,
which she labels with the letters $1$ through $N$ in increasing order of
darkness ($1$ is a very light color, and $N$ is very dark). She can therefore
describe the desired color she wants to paint each fence segment as an array of
$N$ integers.
Initially, all fence segments are uncolored. Bessie can color any contiguous
range of segments with a single color in a single brush stroke as long as she
never paints a lighter color over a darker color (she can only paint darker
colors over lighter colors).
For example, an initially uncolored segment of length four can be colored as
follows:
0000 -> 1110 -> 1122 -> 1332
Unfortunately, Bessie doesn't have time to waste watching paint dry. Thus, Bessie thinks she may need to leave some fence segments
unpainted! Currently, she is considering $Q$ candidate ranges
($1\le Q\le 2\cdot 10^5$), each described by two integers $(a,b)$ with
$1 \leq a \leq b \leq N$ giving the indices of endpoints of the range
$a \ldots b$ of segments to be painted.
For each candidate range, what is the minimum number of strokes needed to paint
every fence segment inside the range with its desired color while leaving all
fence segments outside the range uncolored? Note that Bessie does not actually
do any painting during this process, so the answers for each candidate range are
independent.
INPUT FORMAT (input arrives from the terminal / stdin):
The first line contains $N$ and $Q$.
The next line contains an array of $N$ integers representing the desired color
for each fence segment.
The next $Q$ lines each contain two space-separated integers $a$ and $b$
representing a candidate range to possibly paint.
OUTPUT FORMAT (print output to the terminal / stdout):
For each of the $Q$ candidates, output the answer on a new line.
SAMPLE INPUT:
8 4
1 2 2 1 1 2 3 2

1 6
5 8
SAMPLE OUTPUT:

In this example, the sub-range corresponding to the desired pattern
1 1 2
requires two strokes to paint. The sub-range corresponding to the desired
pattern
2 1 1 2
requires three strokes to paint. The sub-range corresponding to the desired
pattern
1 2 2 1 1 2
requires three strokes to paint. The sub-range corresponding to the desired
pattern
1 2 3 2
requires three strokes to paint.
SCORING:
Test cases 1-2 satisfy $N,Q\le 100$.Test cases 3-5 satisfy $N,Q\le 5000$.In test cases 6-10, the input array contains no integer greater than $10$.
Test cases 11-20 satisfy no additional constraints.
