Given an integer array instructions
, you are asked to create a sorted array from the elements in instructions
. You start with an empty container nums
. For each element from left to right in instructions
, insert it into nums
. The cost of each insertion is the minimum of the following:
nums
that are strictly less than instructions[i]
.nums
that are strictly greater than instructions[i]
.For example, if inserting element 3
into nums = [1,2,3,5]
, the cost of insertion is min(2, 1)
(elements 1
and 2
are less than 3
, element 5
is greater than 3
) and nums
will become [1,2,3,3,5]
.
Return the total cost to insert all elements from instructions
into nums
. Since the answer may be large, return it modulo 109 + 7

Example 1:
\r\n\r\n\r\nInput: instructions = [1,5,6,2]\r\nOutput: 1\r\nExplanation: Begin with nums = [].\r\nInsert 1 with cost min(0, 0) = 0, now nums = [1].\r\nInsert 5 with cost min(1, 0) = 0, now nums = [1,5].\r\nInsert 6 with cost min(2, 0) = 0, now nums = [1,5,6].\r\nInsert 2 with cost min(1, 2) = 1, now nums = [1,2,5,6].\r\nThe total cost is 0 + 0 + 0 + 1 = 1.\r\n\r\n
Example 2:
\r\n\r\n\r\nInput: instructions = [1,2,3,6,5,4]\r\nOutput: 3\r\nExplanation: Begin with nums = [].\r\nInsert 1 with cost min(0, 0) = 0, now nums = [1].\r\nInsert 2 with cost min(1, 0) = 0, now nums = [1,2].\r\nInsert 3 with cost min(2, 0) = 0, now nums = [1,2,3].\r\nInsert 6 with cost min(3, 0) = 0, now nums = [1,2,3,6].\r\nInsert 5 with cost min(3, 1) = 1, now nums = [1,2,3,5,6].\r\nInsert 4 with cost min(3, 2) = 2, now nums = [1,2,3,4,5,6].\r\nThe total cost is 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 1 + 2 = 3.\r\n\r\n\r\n
Example 3:
\r\n\r\n\r\nInput: instructions = [1,3,3,3,2,4,2,1,2]\r\nOutput: 4\r\nExplanation: Begin with nums = [].\r\nInsert 1 with cost min(0, 0) = 0, now nums = [1].\r\nInsert 3 with cost min(1, 0) = 0, now nums = [1,3].\r\nInsert 3 with cost min(1, 0) = 0, now nums = [1,3,3].\r\nInsert 3 with cost min(1, 0) = 0, now nums = [1,3,3,3].\r\nInsert 2 with cost min(1, 3) = 1, now nums = [1,2,3,3,3].\r\nInsert 4 with cost min(5, 0) = 0, now nums = [1,2,3,3,3,4].\r\nInsert 2 with cost min(1, 4) = 1, now nums = [1,2,2,3,3,3,4].\r\nInsert 1 with cost min(0, 6) = 0, now nums = [1,1,2,2,3,3,3,4].\r\nInsert 2 with cost min(2, 4) = 2, now nums = [1,1,2,2,2,3,3,3,4].\r\nThe total cost is 0 + 0 + 0 + 0 + 1 + 0 + 1 + 0 + 2 = 4.\r\n\r\n\r\n
