Short Problem Definition:
Maria plays college basketball and wants to go pro. Each season she maintains a record of her play. She tabulates the number of times she breaks her season record for most points and least points in a game. Points scored in the first game establish her record for the season, and she begins counting from there.

Complexity:
time complexity is O(N)
space complexity is O(1)
Execution:
Just track the min and max.
Solution:
#!/bin/python
import sys
def getRecord(s):
min_ele = s[0]
max_ele = s[0]
min_cnt = 0
max_cnt = 0
for ele in s:
if ele > max_ele:
max_ele = ele
max_cnt += 1
if ele < min_ele:
min_ele = ele
min_cnt += 1
return [max_cnt, min_cnt]
n = int(raw_input().strip())
s = map(int, raw_input().strip().split(' '))
result = getRecord(s)
print " ".join(map(str, result))
