Number of Arithmetic Triplets

You are given a 0-indexed, strictly increasing integer array nums and a positive integer diff. A triplet (i, j, k) is an arithmetic triplet if the following conditions are met:

i < j < k,

nums[j] - nums[i] == diff, and
nums[k] - nums[j] == diff.

Return the number of unique arithmetic triplets.

Example 1:

Input: nums = [0,1,4,6,7,10], diff = 3
Output: 2
Explanation:
(1, 2, 4) is an arithmetic triplet because both 7 - 4 == 3 and 4 - 1 == 3.
(2, 4, 5) is an arithmetic triplet because both 10 - 7 == 3 and 7 - 4 == 3.

Example 2:

Input: nums = [4,5,6,7,8,9], diff = 2
Output: 2
Explanation:
(0, 2, 4) is an arithmetic triplet because both 8 - 6 == 2 and 6 - 4 == 2.
(1, 3, 5) is an arithmetic triplet because both 9 - 7 == 2 and 7 - 5 == 2.

Solution

class Solution:
    def arithmeticTriplets(self, nums: List[int], diff: int) -> int:
        nums = set(nums)
        cnt = 0
        for num in nums:
            if num + diff in nums and num + (2 * diff) in nums:
                cnt += 1
        return cnt
