There are many flaws in this code.

  1. Base case is len <= 0 so, when len = 1, the index of a[len-2] will become negative.
  2. in is a global variable, you'll have to add in = 0 before the if statement.

Even if you correct these flaws, the basic flaw is that this method will give you a subsequence instead of a subarray.

For example, for the input 1 2 3 10 4 5 6, your output will be 6 (after correcting the mentioned 2 points).

      Recursive code which will give TLE
      Memoized version of the same code
      No dp required

      I'd strictly recommend you to learn dp first or you might not understand my solution.

    I am having some problem with same question i have applied non dp version same as yours but i am still getting wrong ans in test 5

    heres the code import java.util.Scanner;

    /** * A702 */ public class A702 {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
    Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
    int n = sc.nextInt();
    int a[] = new int[n];
    int highest = 1;

    for (int i = 0; i < a.length; i++) {
        a[i] = sc.nextInt();
    }
    int current = 1;
    for (int i = 1; i < a.length; i++) {
        if (a[i] > a[i - 1]) {
            current++;
        } else if ( current > highest) {
            highest = current;
            current = 1;
        }
    }

    if (current > highest) {
        highest = current;
    }

    System.out.println(highest);

}

    }

      My first ever Java Submission on any website, for you.
      (Well actually 2nd, because 1st was compilation error.)

      Change:

      if (a[i] > a[i - 1]) {
    current++;
} else {
   if ( current > highest) {
        highest = current;
   }
   current = 1; // This has to be done evertime you see non-increasing element.
}
