Consider an array X that contains n positive integers. A subarray of X is defined to be a sequence of array locations with consecutive indices.

The C code snippet given below has been written to compute the length of the longest subarray of X that contains at most two distinct integers. The code has two missing expressions labelled (P) and (Q).

int first=0, second=0, len1=0, len2=0, maxlen=0;
for (int i=0; i < n; i++) {
  if (X[i] == first) {
    len2++;
    len1++;
  } else if (X[i] == second) {
    len2++;
    len1 = (P);
    second = first;
  } else {
    len2 = (Q);
