Maximize the sum of arr[i]*i in C++
Problem statementGiven an array of N integers. You are allowed to rearrange the elements of the array. The task is to find the maximum value of Σarr[i]*i, where i = 0, 1, 2, .. n – 1.If input array = {4, 1, 6, 2} then the maximum sum will be 28 if we rearrange elements in sorted order−{1, 2, 4, 6} = (1 * 0) + (2 * 1) + (4 * 2) + (6 * 3) = 28Algorithm1. Sort array in ascending order 2. Iterate over array and multiply each array element by 1 where i = 0, 1, ...

Problem statementGiven three non-zero integers a, b and c. The task is to find the maximum value possible by putting addition and multiplication signs between them in any order.Please note that rearrangement of integers is allowed but addition and multiplication sign must be used once.If a = 1, b = 3 and c = 5 then maximum value will be 20 as follows−(1 + 3) * 5 = 20Algorithm1. If all numbers are positive, then add two small numbers and multiply result with larger one 2. If only two numbers are positive, then multiply 2 positive numbers and add remaining ...
Read MoreMaximize value of (arr[i] – i) – (arr[j] – j) in an array in C++
Problem statementGiven an array, arr[] find the maximum value of (arr[i] – i) – (arr[j] – j) where i is not equal to j. Where i and j vary from 0 to n-1 and n is the size of input array arr[].If the input array is {7, 5, 10, 2, 3} then we can obtain 9 maximum value as follows−(element 10 – index 2) - (element 2 – index 3) (10 – 2) – (2 – 3) = 8 – (-1) = 9Algorithm1. Find maximum value of (arr[i] – i) in whole array. 2. Find minimum value of (arr[i] – i) in whole array. 3. Return difference of above two valuesExample#include using namespace std; int getMaxDiff(int *arr, int n){ if (n < 2) { cout
Read MoreFind the compatibility difference between two arrays in C++
Consider there are two friends and now they want to test their bonding. So they will check, how much compatible they are. Given the numbers n, numbered from 1..n. And they are asked to rank the numbers. They have to find the compatibility difference between them. The compatibility difference is basically the number of mismatches in the relative ranking of the same movie given by them. So if A = [3, 1, 2, 4, 5], and B = [3, 2, 4, 1, 5], then the output will be 2. The compatibility difference is 2, as first ranks movie 1 before ...
Read MoreShuffle an Array using STL in C++
Here we will see the Shuffle and random_shuffle in C++. These functions are used to shuffle array elements in C++. We can use the vector also instead of arrays, the usage is similar. Let us see the random_shuffle() first. It is used to randomly rearrange the elements in range [left, right). This function randomly swaps the positions of each element with the position of some randomly chosen positions.We can provide some random generator function to tell which element will be taken in every case. If we do not provide some, it will use its own random generator function.Example#include using ...
Read Moreupper_bound in C++
Here we will see that is the upper_bound() function in C++ STL. This function returns an iterator that points to the first element in the container, which is considered to go after val. The syntax is like:iterator upper_bound (const value_type& val); const_iterator upper_bound (const value_type& val) const;The return value is an iterator, pointing to the first element in the container which is considered to go after val.Example#include #include using namespace std; int main () { set myset; set::iterator itlow, itup; for (int i = 1; i < 10; i++) myset.insert(i*10); itup = myset.upper_bound (60); ...
Read MoreConstruct an array from GCDs of consecutive elements in given array in C++
Suppose we have an array A[], with n elements. We have to find another array B[], whose size is n+1, such that GCD of B[i] and B[i + 1] is A[i]. If there are multiple solutions, then print one of them whose array sum is minimum. So if A = [1, 2, 3], then output will be [1, 2, 6, 3]When A has only one element say K, then B = [K, K]. So the B[0] will be A[0]. Now consider we are done up to index i, so we have already processed index i, and calculated B[i + 1]. ...
Read MoreConstruct an array from XOR of all elements of array except element at same index in C++
Suppose we have an array A[] with n positive elements. We have to create another array B, such that B[i] is XOR of all elements of A[] except A[i]. So if the A = [2, 1, 5, 9], then B = [13, 14, 10, 6]To solve this, at first we have to find the XOR of all elements of A, and store it into variable x, then for each element of A[i], find B[i] = x XOR A[i]Example#include using namespace std; void findXOR(int A[], int n) { int x = 0; for (int i = 0; i ...
Read MoreMaximizing array sum with given operation in C++
DescriptionThere is an array of (2 * n – 1) integers. We can change sign of exactly n elements in the array. In other words, we can select exactly n array elements, and multiply each of them by -1. Find the maximum sum of the array.ExampleIf input array is {-2, 100, -3} then we can obtain maximum changing sign of -2 and -3. After changing sign array becomes −{2, 100, 3} and maximum sum of this array is 105.AlgorithmCount negative numbersCalculate the sum of the array by taking absolute values of the numbers.Find the minimum number of the array by ...
Read MoreMaximizing the elements with a[i+1] > a[i] in C++
Problem statementGiven an array of N integers, rearrange the array elements such that the next array element is greater than the previous element arr[i+1] > arr[i]ExampleIf input array is {300, 400, 400, 300} then rearranged array will be −{300, 400, 300, 400}. In this solution we get 2 indices with condition arr[i+1] > arr[i]. Hence answer is 2.AlgorithmIf all elements are distinct, then answer is simply n-1 where n is the number of elements in the arrayIf there are repeating elements, then answer is n – maxFrequencyExampleLet us now see an example −#include #define MAX 1000 using namespace std; ...
