Maximums from array when the maximum decrements after every access in C++ Program
In this problem, we are given an array arr[] of N integers and an integer m. Our task is to create a program to find the maximums from array when the maximum decrements after every access.
Problem Description − We need to find the maximum sum of maximum elements of the array and decrease the max taken by one k times.
Let’s take an example to understand the problem,
Input
arr[] = {3, 6, 7, 8, 8}, k = 3Output
Explanation
First iteration: array before = {3, 6, 7, 8, 8}, max = 8, sum = 8, array after update = {3, 6, 7, 7, 8}
Second iteration: array before = {3, 6, 7, 7, 8}, max = 8, sum = 8 + 8 = 16, array after update = {3, 6, 7, 7, 7}
Third iteration: array before = {3, 6, 7, 7, 7}, max = 7, sum = 16 + 7 = 23, array after update = {3, 6, 6, 7, 7}
Maximum sum = 23Solution Approach
The idea is to find the maximum of the array and then decrement it after adding to maxSum. Repeating this process k times gives the result.
For finding the maximum element of the array, there can be multiple ways and the most promising one is using the max heap data structure.
So, we will insert all the elements of the array to a max heap, the maximum element in the heap is represented at the root of it. We will remove it, add to the maxSum and insert (element -1) back to the heap. Do this k times to get the desired maxSum.
Algorithm
Initialize − maxSum = 0
Step 1 − Create a max heap data structure and push elements to it.
Step 2 − Loop for i -> 0 to k and follow set 3 - 5.
Step 3 − Take the root element, maxVal = root and pop it.
Step 4 − Add maxVal to maxSum, maxSum += maxVal
Step 5 − Insert updated maxVal to the max heap.
Step 6 − Return the maxSum.
Program to illustrate the working of our solution,
Example
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
long calcMaxSumDec(int arr[], int m, int n) {
long maxSum = 0;
long maxVal;
priority_queue<long> max_heap;
for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
max_heap.push(arr[i]);
}
for(int i = 0; i < m; i++) {
maxVal = max_heap.top();
maxSum += maxVal;
max_heap.pop();
max_heap.push(maxVal - 1);
}
return maxSum;
}
int main() {
int arr[] = { 2, 3, 5, 4 }, m = 3;
int n = sizeof(arr) / sizeof(arr[0]);
cout<<"The maximums from array when the maximum decrements after every access is "<<calcMaxSumDec(arr, m, n);
}Output
The maximums from array when the maximum decrements after every access is 13
