Split Array With Same Average in C++

Suppose we have one array A, we must move every element of A to either list B or list C. (These lists B and C are initially empty.) We have to check whether after such a move, it is possible that the average value of B is equal to the average value of C, and B and C are both non-empty.

So if the input is like − [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10], then the result will be true,

To solve this, we will follow these steps −

n := size of A, total := 0
for initialize i := 0, when i < n, update (increase i by 1), do −
- total := total + A[i]
isPossible := false, m := n / 2
for initialize i := 1, when i <= m and not isPossible is non-zero, update (increase i by 1), do −
- if total * i mod n is same as 0, then −
  - isPossible := true
if not isPossible is non-zero, then −
- return false
Define one 2D array dp of size (total + 1) x (n / 2) + 1)
dp[0, 0] := true
for initialize i := 0, when i < n, update (increase i by 1), do −
- x := A[i]
- for initialize j := total, when j >= x, update (decrease j by 1), do −
  - for initialize l := 1, when l <= (n / 2), update (increase l by 1), do −
    - dp[j, l] := dp[j, l] OR dp[j - x, l - 1]
for initialize i := 1, when i <= (n / 2), update (increase i by 1), do −
- if (total * i) mod n is same as 0 and dp[total * i / n, i] is non-zero, then −
  - return true
return false

Let us see the following implementation to get better understanding −
