Wiggle Sort II in C++
Suppose we have an unsorted array nums, we have to rearrange it such that nums[0] < nums[1] > nums[2] < nums[3]. So if the input is like [1,5,1,1,6,4], then the output will be [1,4,1,5,1,6].
To solve this, we will follow these steps −
make one array x, that has same elements as nums
sort x array
i := size of x – 1, j := (size of x – 1) / 2 and n := size of nums array
for l in range 0 to n – 1, increase l by 2 in each step
nums[l] := x[j]
decrease j by 1
for l in range 1 to n – 1, increase l by 2 in each step
nums[l] := x[i]
decrease i by 1
Let us see the following implementation to get better understanding −
Example
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
void print_vector(vector<auto> v){
cout << "[";
for(int i = 0; i<v.size(); i++){
cout << v[i] << ", ";
}
cout << "]"<<endl;
}
class Solution {
public:
void wiggleSort(vector<int>& nums) {
vector <int> x(nums);
sort(x.begin(), x.end());
int i = x.size() - 1 ;
int j = (x.size() - 1)/2;
int n = nums.size();
for(int l = 0; l < n; l +=2){
nums[l] = x[j--];
}
for(int l = 1; l < n; l +=2){
nums[l] = x[i--];
}
}
};
main(){
vector<int> v = {1,5,1,1,6,4};
Solution ob;
(ob.wiggleSort(v));
print_vector(v);
}Input
[1,5,1,1,6,4]
Output
[1, 6, 1, 5, 1, 4, ]
