Arrange the array such that upon performing given operations an increasing order is obtained

Given an array arr[] of size N, the task is to print the arrangement of the array such that upon performing the following operations on this arrangement, increasing order is obtained as the output:

Take the first (0^th index) element, remove it from the array and print it.
If there are still elements left in the array, move the next top element to the end of the array.
Repeat the above steps until the array is not empty.

Examples:

Input: arr = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8}
Output: {1, 5, 2, 7, 3, 6, 4, 8}
Explanation:
Let initial array be {1, 5, 2, 7, 3, 6, 4, 8}, where 1 is the top of the array.
1 is printed, and 5 is moved to the end. The array is now {2, 7, 3, 6, 4, 8, 5}.
2 is printed, and 7 is moved to the end. The array is now {3, 6, 4, 8, 5, 7}.
3 is printed, and 6 is moved to the end. The array is now {4, 8, 5, 7, 6}.
4 is printed, and 8 is moved to the end. The array is now {5, 7, 6, 8}.
5 is printed, and 7 is moved to the end. The array is now {6, 8, 7}.
6 is printed, and 8 is moved to the end. The array is now {7, 8}.
7 is printed, and 8 is moved to the end. The array is now {8}.
8 is printed.
The printing order is 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 which is increasing.
Input: arr = {3, 2, 25, 2, 3, 1, 2, 6, 5, 45, 4, 89, 5}
Output: {1, 45, 2, 5, 2, 25, 2, 5, 3, 89, 3, 6, 4}

Approach:
The idea is to simulate the given process. For this a queue data structure is used.

The given array is sorted and the queue is prepared by adding array indexes.
Then the given array is traversed and for each element, the index from the front of the queue is popped and add the current array element is added at the popped index in the resultant array.
If the queue is still not empty, then the next index (in the queue front) is moved to the back of the queue.

Below is the implementation of the above approach:

C++

#include <bits/stdc++.h>
#define mod 1000000007
using namespace std;
 
// Function to print the arrangement
vector<int> arrangement(vector<int> arr)
{
    // Sorting the list
    sort(arr.begin(), arr.end());
 
    // Finding Length of the List
    int length = arr.size();
 
    // Initializing the result array
    vector<int> ans(length, 0);
 
    // Initializing the Queue
    deque<int> Q;
    for (int i = 0; i < length; i++)
        Q.push_back(i);
 
    // Adding current array element to the
    // result at an index which is at the
    // front of the Q and then if still
    // elements are left then putting the next
    // top element the bottom of the array.
    for (int i = 0; i < length; i++)
    {
        int j = Q.front();
        Q.pop_front();
        ans[j] = arr[i];
 
        if (Q.size() != 0)
        {
            j = Q.front();
            Q.pop_front();
            Q.push_back(j);
        }
    }
    return ans;
}
 
// Driver code
int main()
{
    vector<int> arr = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 };
 
    vector<int> answer = arrangement(arr);
 
    for (int i : answer)
        cout << i << " ";
}

Output

1 5 2 7 3 6 4 8

Time Complexity: O(NlogN)

Auxiliary Space: O(N) because it is using extra space for deque q

Another Approach:

If you closely observe it then you will find that here it is following a pattern.

Just Think Reverse.

Sort the input array and try to reach the previous stage from the given steps.
Iterate from i=N-1 to 1, by decreasing i by 1 in every step.
Delete the last element from an array and insert it at ith position.
Repeat the above two-step till reach to i=1
After reach i=1 , you will get the final resultant array.

Below is the implementation of the above approach:

C++

// C++ program to find the desired output
// after performing given operations
 
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
// Function to arrange array in such a way
// that after performing given operation
// We get increasing sorted array
 
void Desired_Array(vector<int>& v)
{
    // Size of given array
    int n = v.size();
 
    // Sort the given array
    sort(v.begin(), v.end());
 
    // Start erasing last element and place it at
    // ith index
    int i = n - 1;
    // While we reach at starting
 
    while (i > 0) {
        // Store last element
        int p = v[n - 1];
 
        // Shift all elements by 1 position in right
        for (int j = n - 1; j >= i; j--)
        {
            v[j + 1] = v[j];
        }
 
        // insert last element at ith position
        v[i] = p;
        i--;
    }
 
    // print desired Array
    for (auto x : v)
        cout << x << " ";
    cout << "\n";
}
 
// Driver Code
int main()
{
 
    // Given Array
    vector<int> v = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 };
    Desired_Array(v);
 
    vector<int> v1 = { 1, 12, 2, 10, 4, 16, 6 };
    Desired_Array(v1);
    return 0;
