Given a set of N elements such that N\in [1, 1000]     , task is to generate an array such that the GCD of any subset of the generated array lies in the given set of elements. The generated array should not be more than thrice the length of the set of the GCD

Prerequisite : GCD of an Array | Subset of Array 

Examples : 

Input : 3
        1 2 7
Output :  1 1 2 1 7

Input : 4
        2 4 6 12
Output : 2 2 4 2 6 2 12

Input : 5
        2 5 6 7 11
Output : No array can be build

Explanation: Calculate the GCD of an array or in this case a set. Now, first sort the given set of GCD. If the GCD of this set is equal to the minimum number of the given set, then just by putting this GCD between each number. But, if this GCD is not the minimum element of the given set, then unfortunately “no array can be build”. 

Implementation:

C++

// C++ implementation to generate the
// required array
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Function to return gcd of a and b
int gcd(int a, int b)
{
    if (a == 0)
       return b;      
    return gcd(b % a, a);
}
 
// Function to find gcd of
// array of numbers
int findGCD(vector<int> arr, int n)
{
    int result = arr[0];   
    for (int i = 1; i < n; i++)
        result = gcd(arr[i], result);
    return result;
}
 
// Function to generate the array
// with required constraints.
void compute(vector<int> arr, int n)
{
    vector<int> answer;
     
    // computing GCD of the given set
    int GCD_of_array = findGCD(arr, n);
 
    // Solution exists if GCD of array is equal
    // to the minimum element of the array
    if(GCD_of_array == arr[0])
    {
        answer.push_back(arr[0]);
        for(int i = 1; i < n; i++)
        {
            answer.push_back(arr[0]);
            answer.push_back(arr[i]);
        }
     
        // Printing the built array
        for (int i = 0; i < answer.size(); i++)
            cout << answer[i] << " ";
    }
    else
        cout << "No array can be build";
}
 
// Driver function
int main()
{
 
    // Taking in the input and initializing
    // the set STL set in cpp has a property
    // that it maintains the elements in
    // sorted order, thus we do not need
    // to sort them externally
    int n = 3;
    int input[]= {2, 5, 6, 7, 11};
    set<int> GCD(input, input + n);
    vector<int> arr;
    set<int>::iterator it;
     
    for(it = GCD.begin(); it!= GCD.end(); ++it)
        arr.push_back(*it);
 
    // Calling the computing function.
    compute(arr,n);
     
    return 0;
}

Output
No array can be build

Complexity Analysis:

  • Time Complexity : O(nlog(n)), where n is the size of array given.
  • Auxiliary Space: O(n)

Please suggest if someone has a better solution which is more efficient in terms of space and time.
