Array Manipulation and Sum
Given an array arr[] of N integers and an integer S. The task is to find an element K in the array such that if all the elements from the array > K are made equal to K then the sum of all the elements of the resultant array becomes equal to S. If it is not possible to find such an element then print -1 .
Examples:
Input: M = 15, arr[] = {12, 3, 6, 7, 8}
Output: 3
Resultant array = {3, 3, 3, 3, 3}
Sum of the array elements = 15 = SInput: M = 5, arr[] = {1, 3, 2, 5, 8}
Output: 1
Approach: Sort the array. Traverse the array considering that the value of K is equal to the current element and then check if sum of the previous elements + (K * number of remaining elements) = S. If yes then print the value of K, if no such element found then print -1 in the end.
Below is the implementation of the above approach:
C++
// C++ implementation of the approach #include <bits/stdc++.h> using namespace std; // Function to return the required element int getElement(int a[], int n, int S) { // Sort the array sort(a, a + n); int sum = 0; for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) { // If current element // satisfies the condition if (sum + (a[i] * (n - i)) == S) return a[i]; sum += a[i]; } // No element found return -1; } // Driver code int main() { int S = 5; int a[] = { 1, 3, 2, 5, 8 }; int n = sizeof(a) / sizeof(a[0]); cout << getElement(a, n, S); return 0; } |
