Given an array Arr of N integers(duplicates allowed). Print “Yes” if it is a set of contiguous integers else print “No”.
Examples: 
 

Input: Arr = { 5, 2, 3, 6, 4, 4, 6, 6 } 
Output: Yes 
The elements of array form a contiguous set of integers which is {2, 3, 4, 5, 6} so the output is Yes.
Input: Arr = { 10, 14, 10, 12, 12, 13, 15 } 
Output: No
 


 


Approach: 
 

  1. A similar approach is discussed here. It is recommended to go through it before moving further with this article.
  2. Find the max and min elements from the array.
  3. Update the array with the difference from the max element in the array.
  4. Traverse the array and do the following 
    • If 0 <= abs(arr[i])-1) < n and arr[abs(arr[i])-1)] > 0 means the element is positive (visited first time), make it negative by doing arr[abs(arr[i])-1] = -arr[abs(arr[i])-1].
    • Else continue loop means either the value is already visited or out of range of the array
  5. Traverse the loop again and check if any element is positive means element has a difference greater than 1 
    break the loop and print “NO”
  6. If no element is found positive, print “YES”


Below is the implementation code: 
 

C++

// C++ program to check if
// array contains contiguous
// integers with duplicates
// allowed in O(1) space
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Function to return true or
// false
bool check(int arr[], int n)
{
 
    int k = INT_MIN;
    int r = INT_MAX;
 
    // To find the max and min
    // in the array
    for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
        k = max(k, arr[i]);
        r = min(r, arr[i]);
    }
 
    k += 1;
 
    // Update the array with
    // the difference from
    // the max element
    for (int i = 0; i < n; i++)
        arr[i] = k - arr[i];
 
    for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
 
        // if the element is positive
        // and less than the size of
        // array(in range), make it negative
        if (abs(arr[i]) - 1 < n
            && arr[abs(arr[i]) - 1] > 0) {
            arr[abs(arr[i]) - 1]
                = -arr[abs(arr[i]) - 1];
        }
    }
 
    int flag = 0;
 
    // Loop from 0 to end of the array
    for (int i = 0; i <= k - r - 1; i++) {
 
        // Found positive, out of range
        if (arr[i] > 0) {
            flag = 1;
            break;
        }
    }
 
    return flag == 0;
}
 
// Driver function
int main()
{
 
    // Given array
    int arr[] = { 5, 2, 3, 6, 4, 4, 6, 6 };
    int n = sizeof(arr) / sizeof(arr[0]);
 
    // Function Calling
    if (check(arr, n))
        cout << "Yes";
    else
        cout << "No";
 
    return 0;
}

Approach 2: Using Hash Set

1. Taken an array arr[] to take input and called CheckContiguous() function.

2. In the CheckContiguous function, first creates an unordered_set to store the elements of the array.

3. It then starts by checking if there is a contiguous sequence of smaller integers than the first element of the array.

4. If yes, it keeps updating the counter variable ‘cnt’ and the current element ‘curr_elem’ until it reaches a number that is not present in the set.

6. Then it checks if there is a contiguous sequence of greater integers than the first element of the array.

7. If yes, it keeps updating the counter variable ‘cnt’ and the current element ‘curr_elem’ until it reaches a number that is not present in the set.

8. Finally, the function returns true if the count of contiguous integers is equal to the size of the set, else it returns false.

Below is the implementation of the above approach:

C++

#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Function to check whether the array contains
// a set of contiguous integers
bool CheckContiguous(int arr[], int n)
{
    // Unordered_set to strore elements
    unordered_set<int> ust;
    for (int i = 0; i < n; i++)
        ust.insert(arr[i]);
 
    int cnt = 1; // counter variable
 
    // starting with previous smaller element
    // of arr[0]
    int curr_elem = arr[0] - 1;
 
    // if 'curr_ele' is present in 'us'
    while (ust.find(curr_elem) != ust.end()) {
 
        // increment counter variable
        cnt++;
 
        // update 'curr_ele"
        curr_elem--;
    }
 
    // starting with next greater element
    // of arr[0]
    curr_elem = arr[0] + 1;
 
    // If current element available in the set
    while (ust.find(curr_elem) != ust.end()) {
 
        // increment counter variable
        cnt++;
 
        // update 'curr_elem"
        curr_elem++;
    }
 
    // returns true if array contains a set of contiguous
    // integers else returns false
    return (cnt == (int)(ust.size()));
}
 
// Driver code
int main()
{
    // Example taken as input
    int arr[] = { 5, 2, 3, 6, 4, 4, 6, 6 };
    int n = sizeof(arr) / sizeof(arr[0]);
    if (CheckContiguous(arr, n))
        cout << "Yes";
    else
        cout << "No";
 
    return 0;

Yes




Time complexity: O(n), where n is the size of the input array.

Space complexity: O(n), as an unordered set to store the elements of the array, which can take up to n space in the worst case.
