Check if N rectangles of equal area can be formed from (4 * N) integers

Given an integer N and an array arr[] of size 4 * N, the task is to check whether N rectangles of equal area can be formed from this array if each element can be used only once.

Examples: 

Input: arr[] = {1, 8, 2, 1, 2, 4, 4, 8}, N = 2 
Output: Yes 
Two rectangles with sides (1, 8, 1, 8) and (2, 4, 2, 4) can be formed. 
Both of these rectangles have the same area. 

Input: arr[] = {1, 3, 3, 5, 5, 7, 1, 6}, N = 2 
Output: No 

Approach:  

Below is the implementation of the above approach:  




// C++ implementation of the approach
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Function to check whether we can make n
// rectangles of equal area
bool checkRectangles(int* arr, int n)
{
    bool ans = true;
 
    // Sort the array
    sort(arr, arr + 4 * n);
 
    // Find the area of any one rectangle
    int area = arr[0] * arr[4 * n - 1];
 
    // Check whether we have two equal sides
    // for each rectangle and that area of
    // each rectangle formed is the same
    for (int i = 0; i < 2 * n; i = i + 2) {
        if (arr[i] != arr[i + 1]
            || arr[4 * n - i - 1] != arr[4 * n - i - 2]
            || arr[i] * arr[4 * n - i - 1] != area) {
 
            // Update the answer to false
            // if any condition fails
            ans = false;
            break;
        }
    }
 
    // If possible
    if (ans)
        return true;
 
    return false;
}
 
// Driver code
int main()
{
    int arr[] = { 1, 8, 2, 1, 2, 4, 4, 8 };
    int n = 2;
 
    if (checkRectangles(arr, n))
        cout << "Yes";
    else
        cout << "No";
 
    return 0;
}




// Java implementation of the approach
import java.util.*;
 
class GFG
{
 
// Function to check whether we can make n
// rectangles of equal area
static boolean checkRectangles(int[] arr, int n)
{
    boolean ans = true;
 
    // Sort the array
    Arrays.sort(arr);
 
    // Find the area of any one rectangle
    int area = arr[0] * arr[4 * n - 1];
 
    // Check whether we have two equal sides
    // for each rectangle and that area of
    // each rectangle formed is the same
    for (int i = 0; i < 2 * n; i = i + 2)
    {
        if (arr[i] != arr[i + 1] ||
            arr[4 * n - i - 1] != arr[4 * n - i - 2] ||
            arr[i] * arr[4 * n - i - 1] != area)
        {
 
            // Update the answer to false
            // if any condition fails
            ans = false;
            break;
        }
    }
 
    // If possible
    if (ans)
        return true;
 
    return false;
}
 
// Driver code
public static void main(String[] args)
{
    int arr[] = { 1, 8, 2, 1, 2, 4, 4, 8 };
    int n = 2;
 
    if (checkRectangles(arr, n))
        System.out.print("Yes");
    else
        System.out.print("No");
}
}

Time Complexity: O(n * log n) //the time complexity for using inbuilt sort function is O(N*logN).
Auxiliary Space: O(1), as constant space is used.
