Given an array arr[] of N integers and an integer K, the task is to find whether the given array elements can be made 0 if the given operation is applied exactly K times. In a single operation, the smallest element from the array will be subtracted from all the non-zero elements of the array.
Examples: 
 

Input: arr[] = {1, 1, 2, 3}, K = 3 
Output: Yes 
K = 1 -> arr[] = {0, 0, 1, 2} 
K = 2 -> arr[] = {0, 0, 0, 1} 
K = 3 -> arr[] = {0, 0, 0, 0}
Input: arr[] = {11, 2, 3, 4}, K = 3 
Output: No 
The array requires 4 operations. 
 

 

Approach: 
 

  • Major observation here is that the minimum number does not matter at each operation, suppose X is the minimum number then all the occurrences of X will be 0 in the current operation and other elements will reduce by X.
  • We can conclude that all the identical elements will be 0 at the same operation.
  • So, say in Q operations the entire array becomes 0, it is equal to the number of unique elements in the array.
  • If Q = K then the answer is Yes else print No.
  • Number of unique elements can be obtained using set.

Below is the implementation of the above approach: 
 

C++




// C++ implementation of the approach
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Function that returns true if the array
// can be reduced to 0s with the given
// operation performed given number of times
bool check(int arr[], int N, int K)
{
    // Set to store unique elements
    set<int> unique;
 
    // Add every element of the array
    // to the set
    for (int i = 0; i < N; i++)
        unique.insert(arr[i]);
 
    // Count of all the unique elements
    // in the array
    if (unique.size() == K)
        return true;
    return false;
}
 
// Driver code
int main()
{
    int arr[] = { 1, 1, 2, 3 };
    int N = sizeof(arr) / sizeof(arr[0]);
    int K = 3;
    if (check(arr, N, K))
        cout << "Yes";
    else
        cout << "No";
 
    return 0;
}


Java




// Java implementation of the approach
import java.util.*;
 
class GFG
{
     
// Function that returns true if the array
// can be reduced to 0s with the given
// operation performed given number of times
static boolean check(int arr[], int N, int K)
{
    // Set to store unique elements
    HashSet<Integer> unique = new HashSet<Integer>();
 
 
    // Add every element of the array
    // to the set
    for (int i = 0; i < N; i++)
        unique.add(arr[i]);
 
    // Count of all the unique elements
    // in the array
    if (unique.size() == K)
        return true;
    return false;
}
 
// Driver code
public static void main(String[] args)
{
    int arr[] = { 1, 1, 2, 3 };
    int N = arr.length;
    int K = 3;
    if (check(arr, N, K))
        System.out.println("Yes");
    else
        System.out.println("No");
}
}

        unique[arr[i]] = 1
 
    # Count of all the unique elements
    # in the array
    if len(unique) == K:
        return True
    return False
 
# Driver code
arr = [1, 1, 2, 3]
N = len(arr)
K = 3
if (check(arr, N, K) == True):
    print("Yes")
else:
    print("No")

    // Count of all the unique elements

Javascript




<script>
 
// Javascript implementation of the approach
 
// Function that returns true if the array
// can be reduced to 0s with the given
// operation performed given number of times
function check(arr, N, K)
{
    // Set to store unique elements
    var unique = new Set();
 
    // Add every element of the array
    // to the set
    for (var i = 0; i < N; i++)
        unique.add(arr[i]);
 
    // Count of all the unique elements
    // in the array
    if (unique.size == K)
        return true;
    return false;
}
 
// Driver code
var arr = [1, 1, 2, 3];
var N = arr.length;
var K = 3;
if (check(arr, N, K))
    document.write( "Yes");
else
    document.write( "No");
 
</script>


Output: 

Yes

 

Time Complexity: O(nlogn), where n is the size of the given array.
Auxiliary Space: O(n),  where extra space of size n is used to create a set.
