Given an array A[] of N positive integers and 3 integers X, Y, and Z, the task is to check if there exist 4 indices (say p, q, r, s) such that the following conditions are satisfied:
- 0 < p < q < r < s < N
- Sum of the subarray from A[p] to A[q – 1] is X
- Sum of the subarray from A[q] to A[r – 1] is Y
- Sum of the subarray from A[r] to A[s – 1] is Z
Examples:
Input: N = 10, A[] = {1, 3, 2, 2, 2, 3, 1, 4, 3, 2}, X = 5, Y = 7, Z = 5
Output: YES
Explanation: The 4 integers p, q, r, s are {1, 3, 6, 8}.
- A[1] + A[2] = 5
- A[3] + A [4] + A[5] = 7
- A[6] + A[7] = 5
Input: N = 9, A[] = {31, 41, 59, 26, 53, 58, 97, 93, 23}, X = 100, Y = 101, Z = 100
Output: NO
Approach: The problem can be solved easily with the help of cumulative sum and Binary search.
If we calculate the cumulative sum of the array, then the sum of any subarray can be computed in O(1). Say S[i] is cumulative sum till ith index, then S[j] – S[i] = A[i] + A[i + 1] + …. + A[j – 1].
So, given conditions can be converted into the following:
We need to find 4 integers p, q, r, s such that:
S[q] – S[p] = X
S[r] – S[q] = Y
S[s] – S[r] = ZNow, for any fixed index (say p), we can find another index (say q) using binary search in a monotonically increasing array (cumulative sum), such that S[q] = S[p] + X. Similarly, we can find r and s. We can perform this search for all possible indices.
NOTE: A set can be used so that we won’t need to perform a binary search explicitly each time.
Thus, the problem can be solved using the following steps :
- Declare a set (say S).
- Initialize a variable (say curr) by 0, to calculate the cumulative sum at each iteration.
- Iterate through the given array and insert the cumulative sum into the set.
- Iterate through the set and check if the current element of the set satisfies the given condition along with 3 other elements (which are also in the set). If so, return true.
- Else, return false.
Below is the implementation for the above approach:
// C++ code based on the above approach #include <bits/stdc++.h> using namespace std;
// Function to check if it is possible to // find 4 integers satisfying the // given condition bool isPossible( int N, int A[], int X, int Y, int Z)
{ // Declaring a set
set< int > S({ 0 });
// Initializing variable to store
// cumulative sum
int curr = 0;
// Inserting cumulative sums
// into the set
for ( int i = 0; i < N; i++) {
curr += A[i];
S.insert(curr);
}
// Iterating through the set
for ( auto it : S) {
// If current element of set
// satisfies the given condition
// along with 3 other elements
// (which are also in set),
// return true
if (S.find(it + X) != S.end()
&& S.find(it + X + Y) != S.end()
&& S.find(it + X + Y + Z) != S.end()) {
return true ;
}
}
// Return false if the iteration
// completes without getting
// the required elements
return false ;
} // Driver code int main()
{ int N = 10, X = 5, Y = 7, Z = 5;
int A[] = { 1, 3, 2, 2, 2, 3, 1, 4, 3, 2 };
// Function call
int answer = isPossible(N, A, X, Y, Z);
if (answer == true ) {
cout << "YES" << endl;
}
else {
cout << "NO" << endl;
}
return 0;
