Given an array arr of integers of size N, the task is to find, for every element, the number of elements that are greater than it.
Examples: 
 

Input: arr[] = {4, 6, 2, 1, 8, 7} 
Output: {3, 2, 4, 5, 0, 1}
Input: arr[] = {2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8} 
Output: {6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0} 
 

 

Approach: Store the frequencies of every array element using a Map. Iterate the Map in reverse and store the sum of the frequency of all previously traversed elements (i.e. elements greater than it) for every element.
Below code is the implementation of the above approach:
 

C++




// C++ implementation of the above approach
 
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
void countOfGreaterElements(int arr[], int n)
{
    // Store the frequency of the
    // array elements
    map<int, int> mp;
    for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
        mp[arr[i]]++;
    }
 
    int x = 0;
    // Store the sum of frequency of elements
    // greater than the current element
    for (auto it = mp.rbegin(); it != mp.rend(); it++) {
        int temp = it->second;
        mp[it->first] = x;
        x += temp;
    }
 
    for (int i = 0; i < n; i++)
        cout << mp[arr[i]] << " ";
}
 
// Driver code
int main()
{
 
    int arr[] = { 7, 9, 5, 2, 1, 3, 4, 8, 6 };
    int n = sizeof(arr) / sizeof(arr[0]);
 
    countOfGreaterElements(arr, n);
 
    return 0;
}


Java




// Java implementation of the above approach
import java.util.*;
 
class GfG {
    public static void countOfGreaterElements(int arr[])
    {
        int n = arr.length;
 
        TreeMap<Integer, Integer> mp = new TreeMap<Integer, Integer>(Collections.reverseOrder());
 
        // Store the frequency of the
        // array elements
        for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
            mp.put(arr[i], mp.getOrDefault(arr[i], 0) + 1);
        }
 
        // Store the sum of frequency of elements
        // greater than the current element
        int x = 0;
        for (Map.Entry<Integer, Integer> e : mp.entrySet()) {
            Integer temp = e.getValue();
            mp.put(e.getKey(), x);
            x += temp;
        }
 
        for (int i = 0; i < n; i++)
            System.out.print(mp.get(arr[i]) + " ");
    }
 
    public static void main(String args[])
    {
        int arr[] = { 7, 9, 5, 2, 1, 3, 4, 8, 6 };
        countOfGreaterElements(arr);
    }
}


Python 3




# Python 3 implementation of the above approach
 
def countOfGreaterElements(arr, n):
    # Store the frequency of the
    # array elements
    mp = {i:0 for i in range(1000)}
    for i in range(n):
        mp[arr[i]] += 1
 
    x = 0
    # Store the sum of frequency of elements
    # greater than the current element
    p = []
    q = []
    m = []
    for key, value in mp.items():
        m.append([key, value])
    m = m[::-1]
     
    for p in m:
        temp = p[1]
        mp[p[0]] = x
        x += temp
 
    for i in range(n):
        print(mp[arr[i]], end = " ")
 
# Driver code
if __name__ == '__main__':
    arr = [7, 9, 5, 2, 1, 3, 4, 8, 6]
    n = len(arr)
 
    countOfGreaterElements(arr, n)

Output: 

2 0 4 7 8 6 5 1 3

 

Time Complexity: O(N log(N))

Auxiliary Space: O(N)
