Counting inversions in an array using segment tree
Given an array of integers arr, the task is to count the number of inversions in the array.
If A[i] > A[j] and i < j then the pair (A[i], A[j]) is part of an inversion.
Examples:
Input: arr[] = {8, 4, 2, 1}
Output: 6Input: arr[] = {3, 1, 2}
Output: 2
Approach:
- Build a segment tree where each node will represent the total numbers present in the range of that node.
- Lets say the range of any node is [i, j], then the node will contain the count of numbers which are greater than or equal to i and less than or equal to j.
- Leaf nodes will only be either 1 or 0 since range of the node will be 1.
- Iterate through the array, let the number present at the index i is a[i]. We will find how many numbers are present in the segment tree in the range [a[i]+1, max] where max is the maximum element of the array and add it to the answer variable.
- Then we will insert that number in the segment tree and continue till the last index of the array. This way for each element we are adding the numbers which appear before that element and are greater than that element i.e. they form an inversion pair.
Below is the implementation of the above approach:
C++
// C++ program to count the inversions // present in the array using segment tree #include "algorithm" #include "cstring" #include "iostream" using namespace std; // Function to update segment tree // i.e. to insert the element void update(int* Tree, int index, int s, int e, int num) { // Leaf node condition if (s == num and e == num) { Tree[index] = 1; return; } // No overlap condition if (num < s or num > e) { return; } // Else call on both the children nodes int mid = (s + e) >> 1; update(Tree, 2 * index, s, mid, num); update(Tree, 2 * index + 1, mid + 1, e, num); Tree[index] = Tree[2 * index] + Tree[2 * index + 1]; } // Function to count the total numbers // present in the range [a[i]+1, mx] int query(int* Tree, int index, int s, int e, int qs, int qe) { // Complete overlap if (qs <= s and e <= qe) { return Tree[index]; } // No Overlap if (s > qe or e < qs) { return 0; } int mid = (s + e) >> 1; return query(Tree, 2 * index, s, mid, qs, qe) + query(Tree, 2 * index + 1, mid + 1, e, qs, qe); } // Driver code int main(int argc, char const* argv[]) { int arr[] = { 8, 4, 2, 1 }; int n = sizeof(arr) / sizeof(arr[0]); // Maximum element present in the array. int mx = *max_element(arr, arr + n); // Segment Tree int Tree[6 * mx]; // Initialize every node // of segment tree to 0 memset(Tree, 0, sizeof(Tree)); int answer = 0; for (int i = 0; i < n; ++i) { // add the count of inversion pair // formed with the element a[i] and the // elements appearing before the index i. answer += query(Tree, 1, 1, mx, arr[i] + 1, mx); // Insert the a[i] in the segment tree update(Tree, 1, 1, mx, arr[i]); } cout << answer; return 0; } |
