Given two arrays of N integers. Consider an array C, where the i-th integer will be d*a[i] + b[i] where d is any arbitrary real number. The task is to print d such that array C has maximum number of zeros and also print the number of zeros. 

Examples: 

Input: a[] = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}, b[] = {2, 4, 7, 11, 3} 
Output: 
Value of d is: -2
The number of zeros in array C is: 2 
If we choose d as -2 then we get two zeros in the array C which is the maximum possible. 

Input: a[] = {13, 37, 39} b[] = {1, 2, 3} 
Output: 
Value of d is: -0.0769231
The number of zeros in array C is: 2

The following steps can be followed to solve the above problem: 

  • The equation can be rewritten as d = -b[i]/a[i]
  • Use hash-table to count the maximum number of occurrence of any real number to get the value of d.
  • Number of zeros will be the maximum count + (number of pairs a[i] and b[i] where both are 0).

Below is the implementation of the above approach: 

C++




// C++ program to implement the above
// approach
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Function to find the value of d
// and find the number of zeros in the array
void findDandZeros(int a[], int b[], int n)
{
 
    // Hash table
    unordered_map<long double, int> mpp;
 
    int count = 0;
 
    // Iterate for i-th element
    for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
 
        // If both are not 0
        if (b[i] != 0 && a[i] != 0) {
            long double val = (long double)(-1.0 * b[i]) /
                              (long double)(a[i]);
            mpp[val] += 1;
        }
 
        // If both are 0
        else if (b[i] == 0 && a[i] == 0)
            count += 1;
    }
 
    // Find max occurring d
    int maxi = 0;
    for (auto it : mpp) {
        maxi = max(it.second, maxi);
    }
 
    // Print the d which occurs max times
    for (auto it : mpp) {
        if (it.second == maxi) {
            cout << "Value of d is: "
                 << it.first << endl;
            break;
        }
    }
 
    // Print the number of zeros
    cout << "The number of zeros in array C is: "
         << maxi + count;
}
 
// Driver code
int main()
{
    int a[] = { 13, 37, 39 };
    int b[] = {1, 2, 3};
    int n = sizeof(a) / sizeof(a[0]);
    findDandZeros(a, b, n);
 
    return 0;
}

Output

Value of d is: -0.0769231
The number of zeros in array C is: 2

Time Complexity: O(N), as we are using a loop to traverse N times and map operations will take constant time as we are using a unordered map. Where N is the number of elements in the array.
Auxiliary Space: O(N), as we are using extra space for the map. Where N is the number of elements in the array.
