Given three integers A, B and N the task is to find N Arithmetic means between A and B. We basically need to insert N terms in an Arithmetic progression. where A and B are first and last terms. Examples:

Input : A = 20 B = 32 N = 5
Output : 22 24 26 28 30
The Arithmetic progression series as 
20 22 24 26 28 30 32 

Input : A = 5  B = 35  N = 5
Output : 10 15 20 25 30

Approach : Let A1, A2, A3, A4……An be N Arithmetic Means between two given numbers A and B . Then A, A1, A2 ….. An, B will be in Arithmetic Progression . Now B = (N+2)th term of the Arithmetic progression . So : Finding the (N+2)th term of the Arithmetic progression Series where d is the Common Difference B = A + (N + 2 – 1)d B – A = (N + 1)d So the Common Difference d is given by. d = (B – A) / (N + 1) So now we have the value of A and the value of the common difference(d), now we can find all the N Arithmetic Means between A and B. 

C++




// C++ program to find n arithmetic
// means between A and B
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
  
// Prints N arithmetic means between
// A and B.
void printAMeans(int A, int B, int N)
{
    // calculate common difference(d)
    float d = (float)(B - A) / (N + 1);
      
    // for finding N the arithmetic
    // mean between A and B
    for (int i = 1; i <= N; i++)
        cout << (A + i * d) <<" ";   
}
  
// Driver code to test above
int main()
{
    int A = 20, B = 32, N = 5;
    printAMeans(A, B, N);   
    return 0;
}

        float d = (float)(B - A) / (N + 1);
                             
        // for finding N the Arithmetic

          System.out.print((A + i * d) + " ");
          
    }

    {
        int A = 20, B = 32, N = 5;
        printAMeans(A, B, N);
    }
}

// Prints N arithmetic means

function printAMeans(A, B, N){
 
    // Calculate common difference(d)
    let d = (B - A) / (N + 1)
     
    // For finding N the arithmetic
    // mean between A and B
    for(let i = 1; i < N + 1; i++)
        document.write(Math.floor(A + i * d)," ")
}
 
// Driver code
let A = 20, B = 32, N = 5;
printAMeans(A, B, N)
 
// This code is contributed by Shinjanpatra
 
</script>


Output:

22 24 26 28 30

 

 Time Complexity : O(N) ,where N is the number of terms             

 Space Complexity : O(1), since no extra space has been taken.
