Find the maximum element in the array other than A_i

Given an array arr[] of size N. The task is to find maximum element among N – 1 elements other than arr[i] for each i from 1 to N.
Examples:

Input: arr[] = {2, 5, 6, 1, 3}
Output: 6 6 5 6 6
Input: arr[] = {1, 2, 3}
Output: 3 3 2

Approach: An efficient approach is to make prefix and suffix array of maximum elements and find maximum element among N – 1 elements other than arr[i].
Below is the implementation of the above approach:

C++

// C++ implementation of the approach
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Function to find maximum element
// among (N - 1) elements other than
// a[i] for each i from 1 to N
int max_element(int a[], int n)
{
    // To store prefix max element
    int pre[n];
 
    pre[0] = a[0];
    for (int i = 1; i < n; i++)
        pre[i] = max(pre[i - 1], a[i]);
 
    // To store suffix max element
    int suf[n];
 
    suf[n - 1] = a[n - 1];
    for (int i = n - 2; i >= 0; i--)
        suf[i] = max(suf[i + 1], a[i]);
 
    // Find the maximum element
    // in the array other than a[i]
    for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
        if (i == 0)
            cout << suf[i + 1] << " ";
 
        else if (i == n - 1)
            cout << pre[i - 1] << " ";
 
        else
            cout << max(pre[i - 1], suf[i + 1]) << " ";
    }
}
 
// Driver code
int main()
{
    int a[] = { 2, 5, 6, 1, 3 };
    int n = sizeof(a) / sizeof(a[0]);
 
    max_element(a, n);
 
    return 0;
}

Java

// Java implementation of the approach
class GFG
{
 
// Function to find maximum element
// among (N - 1) elements other than
// a[i] for each i from 1 to N
static void max_element(int a[], int n)
{
    // To store prefix max element
    int []pre = new int[n];
 
    pre[0] = a[0];
    for (int i = 1; i < n; i++)
        pre[i] = Math.max(pre[i - 1], a[i]);
 
    // To store suffix max element
    int []suf = new int[n];
 
    suf[n - 1] = a[n - 1];
    for (int i = n - 2; i >= 0; i--)
        suf[i] = Math.max(suf[i + 1], a[i]);
 
    // Find the maximum element
    // in the array other than a[i]
    for (int i = 0; i < n; i++)
    {
        if (i == 0)
            System.out.print(suf[i + 1] + " ");
 
        else if (i == n - 1)
            System.out.print(pre[i - 1] + " ");
 
        else
            System.out.print(Math.max(pre[i - 1],
                              suf[i + 1]) + " ");
    }
}
 
// Driver code

{
    int a[] = { 2, 5, 6, 1, 3 };
    int n = a.length;
 
    max_element(a, n);
}
}
