Given an array A[] of size N / 2, the task is to construct the array B[] of size N such that: 
 

  1. B[] is sorted in non-decreasing order.
  2. A[i] = B[i] + B[n – i + 1].

Note: Array A[] is given in such a way that the answer is always possible.
Examples: 
 

Input: A[] = {3, 4} 
Output: 0 1 3 3
Input: A[] = {4, 1} 
Output: 0 0 1 4 
 

 

Approach: Let’s present the following greedy approach. The numbers will be restored in pairs (B[0], B[n – 1]), (B[1], B[n – 2]) and so on. Thus, we can have some limits on the values of the current pair (satisfying the criteria about sorted result). 
Initially, l = 0 and r = 109, they are updated with l = a[i] and r = a[n – i + 1]. Let l be minimal possible in the answer. Take a[i] = max(l, b[i] – r) and r = b[i] – l, that way l was chosen in such a way that both l and r are within the restrictions and l is also minimal possible. 
If l was any greater than we would move both l limit up and r limit down leaving less freedom for later choices.
Below is the implementation of the above approach: 
 

C++




// C++ implementation of the approach
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Utility function to print
// the contents of the array
void printArr(int b[], int n)
{
    for (int i = 0; i < n; i++)
        cout << b[i] << " ";
}
 
// Function to build array B[]
void ModifiedArray(int a[], int n)
{
    // Lower and upper limits
    int l = 0, r = INT_MAX;
 
    // To store the required array
    int b[n] = { 0 };
 
    // Apply greedy approach
    for (int i = 0; i < n / 2; i++) {
        b[i] = max(l, a[i] - r);
        b[n - i - 1] = a[i] - b[i];
        l = b[i];
        r = b[n - i - 1];
    }
 
    // Print the built array b[]
    printArr(b, n);
}
 
// Driver code
int main()
{
    int a[] = { 5, 6 };
    int n = sizeof(a) / sizeof(a[0]);
    ModifiedArray(a, 2 * n);
 
    return 0;
}


Java

        for (int i = 0; i < n; i++)
        {
             System.out.print(" " + b[i] + " ");
         }
    }
 
    // Function to build array B[]
    void ModifiedArray(int a[], int n)
    {
        // Lower and upper limits
        int l = 0, r = Integer.MAX_VALUE;
 
        // To store the required array
        int[] b = new int[n];
         
    // Apply greedy approach
    for (int i = 0; i < n / 2; i++) {
        b[i] = Math.max(l, a[i] - r);
        b[n - i - 1] = a[i] - b[i];
        l = b[i];
        r = b[n - i - 1];
    }
 
    // Print the built array b[]
    printArr(b, n);
}   
// Driver code
public static void main(String args[])
{
   int a[] = { 5, 6 };
   int n = a.length ;
   solution s=new solution();
   s.ModifiedArray(a, 2 * n);
