Find the original Array from given array where ith element is the average of first i elements

Given an array arr[] of length N, the task is to find the original array such that every ith element in the given array(arr[i]) is the average value of the first i elements of the original array.

Examples:

Input: arr = {4 3 3 3} 
Output: 4 2 3 3
Explanation: (4) / 1 = 1, (4+2) / 2 = 3, (4+2+3) / 3 = 3, (4+2+3+3) / 4 = 3

Input: arr = {2 6 8 10} 
Output: 2 10 12 16
Explanation: (2) / 1 = 2, (2+10) / 2 = 6, (2+10+12) / 3 = 8, (2+10+12+16) / 4 = 10

Approach: The given problem can be solved using a mathematical approach. Follow the steps below:

• Initialize a variable sum to the first element of the array arr
• Iterate the array arr from 2nd index till the end and at every iteration:
  • Multiply current element arr[i] with current index + 1 (i + 1) and subtract the value of sum from it
  • Add the resulting current element to the variable sum
• Return the resulting array after modification as it will be the original array

C++

// C++ implementation for the above approach

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

// Function to find the original
// array from the modified array
void findOriginal(int arr[], int N)
{

    // Initialize the variable sum
    // with the first element of array
    int sum = arr[0];

    for (int i = 1; i < N; i++) {

        // Calculate original element
        // from average of first i elements
        arr[i] = (i + 1) * arr[i] - sum;

        // Add current element to sum
        sum += arr[i];
    }

    // Print the array
    for (int i = 0; i < N; i++) {
        cout << arr[i] << " ";
    }
}

// Driver function
int main()
{

    int arr[] = { 2, 6, 8, 10 };
    int N = sizeof(arr) / sizeof(arr[0]);

    // Call the function
    findOriginal(arr, N);

    return 0;
}

Java

  // Function to find the original
  // array from the modified array

  {

      // Initialize the variable sum
      // with the first element of array
      int sum = arr[0];

      for (int i = 1; i < N; i++) {

          // Calculate original element
          // from average of first i elements
          arr[i] = (i + 1) * arr[i] - sum;

          // Add current element to sum
          sum += arr[i];
      }

      // Print the array
      for (int i = 0; i < N; i++) {
          System.out.print(arr[i] + " ");
      }
  }

  // Driver function
  public static void main(String [] args)
  {

      int [] arr = new int [] { 2, 6, 8, 10 };
      int N = arr.length;

      // Call the function
      findOriginal(arr, N);
  }
