Given three integer N, K and X, the task is to create an array of length N such that sum of all its K-length subarrays modulo N is X.
Examples: 
 

Input: N = 6, K = 3, X = 3 
Output: 9 6 6 9 6 6 
Explanation: 
All subarrays of length 3 and their respective sum%N values are as follows: 
[9, 6, 6] Sum = 21 % 6 = 3 
[6, 6, 9] sum = 21 % 6 = 3 
[6, 9, 6] sum = 21 % 6 = 3 
[9, 6, 6] sum = 21 % 6 = 3 
Since all its subarrays have sum % N = X (=3), the generated array is valid.
Input: N = 4, K = 2, X = 2 
Output: 6 4 6 4 
 

 

Approach: 
We can observe that in order to make the sum of any subarray of size K modulo N to be equal to X, the subarray needs to have a K – 1 elements equal to N and 1 element equal to N + X.
Illustration: 
 

If N = 6, K = 3, X = 3 
Here a K length subarray needs to be a permutation of {9, 6, 6} where 2 (K – 1) elements are divisible by 6 and 1 element has modulo N equal to X( 9%6 = 3) 
Sum of subarray % N = (21 % 6) = 3 (same as X) 
Hence, each K length 
 

Hence, follow the steps below to solve the problem: 
 

  • Iterate i from 0 to N – 1, to print the ith element of the required subarray. 
     
  • If i % K is equal to 0, print N + X. Otherwise, for all other values of i, print N
     
  • This ensures that every possible K-length subarray has a sum K*N + X. Hence sum modulo N is X for all such subarrays. 
     

Below is the implementation of the above approach. 
 

C++




// C++ implementation of the
// above approach
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Function prints the required array
void createArray(int n, int k, int x)
{
    for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
        // First element of each K
        // length subarrays
        if (i % k == 0) {
            cout << x + n << " ";
        }
        else {
            cout << n << " ";
        }
    }
}
 
// Driver Program
int main()
{
 
    int N = 6, K = 3, X = 3;
    createArray(N, K, X);
}


Java




// Java implementation of the above approach
import java.util.*;

    for(int i = 0; i < n; i++)
    {
         
       // First element of each K
       // length subarrays
       if (i % k == 0)
       {
           System.out.print((x + n) + " ");
       }
       else
       {
           System.out.print(n + " ");
       }
    }
}
 
// Driver Code
public static void main(String args[])
{
    int N = 6, K = 3, X = 3;
     
    createArray(N, K, X);
}
}

        if (i % k == 0):
            print(x + n, end = " ")
        else :
            print(n, end = " ")

<script>
 
// Javascript implementation of the
// above approach
 
// Function prints the required array
function createArray(n, k, x)
{
    for (var i = 0; i < n; i++) {
        // First element of each K
        // length subarrays
        if (i % k == 0) {
            document.write( x + n + " ");
        }
        else {
            document.write( n + " ");
        }

}
 
// Driver Program
var N = 6, K = 3, X = 3;
createArray(N, K, X);
 
// This code is contributed by itsok.

Output: 

9 6 6 9 6 6
