Given an array arr[] of length N, two arrays start[] and end[] of size M each where {start[i], end[i]} denotes a subarray of arr[] and an integer base, the task is to determine the maximum height of a tower with given base that can be formed using elements from a single subarray bounded by any {start[i], end[i]} and satisfying the following conditions:

  • All elements in each level should be equal.
  • Number of elements in each level is the same as base.
  • No two level can have the same element.

Example to understand the problem

Examples:

Input: N = 9, arr[] = {1, 5, 7, 3, 2, 4, 6, 9, 8}, M = 3, start[] = {0, 3, 5}, end[] =  {8, 5, 6}, base = 1
Output: 9
Explanation: 
First Subarray = {0, 8}. There are 9 different elements. 
Each element can be kept at a different level.
So the height of the tower can be maximum 9 as base is 1. 
Second Subarray = {3, 5}. There are 3 unique elements.
So it will have height 3 at maximum.
Third Subarray = {5, 6}. We can form a tower of max height 2.
The maximum height among all the sub-arrays = 9.

Input: N = 5, arr[] = {1, 3, 3, 7, 5}, M = 2, start[] = {0, 1}, end[] =  {0, 3}, base = 2 
Output: 1
Explanation:
First Subarray = {0, 0}. height = 0 for this sub-array,  
because no tower of base 2 can be formed.
Second Sub-array = {1, 2}. Tower of height 1 can be formed by using 
arr[1] and arr[2] at 1st level of tower.
The maximum height of the tower that can be obtained from all the above subarrays is 1.

Approach: To solve the problem follow the below idea:

Count the frequency of each distinct element for each sub-array using Hash-Map. Initialized current_height a variable to zero, Traverse on Hash-Map and if an element’s frequency is greater than or equal to base then increment the current_height. Print the maximum value of Height H among all the sub-arrays.

Follow the steps to solve the problem:

  • Create a max_height variable and set it as max_height = 0. Then for each sub-array follow these sub-steps:
    • Create a Hash-Map and a current_variable = 0.
    • Count the frequency of each distinct element and store it in Hash-Map as pair of <element, frequency>.
    • While traversing on Hash-Map, if the frequency of a pair in Hash-Map is greater than or equal to the base of Tower, then increment current_height, and if current_height is greater than max_height then update max_height as current_height.
  • Print the value of the max_height variable.

Below is the implementation of the above approach:

C++




// C++ code to implement the approach
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Function to obtain Maximum
// height of tower
int Max_height(int n, int arr[], int m,
               int start[], int end[], int base)
{
    // Variable to store Maximum height
    // of tower among all sub-array
    int max_height = 0;
 
    // Loop for obtaining maximum value
    // of H for all sub-arrays
    for (int i = 0; i < m; i++)
    {
 
        // Variable to current height
        // for each sub-array
        int current_height = 0;
 
        // Variable to store start
        // point of each sub-array
        int start_point = start[i];
 
        // Variable to store start
        // point of each sub-array
        int end_point = end[i];
 
        // HashMap initialized to
        // store frequencies
        unordered_map<int, int> map;
 
        // Loop for Traversing
        // on sub-array
        for (int j = start_point; j <= end_point; j++)
        {
 
            // Updating frequencies in
            // Hash-Map for each
            // distinct element present
            // in sub-array
            map[arr[j]]++;
        }
 
        // For loop for traversing
        // on Map
        for (auto it = map.begin(); it != map.end(); it++)
        {
            if (it->second >= base)
            {
 
                // Updating  value of
                // current_height
                current_height++;
 
                // Updating value of
                // max_height by
                // comparing it with
                // current_height
                max_height = current_height > max_height
                                 ? current_height
                                 : max_height;
            }
        }
    }
    // Printing value of max height
    // among all subarrays
    return max_height;
}
