Given an array arr[] of N elements (0 ? arr[i] ? 1000). The task is to find the maximum length of the sub-array that contains only ugly numbers. Ugly numbers are numbers whose only prime factors are 2, 3, or 5
The sequence 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 15, ….. shows the first few ugly numbers. By convention, 1 is included.

Examples:  

Input: arr[] = {1, 2, 7, 9, 120, 810, 374} 
Output:
The Longest possible sub-array of ugly number is {9, 120, 810}
Input: arr[] = {109, 480, 320, 142, 121, 1} 
Output: 2  

Approach:  

  • Take a unordered_set, and insert all the ugly numbers which are less than 1000 in the set.
  • Traverse the array with two variables named current_max and max_so_far.
  • Check for each element if it is present in the set.
  • If an ugly number is found then increment current_max and compare it with max_so_far.
  • If current_max > max_so_far then max_so_far = current_max.
  • Every time a non-ugly element is found, reset current_max = 0.

Below is the implementation of the above approach: 

C++




// C++ implementation of the approach
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Function to get the nth ugly number
unsigned uglyNumber(int n)
{
    // To store ugly numbers
    int ugly[n];
    int i2 = 0, i3 = 0, i5 = 0;
    int next_multiple_of_2 = 2;
    int next_multiple_of_3 = 3;
    int next_multiple_of_5 = 5;
    int next_ugly_no = 1;
 
    ugly[0] = 1;
    for (int i = 1; i < n; i++) {
        next_ugly_no = min(next_multiple_of_2,
                           min(next_multiple_of_3,
                               next_multiple_of_5));
        ugly[i] = next_ugly_no;
        if (next_ugly_no == next_multiple_of_2) {
            i2 = i2 + 1;
            next_multiple_of_2 = ugly[i2] * 2;
        }
        if (next_ugly_no == next_multiple_of_3) {
            i3 = i3 + 1;
            next_multiple_of_3 = ugly[i3] * 3;
        }
        if (next_ugly_no == next_multiple_of_5) {
            i5 = i5 + 1;
            next_multiple_of_5 = ugly[i5] * 5;
        }
    }
 
    return next_ugly_no;
}
 
// Function to return the length of the
// maximum sub-array of ugly numbers
int maxUglySubarray(int arr[], int n)
{
    unordered_set<int> s;
    int i = 1;
 
    // Insert ugly numbers in set
    // which are less than 1000
    while (1) {
        int next_ugly_number = uglyNumber(i);
        if (next_ugly_number > 1000)
            break;
        s.insert(next_ugly_number);
        i++;
    }
 
    int current_max = 0, max_so_far = 0;
 
    for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
 
        // Check if element is non ugly
        if (s.find(arr[i]) == s.end())
            current_max = 0;
 
        // If element is ugly, then update
        // current_max and max_so_far accordingly
        else {
            current_max++;
            max_so_far = max(current_max, max_so_far);
        }
    }
 
    return max_so_far;
}
 
// Driver code
int main()
{
 
    int arr[] = { 1, 0, 6, 7, 320, 800, 100, 648 };
    int n = sizeof(arr) / sizeof(arr[0]);
    cout << maxUglySubarray(arr, n);
 
    return 0;
