Given two arrays A[] and B[] consisting of N integers, the task is to count pairs (A[i], B[j]) with even and odd product and print the maximum of the two counts.

Examples:

Input: A[] = {1, 2, 3}, B[] = {4, 5, 6}
Output: 7
Explanation:
Pairs with odd product count are: (1, 5) (3, 5). Therefore, number of pairs with odd product = 2.
Pairs with even product count are: (1, 4) (1, 6) (2, 4) (2, 5) (2, 6) (3, 4) (3, 6). Therefore, number of pairs with even product = 7
Therefore, the maximum of the two counts is 7. Hence, the output 7.

Input: A[] = {1, 5, 9}, B[] = {1, 7, 3}
Output: 9
Explanation:
Pairs with odd product count are: (1, 1) (1, 7) (1, 3) (5, 1) (5, 7) (5, 3) (9, 1) (9, 7) (9, 3). Therefore, number of pairs with odd product = 9
No pair with even product count exists.
Therefore, the output 9.

Brute Force Approach:

Brute force approach to solve this problem is to iterate over all possible pairs (A[i], B[j]) and count the number of pairs with odd and even products. We can use two variables, one to store the count of pairs with odd product and the other to store the count of pairs with even product. We can then return the maximum of the two counts.

Below is the implementation of the above approach:

C++




// C++ program for above approach
 
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Function to return the maximum
// count of odd count pair or
// even count pair
int maxcountpair(int A[], int B[], int N)
{
    int odd_pairs = 0, even_pairs = 0;
    for(int i=0; i<N; i++)
    {
        for(int j=0; j<N; j++)
        {
            int product = A[i] * B[j];
            if(product % 2 == 0)
                even_pairs++;
            else
                odd_pairs++;
        }
    }
    return max(odd_pairs, even_pairs);
}
 
 
// Driver Code
int main()
{
    int A[] = { 1, 2, 3 };
    int B[] = { 4, 5, 6 };
 
    int N = sizeof(A) / sizeof(A[0]);
 
    // Function Call
    cout << maxcountpair(A, B, N);
 
    return 0;
}


Java




import java.util.*;
 
class Main {
    // Function to return the maximum
    // count of odd count pair or
    // even count pair
    static int maxcountpair(int A[], int B[], int N)
    {
        int odd_pairs = 0, even_pairs = 0;
        for(int i=0; i<N; i++)
        {
            for(int j=0; j<N; j++)
            {
                int product = A[i] * B[j];
                if(product % 2 == 0)
                    even_pairs++;
                else
                    odd_pairs++;
            }
        }
        return Math.max(odd_pairs, even_pairs);
    }
 
    // Driver Code
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        int A[] = { 1, 2, 3 };
        int B[] = { 4, 5, 6 };
 
        int N = A.length;
 
        // Function Call
        System.out.println(maxcountpair(A, B, N));
    }
}

Efficient solution: The above approach can be optimized by observing that only multiplying a pair of odd integers results in an odd number. Otherwise, an even integer will be generated. Follow the steps below to solve the problem:

  • Initialize variables oddcount, evencount, and oddCountB to 0 to store the count of odd product pairs, even product pairs, and the count of odd numbers in the array B[] respectively.
  • Traverse the array B[] and increment oddCountB if element is odd. Now the value of (N – oddCountB) gives the number of even elements in the array B[].
  • Traverse the array A[] and do the following:
    • If the current element is even, increment evencount by N since multiplying any number in B[] will result in even product pairs.
    • Otherwise, increment evencount by (N – oddCountB) since the even numbers in B[] when multiplied with an odd number in A[], gives (N – oddCountB) pairs and increment oddcount by oddCountB, since odd numbers in B[] multiplying with an odd number in A[] gives the count of odd product pair.
  • After completing the above steps, print the maximum of the count of oddcount and evencount as the result.
