Given an array of positive integers of size greater than 2. The task is to find the minimum value of the sum of consecutive difference modulus of an array, i.e. the value of |A1-A0|+|A2-A1|+|A3-A2|+……+|An-1-An-2|+|An-A(n-1)| after removal of one element from the array, where An represents the nth index of an array element value.
Examples:
Input: arr[] = [1, 5, 3, 2, 10]
Output: 7
On removing 10, we get B = {1, 5, 3, 2} i.e. |1-5|+|5-3|+|3-2| = 4+2+1 = 7Input: arr[] = [6, 12, 7, 8, 10, 15]
Output: 9
On removing 12, we get B = {6, 12, 7, 8, 10, 15} i.e. |6-7|+|7-8|+|8-10|+|10-15| = 1+1+2+5 = 9
The idea is to traverse the array from start to end, find the element in the array on which we get a maximum difference of consecutive modulus after its removal. Subtract the maximum value obtained from the total value calculated.
Below is the implementation of the above approach:
// C++ implementation of above approach #include <bits/stdc++.h> using namespace std;
// Function to find the element int findMinRemoval( int arr[], int n)
{ // Value variable for storing the total value
int temp, value = 0;
// Declaring maximum value as zero
int maximum = 0;
// If array contains an element
if (n == 1)
return 0;
for ( int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
// Storing the maximum value in temp variable
if (i != 0 && i != n - 1) {
value = value + abs (arr[i] - arr[i + 1]);
// Adding the adjacent difference modulus
// values of removed element. Removing adjacent
// difference modulus value after removing element
temp = abs (arr[i] - arr[i + 1]) +
abs (arr[i] - arr[i - 1]) -
abs (arr[i - 1] - arr[i + 1]);
}
else if (i == 0) {
value = value + abs (arr[i] - arr[i + 1]);
temp = abs (arr[i] - arr[i + 1]);
}
else
temp = abs (arr[i] - arr[i - 1]);
maximum = max(maximum, temp);
}
// Returning total value-maximum value
return (value - maximum);
} // Drivers code int main()
{ int arr[] = { 1, 5, 3, 2, 10 };
int n = sizeof (arr) / sizeof (arr[0]);
cout << findMinRemoval(arr, n) << "\n" ;
return 0;
