Minimum number of elements that should be removed to make the array good

Last Updated : 23 Dec, 2021

Given an array arr[], the task is to find the minimum number of elements that must be removed to make the array good. A sequence a₁, a₂ … a_n is called good if for each element a_i, there exists an element a_j (i not equals to j) such that a_i + a_j is a power of two i.e. 2^d for some non-negative integer d.
Examples:

Input: arr[] = {4, 7, 1, 5, 4, 9}
Output: 1
Remove 5 from the array to make the array good.
Input: arr[] = {1, 3, 1, 1}
Output: 0

Approach: We should delete only such a_i for which there is no a_j (i not equals to j) such that a_i + a_j is a power of 2.
For each value let’s find the number of its occurrences in the array. We can use the map data-structure.
Now we can easily check that a_i doesn’t have a pair a_j. Let’s iterate over all possible sums, S = 2⁰, 2¹, …, 2³⁰ and for each S calculate S – a[i] whether it exists in the map.
Below is the implementation of the above approach :

C++

// C++ implementation of the approach
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Function to return the minimum number
// of elements that must be removed
// to make the given array good
int minimumRemoval(int n, int a[])
{
 
    map<int, int> c;
 
    // Count frequency of each element
    for (int i = 0; i < n; i++)
        c[a[i]]++;
 
    int ans = 0;
 
    // For each element check if there
    // exists another element that makes
    // a valid pair
    for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
        bool ok = false;
        for (int j = 0; j < 31; j++) {
            int x = (1 << j) - a[i];
            if (c.count(x) && (c[x] > 1
                       || (c[x] == 1 && x != a[i]))) {
                ok = true;
                break;
            }
        }
 
        // If does not exist then
        // increment answer
        if (!ok)
            ans++;
    }
 
    return ans;
}
 
// Driver code
int main()
{
    int a[] = { 4, 7, 1, 5, 4, 9 };
    int n = sizeof(a) / sizeof(a[0]);
    cout << minimumRemoval(n, a);
 
    return 0;
}

    // Count frequency of each element
    for (int i = 0; i < n; i++)
        if(c.containsKey(a[i]))
        {
            c.put(a[i], c.get(a[i])+1);
        }
        else
        {
            c.put(a[i], 1);
        }
 
    int ans = 0;
 
    // For each element check if there
