Minimum operations of the given type required to make a complete graph
Last Updated :

Given N vertex where N is even. Initially there is no edge between any of the vertices.
You are allowed to perform operation as illustrated here:
- In a single operation, the total nodes can be divided into two groups and edge (u, v) can be drawn for all possible values of u and v such that u and v both belong to different groups.
The task is to find the count of minimum number of given operations required to convert these vertices into a complete graph.
Examples:
Input: N = 4
Output: 2
Operation 1: Groups = [1, 2], [3, 4] all possible edges will be {1-4, 1-3, 2-3, 2-4}.
Operation 2: Groups = [1, 3], [2, 4] all possible edges will be {1-4, 1-3, 2-3, 2-4, 1-2, 3-4}.
Graph is now a complete graph.
Input: N = 10
Output: 4
Approach: A graph will be called a complete graph when there will be an edge between every pair of vertices. Here the problem can be solved by divide and conquer approach. To perform the minimum number of operations, divide the vertices into two groups each with N / 2 vertices and draw all possible edges. Now observe that we have to create edge between the vertices which are now in the same group. So we will divide them into half and put those in different groups.
These steps will be repeated until all the edges have been drawn i.e. at max ? log2(N) ? times as operation will divide edges into two halves of equal sizes.
Below is the implementation of the above approach:
C++
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
int minOperations( int N)
{
double x = log2(N);
int ans = ceil (x);
return ans;
}
int main()
{
int N = 10;
cout << minOperations(N);
return 0;
}

Java
class GFG
{
static int minOperations( int N)
{
double x = Math.log(N) / Math.log( 2 );
int ans = ( int )(Math.ceil(x));
return ans;
}
public static void main(String[] args)
{
int N = 10 ;
System.out.println(minOperations(N));
}
}

Python3
from math import log2, ceil
def minOperations(N):
x = log2(N)
ans = ceil(x)
return ans
if __name__ = = '__main__' :
N = 10
print (minOperations(N))

C#
using System;
class GFG
{
static int minOperations( int N)
{
double x = Math.Log(N, 2);
int ans = ( int )(Math.Ceiling(x));
return ans;
}
static void Main()
{
int N = 10;
Console.WriteLine(minOperations(N));
}
}

PHP
<?php
function minOperations( $N )
{
$x = log( $N , 2);
$ans = ceil ( $x );
return $ans ;
}
$N = 10;
echo minOperations( $N );
?>
|
Javascript
<script>
function minOperations(N)
{
var x = Math.log(N) / Math.log(2);
var ans = parseInt( (Math.ceil(x)));
return ans;
}
var N = 10;
document.write(minOperations(N));
</script>
