Given an array arr[] consisting of first N natural numbers, where arr[i] = i ( 1-based indexing ) and a positive integer K, the task is to print the array arr[] obtained after removing every (arr[i] + arr[i + 1])th element from the array in every ith operation exactly K times.

Examples:

Input: arr[] = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8}, K = 2
Output: 1 2 4 5 7
Explanation:
Initially, the array arr[] is {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8}.
Operation 1: Delete every (A[1] + A[2])th element, i.e., every 3rd element from the array arr[]. Now the array modifies to {1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8}.
Operation 2: Delete every (A[2] + A[3])th element, i.e., every 6th element from the array arr[]. Now the array modifies to {1, 2, 4, 5, 7}.
After performing the above operations, the array obtained is {1, 2, 4, 5, 7}.

Input: N = 10, K = 3
Output: 1 2 4 5 7 10

 

Approach: The given problem can be solved by performing the given operation exactly K times by deleting every (arr[i] + arr[i + 1])th term from the array in every ith operation. Follow the steps below to solve the problem:

  • Iterate over the range [0, K – 1] using the variable i, and perform the following steps:
    • Initialize an auxiliary array B[] to stores the elements of the array arr[] after each deletion operation.
    • Traverse the given array arr[] and if the current index is not divisible by the value (arr[i] + arr[i + 1]) then insert that element in the array B[].
    • After the above steps, insert all the elements of the array B[] in the array arr[].
  • After completing the above steps, print the array arr[] as the resultant array.

Below is the implementation of the above approach:

C++




// C++ program for the above approach
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Function to modify array by removing
// every K-th element from the array
vector<int> removeEveryKth(vector<int> l, int k)
{
 
    for (int i = 0; i < l.size(); i++)
    {
        // Check if current element
        // is the k-th element
        if (i % k == 0)
            l[i] = 0;
    }
   
    // Stores the elements after
    // removing every kth element
    vector<int> arr;
    arr.push_back(0);
 
    for (int i = 1; i < l.size(); i++)
    {
       
        // Append the current element
        // if it is not k-th element
        if (l[i] != 0)
            arr.push_back(l[i]);
      }
   
    // Return the new array after
    // removing every k-th element
    return arr;
}
 
// Function to print the array
void printArray(vector<int> l)
{
 
    // Traverse the array l[]
    for (int i = 1; i < l.size(); i++)
        cout << l[i] << " ";
      cout << endl;
}
 
// Function to print the array after
// performing the given operations
// exactly k times
void printSequence(int n, int k)
{
 
    // Store first N natural numbers
    vector<int> l(n+1);
 
    for (int i = 0; i < n + 1; i++) l[i]=i;
    int x = 1;
 
    // Iterate over the range [0, k-1]
    for (int i = 0; i < k; i++)
    {
 
        // Store sums of the two
        // consecutive terms
        int p = l[x] + l[x + 1];
 
        // Remove every p-th
        // element from the array
        l = removeEveryKth(l, p);
 
        // Increment x by 1 for
        // the next iteration
        x += 1;
      }
 
    // Print the resultant array
    printArray(l);
}
 
// Driver Code
int main()
{
    // Given arrays
    int N = 8;
    int K = 2;
 
    //Function Call
    printSequence(N, K);
 
}
