Mth element after K Right Rotations of an Array

Given non-negative integers K, M, and an array arr[ ] consisting of N elements, the task is to find the Mth element of the array after K right rotations.

Examples: 

Input: arr[] = {3, 4, 5, 23}, K = 2, M = 1 
Output:
Explanation: 
The array after first right rotation a1[ ] = {23, 3, 4, 5} 
The array after second right rotation a2[ ] = {5, 23, 3, 4} 
1st element after 2 right rotations is 5.
Input: arr[] = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}, K = 3, M = 2 
Output:
Explanation: 
The array after 3 right rotations has 4 at its second position. 

Naive Approach: 
The simplest approach to solve the problem is to Perform Right Rotation operation K times and then find the Mth element of the final array. 

Algorithm:

  1. Define a function called leftrotate that takes a vector and an integer d as input. The function should reverse the elements of the vector from the beginning up to index d, then from index d to the end, and finally the entire vector.
  2. Define a function called rightrotate that takes a vector and an integer d as input. The function should call leftrotate with the vector and the difference between the size of the vector and d as arguments.
  3. Define a function called getFirstElement that takes an integer array a, its size N, and two integers K and M as input. The function should do the following:
    1. Initialize a vector v with the elements of array a.
    2. Right rotate the vector v K times by calling rightrotate in a loop with v and the integer value 1 as arguments, K times.
    3. Return the Mth element of the rotated vector v.
  4. In the main function, initialize an integer array a and its size N, and two integers K and M with appropriate values.
  5.  Call the function getFirstElement with an array a, N, K, and M as arguments and print the returned value.

Below is the implementation of the approach:




// C++ program to find the Mth element
// of the array after K right rotations.
 
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// In-place rotates s towards left by d
void leftrotate(vector<int>& v, int d)
{
    reverse(v.begin(), v.begin() + d);
    reverse(v.begin() + d, v.end());
    reverse(v.begin(), v.end());
}
 
// In-place rotates s towards right by d
void rightrotate(vector<int>& v, int d)
{
    leftrotate(v, v.size() - d);
}
 
// Function to return Mth element of
// array after k right rotations
int getFirstElement(int a[], int N, int K, int M)
{
    vector<int> v;
 
    for (int i = 0; i < N; i++)
        v.push_back(a[i]);
 
    // Right rotate K times
    while (K--) {
        rightrotate(v, 1);
    }
 
    // return Mth element
    return v[M - 1];
}
 
// Driver code

{
    // Array initialization

Time Complexity: O(N * K) 
Auxiliary Space: O(N)
Efficient Approach: 
To optimize the problem, the following observations need to be made: 

 For example, a[ ] = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}, K=5 
Modified array after 5 right rotation a5[ ] = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}.  

 { (N-K) + (M-1) } th element in the original array.  

 (M – K – 1) th  element in the original array.  

Below is the implementation of the above approach:




// C++ program to implement
// the above approach
#include<bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Function to return Mth element of
// array after k right rotations
int getFirstElement(int a[], int N,

{

        // Mth element after k right
        // rotations is (N-K)+(M-1) th
        // element of the array

    // Otherwise

        // (M - K - 1) th element

        index = (M - K - 1);

    return 0;
