Permute the elements of an array following given order
A permutation is a rearrangement of members of a sequence into a new sequence. For example, there are 24 permutations of [a, b, c, d]. Some of them are [b, a, d, c], [d, a, b, c] and [a, d, b, c].
A permutation can be specified by an array P[] where P[i] represents the location of the element at index i in the permutation.
For example, the array [3, 2, 1, 0] represents the permutation that maps the element at index 0 to index 3, the element at index 1 to index 2, the element at index 2 to index 1 and the element at index 3 to index 0.
Given the array arr[] of N elements and a permutation array P[], the task is to permute the given array arr[] based on the permutation array P[].
Examples:
Input: arr[] = {1, 2, 3, 4}, P[] = {3, 2, 1, 0}
Output: 4 3 2 1
Input: arr[] = {11, 32, 3, 42}, P[] = {2, 3, 0, 1}
Output: 3 42 11 32
Approach: Every permutation can be represented by a collection of independent permutations, each of which is cyclic i.e. it moves all the elements by a fixed offset wrapping around. To find and apply the cycle that indicates entry i, just keep going forward (from i to P[i]) till we get back at i. After completing the current cycle, find another cycle that has not yet been applied. To check this, subtract n from P[i] after applying it. This means that if an entry in P[i] is negative, we have performed the corresponding move.
Below is the implementation of the above approach:
