Queries to increment array elements in a given range by a given value for a given number of times

Given an array, arr[] of N positive integers and M queries of the form {a, b, val, f}. The task is to print the array after performing each query to increment array elements in the range [a, b] by a value val f number of times.

Examples:

Input: arr[] = {1, 2, 3}, M=3, Q[][] = {{1, 2, 1, 4}, {1, 3, 2, 3}, {2, 3, 4, 5}}
Output: 11 32 29
Explanation: 
After applying 1st Query 4 times, 
Array will be: 5 6 3
After applying 2nd Query 3 times, 
Array will be: 11 12 9
After applying 3rd Query 5 times, 
Array will be: 11 32 29
Therefore, the final array will be {11, 32, 29}.

Input: arr[] = {1}, M = 1, Q[][] = {{1, 1, 1, 1}}
Output: 2
Explanation: 
After applying 1st and the only query 1 time only.
Array will be: 2

Naive Approach: The simplest approach is to perform each query on the given array i.e., for each query {a, b, val, f} traverse the array over the range [a, b] and increase each element by value val to f number of times. Print the array after performing each query.

Time Complexity: O(N * M * max(Freq))
Auxiliary Space: O(1)

Better Approach: The idea is based on the difference array which can be used in Range Update operations. Below are the steps:

  1. Find the difference array D[] of a given array A[] is defined as D[i] = (A[i] – A[i – 1]) (0 < i < N) and D[0] = A[0] considering 0 based indexing.
  2. Add val to D[a – 1] and subtract it from D[(b – 1) + 1], i.e., D[a – 1] += val, D[(b – 1) + 1] -= val. Perform this operation Freq number of times.
  3. Now update the given array using the difference array. Update A[0] to D[0] and print it. For rest of the elements, do A[i] = A[i-1] + D[i].
  4. Print the resultant array after the above steps.

Time Complexity: O(N + M * max(Freq))
Auxiliary Space: O(N) Extra space for Difference Array

Efficient Approach: This approach is similar to the previous approach but an extended version of the application of a difference array. Previously the task was to update values from indices a to b by val, f number of times. Here instead of calling the range update function f number of times, call it only once for each query:

  1. Update values from indices a to b by val*f, only 1 time for each query.
  2. Add val*f to D[a – 1] and subtract it from D[(b – 1) + 1], i.e., increase D[a – 1] by val*f, and decrease D[b] by val*f.
  3. Now update the main array using the difference array. Update A[0] to D[0] and print it.
  4. For rest of the elements, Update A[i] by (A[i-1] + D[i]).
  5. Print the resultant array after the above steps.

Below is the implementation of the above approach: 




// C++ program for the above approach
 
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Function that creates a difference
// array D[] for A[]
vector<int> initializeDiffArray(
    vector<int>& A)
{
    int N = A.size();
 
    // Stores the difference array
    vector<int> D(N + 1);
 
    D[0] = A[0], D[N] = 0;
 
    // Update difference array D[]
    for (int i = 1; i < N; i++)
        D[i] = A[i] - A[i - 1];
 
    // Return difference array
    return D;
}
 
// Function that performs the range
// update queries
void update(vector<int>& D, int l,
            int r, int x)
{
    // Update the ends of the range
    D[l] += x;
    D[r + 1] -= x;
}
 
// Function that perform all query
// once with modified update Call
void UpdateDiffArray(vector<int>& DiffArray,
                     int Start, int End,
                     int Val, int Freq)
{
    // For range update, difference
    // array is modified
    update(DiffArray, Start - 1,
           End - 1, Val * Freq);
}
 
// Function to take queries
void queriesInput(vector<int>& DiffArray,
                  int Q[][4], int M)
{
    // Traverse the query
    for (int i = 0; i < M; i++) {
 
        // Function Call for updates
        UpdateDiffArray(DiffArray, Q[i][0],
                        Q[i][1], Q[i][2],
                        Q[i][3]);
    }
}
 
// Function to updates the array
// using the difference array
void UpdateArray(vector<int>& A,
                 vector<int>& D)
{
    // Traverse the array A[]
    for (int i = 0; i < A.size(); i++) {
 
        // 1st Element
        if (i == 0) {
            A[i] = D[i];
        }
 
        // A[0] or D[0] decides values
        // of rest of the elements
        else {
            A[i] = D[i] + A[i - 1];
        }
    }
}
 
// Function that prints the array
void PrintArray(vector<int>& A)
{
    // Print the element
    for (int i = 0; i < A.size(); i++) {
        cout << A[i] << " ";
    }
 
    return;
}
 
// Function that print the array
// after performing all queries
void printAfterUpdate(vector<int>& A,
                      int Q[][4], int M)
{
    // Create and fill difference
    // array for range updates
    vector<int> DiffArray
        = initializeDiffArray(A);
 
    queriesInput(DiffArray, Q, M);
 
    // Now update Array A using
    // Difference Array
    UpdateArray(A, DiffArray);
 
    // Print updated Array A
    // after M queries
    PrintArray(A);
}
 
// Driver Code
int main()
{
    // N = Array size, M = Queries
    int N = 3, M = 3;
 
    // Given array A[]
    vector<int> A{ 1, 2, 3 };
 
    // Queries
    int Q[][4] = { { 1, 2, 1, 4 },
                   { 1, 3, 2, 3 },
                   { 2, 3, 4, 5 } };
 
    // Function Call
    printAfterUpdate(A, Q, M);
 
    return 0;
}
