Given an array of integers arr[] and an integer x, the task is to sort all the elements of the array which are multiples of x in decreasing order in their relative positions i.e. positions of the other elements must not be affected.

Examples: 

Input: arr[] = {10, 5, 8, 2, 15}, x = 5 
Output: 15 10 8 2 5 
We rearrange all multiples of 5 (i.e. 10, 5 and 15) in decreasing order in their relative positions, keeping other elements same.

Input: arr[] = {100, 12, 25, 50, 5}, x = 5 
Output: 100 12 50 25 5 

Approach:  

  1. Traverse the array and check if the number is multiple of x. If it is, store it in a vector.
  2. Then, sort the vector in decreasing order.
  3. Again traverse the array and replace the elements which are multiples of 5 with the vector elements one by one.

Below is the implementation of the above approach:  

C++




// C++ implementation of the approach
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Function to sort all the
// multiples of x from the
// array in decreasing order
void sortMultiples(int arr[], int n, int x)
{
    vector<int> v;
 
    // Insert all multiples of x to a vector
    for (int i = 0; i < n; i++)
        if (arr[i] % x == 0)
            v.push_back(arr[i]);
 
    // Sort the vector in descending
    sort(v.begin(), v.end(), std::greater<int>());
 
    int j = 0;
 
    // update the array elements
    for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
        if (arr[i] % x == 0)
            arr[i] = v[j++];
    }
}
 
// Utility function to print the array
void printArray(int arr[], int N)
{
    // Print the array
    for (int i = 0; i < N; i++) {
        cout << arr[i] << " ";
    }
}
 
// Driver code
int main()
{
    int arr[] = { 125, 3, 15, 6, 100, 5 };
    int x = 5;
    int n = sizeof(arr) / sizeof(arr[0]);
 
    sortMultiples(arr, n, x);
 
    printArray(arr, n);
 
    return 0;
}


Java




// Java implementation of the approach
import java.util.*;
 
class GFG
{
 
    // Function to sort all the
    // multiples of x from the
    // array in decreasing order
    static void sortMultiples(int arr[], int n, int x)
    {
        Vector<Integer> v = new Vector<Integer>();
 
        // Insert all multiples of x to a vector
        for (int i = 0; i < n; i++)
        {
            if (arr[i] % x == 0)
            {
                v.add(arr[i]);
            }
        }
 
        // Sort the vector in descending
        Collections.sort(v, Collections.reverseOrder());
 
        int j = 0;
 
        // update the array elements
        for (int i = 0; i < n; i++)
        {
            if (arr[i] % x == 0)
            {
                arr[i] = v.get(j++);
            }
        }
    }
 
    // Utility function to print the array
    static void printArray(int arr[], int N)
    {
        // Print the array
        for (int i = 0; i < N; i++)
        {
            System.out.print(arr[i] + " ");
        }
    }
 
    // Driver code
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        int arr[] = {125, 3, 15, 6, 100, 5};
        int x = 5;
        int n = arr.length;
 
        sortMultiples(arr, n, x);
 
        printArray(arr, n);
    }
}
