Given an array arr[] of length N, the task is to find the smallest pair of indices (i, j) such that the product of elements in the subarray arr[i + 1, j – 1] is co-prime with either the product of the subarray arr[0, i] or that of the subarray arr[j, N]. If no such pair exists, the print “-1”.
Examples:
Input: arr[] = {2, 4, 1, 3, 7}
Output: (0, 2)
Explanation: The product of the subarray {arr[1], arr[1]} is 4. The product of right subarray = 1 * 3 * 7 = 21. Since 4 and 21 are co-primes, then print the range (0, 2) as the answer.Input: arr[] = {21, 3, 11, 7, 18}
Output: (1, 3)
Explanation: The product of the subarray {arr[1], arr[2]} is 11. The product of right subarray is 7 * 18 = 126. Since 11 and 126 are co-primes, then print the range (1, 3) as the answer.
Naive Approach: The simplest approach is to iterate through every possible pair of indices (i, j) and for each pair, find the product of subarray arr[0, i] and arr[j, N] and check if it is co-prime with the product of the subarray arr[i + 1, j – 1] or not. If found to be true, then print those pair of indices. If no such pair exists, then print “-1”.
Time Complexity: O((N3)*log(M)), where M is the product of all elements of the array.
Auxiliary Space: O(1)
Efficient Approach: To optimize the above approach, the idea is to use an auxiliary array to store the suffix product of the array elements. Follow the steps below to solve the problem:
- Store the product of suffix elements in rightProd[], where rightProd[i] stores the product of elements from arr[i], arr[N – 1].
- Find the product of all elements in the array as totalProd.
-
Traverse the given array using the variable i and perform the following operations:
- Initialize a variable, say product.
- Iterate through the array using variable j from the range [i, N – 1].
- Update product by multiplying product by arr[j].
- Initialize leftProduct as total/right_prod[i].
- Check if the product is co-prime with one of the leftProduct or rightProduct or not. If found to be true, then print the pair (i – 1, j + 1) and break out of the loop.
- After the above steps, if no such pair exists then print “-1”.
