Sort elements of the array that occurs in between multiples of K
Given an array arr[] and an integer K. The task is to sort the elements that are in between any two multiples of K.
Examples:
Input: arr[] = {2, 1, 13, 3, 7, 8, 21, 13, 12}, K = 2
Output: 2 1 3 7 13 8 13 21 12
The multiples of 2 in the array are 2, 8 and 12.
The elements that are in between the first two multiples of 2 are 1, 13, 3 and 7.
Hence, these elements in sorted order are 1, 3, 7 and 13.
Similarly, the elements between 8 and 12 in sorted order will be 13 and 21.Input: arr[] = {11, 10, 9, 7, 4, 5, 12, 22, 13, 15, 17, 16}, K = 3
Output: 11 10 9 4 5 7 12 13 22 15 17 16
Approach: Traverse the array and keep track of the multiples of K, starting from the 2nd multiple of K sort every element between the current and the previous multiple of K. Print the updated array at the end.
Below is the implementation of the above approach:
C++
// C++ implementation of the approach#include<bits/stdc++.h>using namespace std;// Utility function to print// the contents of an arrayvoid printArr(int arr[], int n){ for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) cout << (arr[i]) << " ";}// Function to sort elements// in between multiples of kvoid sortArr(int arr[], int n, int k){ // To store the index of // previous multiple of k int prev = -1; for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) { if (arr[i] % k == 0) { // If it is not the // first multiple of k if (prev != -1) // Sort the elements in between // the previous and the current // multiple of k sort(arr + prev + 1, arr + i); // Update previous to be current prev = i; } } // Print the updated array printArr(arr, n);}// Driver codeint main(){ int arr[] = {2, 1, 13, 3, 7, 8, 21, 13, 12}; int n = sizeof(arr) / sizeof(arr[0]); int k = 2; sortArr(arr, n, k);}// This code is contributed by// Surendra_Gangwar |
