Given an integer array arr[], the task is to sort only those elements which are ugly numbers at their relative positions in the array (positions of other elements must not be affected). 
Ugly numbers are numbers whose only prime factors are 2, 3 or 5
The sequence 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 15, ….. shows first few ugly numbers. By convention, 1 is included.
Examples: 
 

Input: arr[] = {13, 9, 11, 3, 2} 
Output: 13 2 11 3 9 
9, 3 and 2 are the only ugly numbers in the given array.
Input: arr[] = {1, 2, 3, 7, 12, 10} 
Output: 1 2 3 7 10 12 
 

 

Approach: 
 

  • Start traversing the array and for every element arr[i], if arr[i] is an ugly number then store it in an ArrayList and update arr[i] = -1
  • After all the ugly numbers have been stored in the ArrayList, sort the updated ArrayList.
  • Again traverse the array and for every element, 
    • If arr[i] = -1 then print the first element from the ArrayList that hasn’t been printed before.
    • Else, print arr[i].

Below is the implementation of the above approach:
 

C++




// CPP implementation of the approach
#include<bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Function that returns true if n is an ugly number
bool isUgly(int n)
{
    // While divisible by 2, keep dividing
    while (n % 2 == 0)
        n = n / 2;
 
    // While divisible by 3, keep dividing
    while (n % 3 == 0)
        n = n / 3;
 
    // While divisible by 5, keep dividing
    while (n % 5 == 0)
        n = n / 5;
 
    // n must be 1 if it was ugly
    if (n == 1)
        return true;
    return false;
}
 
// Function to sort ugly numbers
// in their relative positions
void sortUglyNumbers(int arr[], int n)
{
 
    // To store the ugly numbers from the array
    vector<int> list;
 
    int i;
    for (i = 0; i < n; i++)
    {
 
        // If current element is an ugly number
        if (isUgly(arr[i]))
        {
 
            // Add it to the ArrayList
            // and set arr[i] to -1
            list.push_back(arr[i]);
            arr[i] = -1;
        }
    }
 
    // Sort the ugly numbers
    sort(list.begin(),list.end());
 
    int j = 0;
    for (i = 0; i < n; i++)
    {
 
        // Position of an ugly number
        if (arr[i] == -1)
            cout << list[j++] << " ";
        else
            cout << arr[i] << " ";
    }
}
 
// Driver code
int main()
{
    int arr[] = { 1, 2, 3, 7, 12, 10 };
    int n = sizeof(arr)/sizeof(arr[0]);
    sortUglyNumbers(arr, n);
}

            n = n / 2;
 
        // While divisible by 3, keep dividing
        while (n % 3 == 0)
            n = n / 3;
 
        // While divisible by 5, keep dividing
        while (n % 5 == 0)
            n = n / 5;
 
        // n must be 1 if it was ugly
        if (n == 1)
            return true;
        return false;
    }

    {
 
        // To store the ugly numbers from the array
        ArrayList<Integer> list = new ArrayList<>();
 
        int i;
        for (i = 0; i < n; i++) {
 
            // If current element is an ugly number
            if (isUgly(arr[i])) {
 
                // Add it to the ArrayList
                // and set arr[i] to -1
                list.add(arr[i]);
                arr[i] = -1;
            }
        }
 
        // Sort the ugly numbers
        Collections.sort(list);
 
        int j = 0;
        for (i = 0; i < n; i++) {
 
            // Position of an ugly number
            if (arr[i] == -1)
                System.out.print(list.get(j++) + " ");
            else
                System.out.print(arr[i] + " ");
        }
