Subsequence pair from given Array having all unique and all same elements respectively

Last Updated : 25 May, 2021

Given an array arr[] of N integers, the task is to choose the two subsequences of equal lengths such that the first subsequence must have all the unique elements and the second subsequence must have all the same elements. Print the maximum length of the subsequence pair.

Examples:

Input: arr[] = {1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, 3, 3}
Output: 3
Explanation:
The first subsequence consists of elements {1, 2, 3}.
The second subsequence consists of elements {3, 3, 3}.
Input: arr[] = {2, 2, 2, 3}
Output: 2
Explanation:
The first subsequence consists of elements {2, 3}.
The second subsequence consists of elements {2, 2}.

Approach:

Count the maximum frequency(say f) of the element in the given array.
Count the distinct elements(say d) present in the array.
To make both the subsequence of equal length with the given property, then the size of the first subsequence cannot exceed d, and the size of the second subsequence cannot exceed f.
The maximum value of the subsequence is given on the basis of two cases below:
- The subsequence with distinct elements must have an element with maximum frequency. Therefore, the minimum of (d, f – 1) is the possible length of a subsequence with the given property.
- If the length of a subsequence with a distinct element is greater than maximum frequency, then, the minimum of (d – 1, f) is the possible length of a subsequence with the given property.
The maximum value in the above two cases is the maximum length of a subsequence with the given property.

Below is the implementation of the above approach:

C++

// C++ program for the above approach
 
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Function to find the maximum length
// of subsequences with given property
int maximumSubsequence(int arr[], int N)
{
    // To store the frequency
    unordered_map<int, int> M;
 
    // Traverse the array to store the
    // frequency
    for (int i = 0; i < N; i++) {
        M[arr[i]]++;
    }
 
    // M.size() given count of distinct
    // element in arr[]
    int distinct_size = M.size();
    int maxFreq = 1;
 
    // Traverse map to find max frequency
    for (auto& it : M) {
 
        maxFreq = max(maxFreq, it.second);
    }
 
    // Find the maximum length on the basis
    // of two cases in the approach
 
    cout << max(min(distinct_size, maxFreq - 1),
                min(distinct_size - 1, maxFreq));
}
 
// Driver Code
int main()
{
    int arr[] = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 5 };

    // Function call
    maximumSubsequence(arr, N);
    return 0;
}

            Integer> M = new HashMap<Integer,
                                     Integer>();
 
    // Traverse the array to store the
    // frequency
    for(int i = 0; i < N; i++)
    {
        if(M.containsKey(arr[i]))
        {
            M.put(arr[i], M.get(arr[i]) + 1);
        }
        else
        {
            M.put(arr[i], 1);
        }
    }
 
    // M.size() given count of distinct
    // element in arr[]
    int distinct_size = M.size();
    int maxFreq = 1;
 
    // Traverse map to find max frequency
    for(Map.Entry<Integer, Integer> it : M.entrySet())
    {
        maxFreq = Math.max(maxFreq, it.getValue());
    }
 
    // Find the maximum length on the basis
    // of two cases in the approach
 
    System.out.print(Math.max(
        Math.min(distinct_size, maxFreq - 1),
        Math.min(distinct_size - 1, maxFreq)));
