Sum of all ordered pair-products from a given array

Difficulty Level : Easy
Last Updated : 07 May, 2021

Given an array arr[] of size N, the task is to find the sum of all products of ordered pairs that can be generated from the given array elements.
Examples:

Input: arr[] ={1, 2, 3}
Output: 36
Explanation:All possible pairs are {(1, 1), {1, 2}, {1, 3}, {2, 1}, {2, 2}, {2, 3}, {3, 1}, {3, 2}, {3, 3}}. Therefore, the sum of product of all pairs is 36.

Input : arr[]={3, 4, 1, 2, 5}
Output: 225

Naive Approach: The simplest approach is to iterate through all possible pairs from the given array calculate the sum of product of all pair-products.

Time Complexity: O(N²)
Auxiliary Space: O(1)

Efficient Approach: The above approach can be optimized based on the following observations:

arr[]={a₁, a₂, a₃, a₄….., a_n-1, a_n}
Now, sum of product of all possible pairs is =
{
(a_{1 *}a₁) + (a_{1 *} a₂) + (a_{1 *} a₃) + …..+ (a_{1 *} a_n-1) + (a₁, a_n) +
(a_{2 *}a₁) + (a_{2 *} a₂) + (a_{2 *} a₃) + ….. + (a_{2 *} a_n-1) + (a_{2 *} a_n) +
(a_{3 *}a₁) + (a_{3 *} a₂) + (a_{3 *} a₃) + ….. + (a_{3 *} a_n-1) + (a₃, a_n) +
…………………………………………………………………………..
(a_{n, *}a₁) + (a_{n *} a₂), +(a_{n *} a₃) + ….. + (a_{n *} a_n-1) + (a_n, a_n)
}
={
(a₁ + a₂+ a₃+ …..+ a_n-1+ a_n) _*(a₁ + a₂+ a₃+ …..+ a_n-1+ a_n)
}
=(a₁ + a₂+ a₃+ …..+ a_n-1+ a_n)²

Follow the steps below to solve the problem:

Initialize the variable, res=0 to store the sum of array elements
Traverse the array, arr[] and add each element of the array to res.
Finally, print the square of the res as the required answer.

Below is the implementation of the above approach:

C++

// C++ program to implement
// the above approach
 
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Function to calculate the
// sum of all pair-products
int sumOfProd(int arr[], int N)
{
    // Stores sum of array
    int sum = 0;
 
    for (int i = 0; i < N; i++) {
 
        // Update sum of the array
        sum += arr[i];
    }
 
    return sum * sum;
}
 
// Driver Code
int main()
{
    int arr[] = { 2, 3, 1, 5, 4 };
    int N = sizeof(arr) / sizeof(arr[0]);
    cout << sumOfProd(arr, N);
    return 0;
}

Java

// Java program to implement
// the above approach
import java.util.*;
 
class GFG{
 
// Function to calculate the
// sum of all pair-products
static int sumOfProd(int arr[], int N)
{
     
    // Stores sum of array
    int sum = 0;
 
    for(int i = 0; i < N; i++)
    {
         
        // Update sum of the array
        sum += arr[i];
    }
    return sum * sum;
}
 
// Driver code
public static void main(String[] args)
{
    int arr[] = { 2, 3, 1, 5, 4 };
    int N = arr.length;
     
    System.out.print(sumOfProd(arr, N));
}
}
