Check if Array Contains All Elements Of Some Given Range
Objective: Given an array of unsorted numbers, check if it contains all elements of some given range.
Examples:
int[] arrA = { 11, 17, 13, 19, 15, 16, 12, 14 }; Range : 12-15 Output: True
Approach:
Naive Approach: Sorting . Time Complexity - O(nlogn).
Better Approach: Time Complexity - O(n).
- Find the range = y-x;
- Do the linear scan of array.
- Check if element falls within the range of x and y, (arrA[i]>=x && arrA[i]<=y)
- If Yes then calculate z = arrA[i]-x;
- Make the arrA[z] element as negative.
- Once the linear scan is done, just check all the elements in arrA[] from 0 to range are negative, if yes them array contains all the numbers of the given range, return true, else false.
- See the Picture below for better explanation
