Symmetric Elements in an Array in C++

Here, in this page we will discuss the program to find all symmetric elements in an array in C++ programming language. We are given with pairs and need to print those pairs which are symmetric.

Symmetric elements in an array
While loop in C

Method Discussed :

  • Method 1 : Using Naive Approach
  • Method 2 : Using Hash-Map

Let’s Discuss both methods one by one,

Method 1 :

  • Declare a 2D array for pairs.
  • Run a outer loop from index  0 to 5
  • Run an inner loop from index i+1 to 5
  • Check if(arr[i][0]==arr[j][1] && arr[i][1]==arr[j][0])), then print the arr[i][0] and arr[i][1].

Time and Space Complexity :

  • Time Complexity : O(n2)
  • Space Complexity : O(1)

Method 1 : Code in C++

Run 
#include<bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;

int main ()
{
  int arr[5][2];
  arr[0][0] = 1;
  arr[0][1] = 2;
  arr[1][0] = 3;
  arr[1][1] = 4;
  arr[2][0] = 5;
  arr[2][1] = 1;
  arr[3][0] = 4;
  arr[3][1] = 3;
  arr[4][0] = 1;
  arr[4][1] = 5;

  for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++){
    for (int j = i + 1; j < 5; j++){
	  if (arr[i][0] == arr[j][1] && arr[i][1] == arr[j][0])
	    cout << "(" << arr[i][0] << ", " << arr[i][1] << ") ";
    }
  }

  return 0;

}

Output

(3, 4) (5, 1)

Finding Maximum scalar product of two vectors in an array

Counting the number of even and odd elements in an array

Find maximum product sub-array in a given array

Finding Arrays are disjoint or not

Determine Array is a subset of another array or not

Method 2 :

In this method we will use the map to find the symmetric pairs.

  • Declare an unordered_map<int, int>mp.
  • Run a loop from 0 to 5,
  • Declare two variables first = arr[i][0], second = arr[i][1].
  • Check if(mp.find(sec) != mp.end() and mp[sec] == first ), then print sec and first.

Time and Space Complexity :

  • Time Complexity : O(n)
  • Space Complexity : O(n)

Method 2 : Code in C++

Run 
#include<bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;

int main ()
{
  int arr[5][2];
  arr[0][0] = 1;
  arr[0][1] = 2;
  arr[1][0] = 3;
  arr[1][1] = 4;
  arr[2][0] = 5;
  arr[2][1] = 1;
  arr[3][0] = 4;
  arr[3][1] = 3;
  arr[4][0] = 1;
  arr[4][1] = 5;

  unordered_map < int, int >mp;

  // Traverse through the given array
  for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++){
    int first = arr[i][0];
    int sec = arr[i][1];

    if (mp.find (sec) != mp.end () && mp[sec] == first)
	    cout << "(" << sec << ", " << first << ") ";

    else			// Else put sec element of this pair in hash
	mp[first] = sec;
  }

  return 0;

}

Output

(3, 4) (5, 4)
