In below code I'm trying to add integers at last in array if array elements matches with specific key let's say k=1 in my case. But I'm not able to figure out how to iterate array after adding elements at last in array to check if any element can be shifted to last of the array.
Also,I don't want to use any java collection.Please help me in this regard.
int[] a=new int[8];
int key=1;
int temp,c=0;
a[0]=1;a[1]=1;a[2]=2;a[3]=1;
a[4]=1;a[5]=1;a[6]=3;a[7]=4;
int l=a.length;
for(int i=0;i<l;i++) {
c=i;
if(a[i]==key) {
temp=a[i];
while(c<l-1) {
a[c]=a[c+1];
c++;
}
a[l-1]=temp;
}
}
As we can see, in above code key=1 matches with elements present at index(i=0,1,3,4,5) and I am putting elements at last and shifting all other elements to previous index but problem is that after shifting, again I need to check if array has any element which is still matching with key(k=1) and need to put at last of the array. Hope I could clear my problem.
this outputs- 12134111
but desired output is 23411111.
Meaning all elements which matches with key=1, should be put at last.
You can a little bit modify your algorithm according to this:
import java.util.Arrays;
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
int[] a = new int[8];
int key = 1;
a[0] = 1;
a[1] = 1;
a[2] = 2;
a[3] = 1;
a[4] = 1;
a[5] = 1;
a[6] = 3;
a[7] = 4;
for (int i = 0; i < a.length; i++) {
if (a[i] != key) {
continue;
}
//find next element which doesn't equal to key and swap
for (int j = i; j < a.length; j++) {
if (a[j] != a[i]) {
int t = a[i];
a[i] = a[j];
a[j] = t;
break;
}
}
}
System.out.println(Arrays.toString(a));
}
}
Output: [2, 3, 4, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1]
public static void main(String args[])
{
int a[]={1,1,2,1,1,1,3,3};
int k=1,n=a.length-1;
for(int i=0;i<a.length;i++)
{
if(a[i]==k)
{
int temp=a[i];
for (int j=i;j<n-1;j++)
{
a[j]=a[j+1];
}
a[n]=temp;
}
}
}
Hello I am having difficulty implementing a counting sort method in java. I believe the problem comes from the last two loops I have in the method. I am getting an ArrayIndexOutOfBounds exception : 8. I believe this comes from my second to last for loop when at index 5 the value is 8 but I am not sure how to resolve this. Any help is appreciated. Thank you!
In my code k is the highest value in the input array.
Code:
public static void main(String[] args) {
int [] arrayOne = {0,1,1,3,4,5,3,0};
int [] output = Arrays.copyOf(arrayOne, arrayOne.length);
System.out.println(Arrays.toString(arrayOne));
countingSort(arrayOne, output, 5);
System.out.println(Arrays.toString(output));
}
public static void countingSort(int[] input, int[] output , int k){
int [] temp = Arrays.copyOf(input, k+1);
for (int i = 0; i <= k; i++){
temp[i] = 0;
}
for (int j = 0; j <= input.length - 1; j++){
temp[input[j]] = temp[input[j]] + 1;
}
for (int i = 1; i <= k; i++){
temp[i] = temp[i] + temp[i-1];
}
for (int j = input.length; j >= 1; j--){
output[temp[input[j]]] = input[j];
temp[input[j]] = temp[input[j]] - 1;
}
}
The problem is in the first loop because the array temp lenght is 6 and you are doing 7 interations in there.
So at the end of the for it is trying to do temp[6]=0 and the last position of your array is temp[5].
To fix this change your first loop to:
for (int i = 0; i < k; i++){
In the last loop you will get the same exception cause input[8] doesn't exist.
import java.util.Arrays;
public class CountingSort {
public static void main(String[] args) {
int[] input = {0,1,1,3,4,5,3,0};
int[] output = new int[input.length];
int k = 5; // k is the largest number in the input array
System.out.println("before sorting:");
System.out.println(Arrays.toString(input));
output = countingSort(input, output, k);
System.out.println("after sorting:");
System.out.println(Arrays.toString(output));
}
public static int[] countingSort(int[] input, int[] output, int k) {
int counter[] = new int[k + 1];
for (int i : input) { counter[i]++; }
int ndx = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < counter.length; i++) {
while (0 < counter[i]) {
output[ndx++] = i;
counter[i]--;
}
}
return output;
}
}
Above code is adapted from: http://www.java67.com/2017/06/counting-sort-in-java-example.html
this may help but try using the Arraya.sort() method.
e.g:
//A Java program to sort an array of integers in ascending order.
// A sample Java program to sort an array of integers
// using Arrays.sort(). It by default sorts in
// ascending order
import java.util.Arrays;
public class SortExample
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
// Our arr contains 8 elements
int[] arr = {13, 7, 6, 45, 21, 9, 101, 102};
Arrays.sort(arr);
System.out.printf("Modified arr[] : %s",
Arrays.toString(arr));
}
}
example is a snippet from https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/arrays-sort-in-java-with-examples/
As per algorithm following implementation, I have prepared for the count sort technique
public static int[] countSort(int elements[]) {
int[] sorted = new int[elements.length+1];
int[] range = new int[getMax(elements)+1];
for(int i=0;i<range.length;i++) {
range[i] = getCount(i, elements);
try {
range[i] = range[i]+range[i-1];
}catch(ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException ae) {
continue;
}
}
for(int i=0;i<elements.length;i++) {
sorted[range[elements[i]]] = elements[i];
range[elements[i]] = range[elements[i]]-1;
}
return sorted;
}
public static int getCount(int value,int[] elements) {
int count = 0;
for(int element:elements) {
if(element==value) count++;
}
return count;
}
public static int getMax(int elements[]) {
int max = elements[0];
for(int i=0;i<elements.length;i++) {
if(max<elements[i]) {
max = elements[i];
}
}
return max;
}
Please review and let me know if any feedback and it is more helpful.
Note :
Non-negative no won't support in the above implementation.
don't use 0th index of the sorted array.
I was asked to write my own implementation to remove duplicated values in an array. Here is what I have created. But after tests with 1,000,000 elements it took very long time to finish. Is there something that I can do to improve my algorithm or any bugs to remove ?
I need to write my own implementation - not to use Set, HashSet etc. Or any other tools such as iterators. Simply an array to remove duplicates.
public static int[] removeDuplicates(int[] arr) {
int end = arr.length;
for (int i = 0; i < end; i++) {
for (int j = i + 1; j < end; j++) {
if (arr[i] == arr[j]) {
int shiftLeft = j;
for (int k = j+1; k < end; k++, shiftLeft++) {
arr[shiftLeft] = arr[k];
}
end--;
j--;
}
}
}
int[] whitelist = new int[end];
for(int i = 0; i < end; i++){
whitelist[i] = arr[i];
}
return whitelist;
}
you can take the help of Set collection
int end = arr.length;
Set<Integer> set = new HashSet<Integer>();
for(int i = 0; i < end; i++){
set.add(arr[i]);
}
now if you will iterate through this set, it will contain only unique values. Iterating code is like this :
Iterator it = set.iterator();
while(it.hasNext()) {
System.out.println(it.next());
}
If you are allowed to use Java 8 streams:
Arrays.stream(arr).distinct().toArray();
Note: I am assuming the array is sorted.
Code:
int[] input = new int[]{1, 1, 3, 7, 7, 8, 9, 9, 9, 10};
int current = input[0];
boolean found = false;
for (int i = 0; i < input.length; i++) {
if (current == input[i] && !found) {
found = true;
} else if (current != input[i]) {
System.out.print(" " + current);
current = input[i];
found = false;
}
}
System.out.print(" " + current);
output:
1 3 7 8 9 10
Slight modification to the original code itself, by removing the innermost for loop.
public static int[] removeDuplicates(int[] arr){
int end = arr.length;
for (int i = 0; i < end; i++) {
for (int j = i + 1; j < end; j++) {
if (arr[i] == arr[j]) {
/*int shiftLeft = j;
for (int k = j+1; k < end; k++, shiftLeft++) {
arr[shiftLeft] = arr[k];
}*/
arr[j] = arr[end-1];
end--;
j--;
}
}
}
int[] whitelist = new int[end];
/*for(int i = 0; i < end; i++){
whitelist[i] = arr[i];
}*/
System.arraycopy(arr, 0, whitelist, 0, end);
return whitelist;
}
There exists many solution of this problem.
The sort approach
You sort your array and resolve only unique items
The set approach
You declare a HashSet where you put all item then you have only unique ones.
You create a boolean array that represent the items all ready returned, (this depend on your data in the array).
If you deal with large amount of data i would pick the 1. solution. As you do not allocate additional memory and sorting is quite fast. For small set of data the complexity would be n^2 but for large i will be n log n.
Since you can assume the range is between 0-1000 there is a very simple and efficient solution
//Throws an exception if values are not in the range of 0-1000
public static int[] removeDuplicates(int[] arr) {
boolean[] set = new boolean[1001]; //values must default to false
int totalItems = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < arr.length; ++i) {
if (!set[arr[i]]) {
set[arr[i]] = true;
totalItems++;
}
}
int[] ret = new int[totalItems];
int c = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < set.length; ++i) {
if (set[i]) {
ret[c++] = i;
}
}
return ret;
}
This runs in linear time O(n). Caveat: the returned array is sorted so if that is illegal then this answer is invalid.

Since this question is still getting a lot of attention, I decided to answer it by copying this answer from Code Review.SE:
You're following the same philosophy as the bubble sort, which is
very, very, very slow. Have you tried this?:
Sort your unordered array with quicksort. Quicksort is much faster
than bubble sort (I know, you are not sorting, but the algorithm you
follow is almost the same as bubble sort to traverse the array).
Then start removing duplicates (repeated values will be next to each
other). In a for loop you could have two indices: source and
destination. (On each loop you copy source to destination unless they
are the same, and increment both by 1). Every time you find a
duplicate you increment source (and don't perform the copy).

**This is the most simplest way**
What if you create two boolean arrays: 1 for negative values and 1 for positive values and init it all on false.
Then you cycle thorugh the input array and lookup in the arrays if you've encoutered the value already.
If not, you add it to the output array and mark it as already used.

I have just written the above code for trying out. thanks.

Runs in O(N) time instead of your O(N^3) time
Not a big fun of updating user input, however considering your constraints...
public int[] removeDup(int[] nums) {
Arrays.sort(nums);
int x = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < nums.length; i++) {
if (i == 0 || nums[i] != nums[i - 1]) {
nums[x++] = nums[i];
}
}
return Arrays.copyOf(nums, x);
}
Array sort can be easily replaced with any nlog(n) algorithm.
This is simple way to sort the elements in the array
public class DublicatesRemove {
public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception {
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
System.out.println("enter size of the array");
int l = Integer.parseInt(br.readLine());
int[] a = new int[l];
// insert elements in the array logic
for (int i = 0; i < l; i++)
{
System.out.println("enter a element");
int el = Integer.parseInt(br.readLine());
a[i] = el;
}
// sorting elements in the array logic
for (int i = 0; i < l; i++)
{
for (int j = 0; j < l - 1; j++)
{
if (a[j] > a[j + 1])
{
int temp = a[j];
a[j] = a[j + 1];
a[j + 1] = temp;
}
}
}
// remove duplicate elements logic
int b = 0;
a[b] = a[0];
for (int i = 1; i < l; i++)
{
if (a[b] != a[i])
{
b++;
a[b]=a[i];
}
}
for(int i=0;i<=b;i++)
{
System.out.println(a[i]);
}
}
}
Okay, so you cannot use Set or other collections. One solution I don't see here so far is one based on the use of a Bloom filter, which essentially is an array of bits, so perhaps that passes your requirements.
The Bloom filter is a lovely and very handy technique, fast and space-efficient, that can be used to do a quick check of the existence of an element in a set without storing the set itself or the elements. It has a (typically small) false positive rate, but no false negative rate. In other words, for your question, if a Bloom filter tells you that an element hasn't been seen so far, you can be sure it hasn't. But if it says that an element has been seen, you actually need to check. This still saves a lot of time if there aren't too many duplicates in your list (for those, there is no looping to do, except in the small probability case of a false positive --you typically chose this rate based on how much space you are willing to give to the Bloom filter (rule of thumb: less than 10 bits per unique element for a false positive rate of 1%).
There are many implementations of Bloom filters, see e.g. here or here, so I won't repeat that in this answer. Let us just assume the api described in that last reference, in particular, the description of put(E e):
true if the Bloom filter's bits changed as a result of this operation. If the bits changed, this is definitely the first time object has been added to the filter. If the bits haven't changed, this might be the first time object has been added to the filter. (...)
An implementation using such a Bloom filter would then be:
public static int[] removeDuplicates(int[] arr) {
ArrayList<Integer> out = new ArrayList<>();
int n = arr.length;
BloomFilter<Integer> bf = new BloomFilter<>(...); // decide how many bits and how many hash functions to use (compromise between space and false positive rate)
for (int e : arr) {
boolean might_contain = !bf.put(e);
boolean found = false;
if (might_contain) {
// check if false positive
for (int u : out) {
if (u == e) {
found = true;
break;
}
}
}
if (!found) {
out.add(e);
}
}
return out.stream().mapToInt(i -> i).toArray();
}
Obviously, if you can alter the incoming array in place, then there is no need for an ArrayList: at the end, when you know the actual number of unique elements, just arraycopy() those.
For a sorted Array, just check the next index:
//sorted data!
public static int[] distinct(int[] arr) {
int[] temp = new int[arr.length];
int count = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) {
int current = arr[i];
if(count > 0 )
if(temp[count - 1] == current)
continue;
temp[count] = current;
count++;
}
int[] whitelist = new int[count];
System.arraycopy(temp, 0, whitelist, 0, count);
return whitelist;
}
You need to sort your array then then loop and remove duplicates. As you cannot use other tools you need to write be code yourself.
You can easily find examples of quicksort in Java on the internet (on which this example is based).
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
final int[] original = new int[]{1, 1, 2, 8, 9, 8, 4, 7, 4, 9, 1};
System.out.println(Arrays.toString(original));
quicksort(original);
System.out.println(Arrays.toString(original));
final int[] unqiue = new int[original.length];
int prev = original[0];
unqiue[0] = prev;
int count = 1;
for (int i = 1; i < original.length; ++i) {
if (original[i] != prev) {
unqiue[count++] = original[i];
}
prev = original[i];
}
System.out.println(Arrays.toString(unqiue));
final int[] compressed = new int[count];
System.arraycopy(unqiue, 0, compressed, 0, count);
System.out.println(Arrays.toString(compressed));
}
private static void quicksort(final int[] values) {
if (values.length == 0) {
return;
}
quicksort(values, 0, values.length - 1);
}
private static void quicksort(final int[] values, final int low, final int high) {
int i = low, j = high;
int pivot = values[low + (high - low) / 2];
while (i <= j) {
while (values[i] < pivot) {
i++;
}
while (values[j] > pivot) {
j--;
}
if (i <= j) {
swap(values, i, j);
i++;
j--;
}
}
if (low < j) {
quicksort(values, low, j);
}
if (i < high) {
quicksort(values, i, high);
}
}
private static void swap(final int[] values, final int i, final int j) {
final int temp = values[i];
values[i] = values[j];
values[j] = temp;
}
So the process runs in 3 steps.
Sort the array - O(nlgn)
Remove duplicates - O(n)
Compact the array - O(n)
So this improves significantly on your O(n^3) approach.
Output:
[1, 1, 2, 8, 9, 8, 4, 7, 4, 9, 1]
[1, 1, 1, 2, 4, 4, 7, 8, 8, 9, 9]
[1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 9, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0]
[1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 9]
EDIT
OP states values inside array doesn't matter really. But I can assume that range is between 0-1000. This is a classic case where an O(n) sort can be used.
We create an array of size range +1, in this case 1001. We then loop over the data and increment the values on each index corresponding to the datapoint.
We can then compact the resulting array, dropping values the have not been incremented. This makes the values unique as we ignore the count.
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
final int[] original = new int[]{1, 1, 2, 8, 9, 8, 4, 7, 4, 9, 1, 1000, 1000};

}

Output:

I know this is kinda dead but I just wrote this for my own use. It's more or less the same as adding to a hashset and then pulling all the elements out of it. It should run in O(nlogn) worst case.
public static int[] removeDuplicates(int[] numbers) {
Entry[] entries = new Entry[numbers.length];
int size = 0;
for (int i = 0 ; i < numbers.length ; i++) {
int nextVal = numbers[i];
int index = nextVal % entries.length;
Entry e = entries[index];
if (e == null) {
entries[index] = new Entry(nextVal);
size++;
} else {
if(e.insert(nextVal)) {
size++;
}
}
}
int[] result = new int[size];
int index = 0;
for (int i = 0 ; i < entries.length ; i++) {
Entry current = entries[i];
while (current != null) {
result[i++] = current.value;
current = current.next;
}
}
return result;
}
public static class Entry {
int value;
Entry next;
Entry(int value) {
this.value = value;
}
public boolean insert(int newVal) {
Entry current = this;
Entry prev = null;
while (current != null) {
if (current.value == newVal) {
return false;
} else if(current.next != null) {
prev = current;
current = next;
}
}
prev.next = new Entry(value);
return true;
}
}
int tempvar=0; //Variable for the final array without any duplicates
int whilecount=0; //variable for while loop
while(whilecount<(nsprtable*2)-1) //nsprtable can be any number
{
//to check whether the next value is idential in case of sorted array
if(temparray[whilecount]!=temparray[whilecount+1])
{
finalarray[tempvar]=temparray[whilecount];
tempvar++;
whilecount=whilecount+1;
}
else if (temparray[whilecount]==temparray[whilecount+1])
{
finalarray[tempvar]=temparray[whilecount];
tempvar++;
whilecount=whilecount+2;
}
}
Hope this helps or solves the purpose.

You can use an auxiliary array (temp) which in indexes are numbers of main array. So the time complexity will be liner and O(n). As we want to do it without using any library, we define another array (unique) to push non-duplicate elements:
var num = [2,4,9,4,1,2,24,12,4];
let temp = [];
let unique = [];
let j = 0;
for (let i = 0; i < num.length; i++){
if (temp[num[i]] !== 1){
temp[num[i]] = 1;
unique[j++] = num[i];
}
}
console.log(unique);
If you are looking to remove duplicates using the same array and also keeping the time complexity of O(n). Then this should do the trick. Also, would only work if the array is sorted.
function removeDuplicates_sorted(arr){
let j = 0;
for(let x = 0; x < arr.length - 1; x++){
if(arr[x] != arr[x + 1]){
arr[j++] = arr[x];
}
}
arr[j++] = arr[arr.length - 1];
arr.length = j;
return arr;
}
Here is for an unsorted array, its O(n) but uses more space complexity then the sorted.
function removeDuplicates_unsorted(arr){
let map = {};
let j = 0;
for(var numbers of arr){
if(!map[numbers]){
map[numbers] = 1;
arr[j++] = numbers;
}
}
arr.length = j;
return arr;
}
Note to other readers who desire to use the Set method of solving this problem: If original ordering must be preserved, do not use HashSet as in the top result. HashSet does not guarantee the preservation of the original order, so LinkedHashSet should be used instead-this keeps track of the order in which the elements were inserted into the set and returns them in that order.
This is an interview question.

I feel Android Killer's idea is great, but I just wondered if we can leverage HashMap. So I did a little experiment. And I found HashMap seems faster than HashSet.
Here is code:
int[] input = new int[1000000];
for (int i = 0; i < input.length; i++) {
Random random = new Random();
input[i] = random.nextInt(200000);
}
long startTime1 = new Date().getTime();
System.out.println("Set start time:" + startTime1);
Set<Integer> resultSet = new HashSet<Integer>();
for (int i = 0; i < input.length; i++) {
resultSet.add(input[i]);
}
long endTime1 = new Date().getTime();
System.out.println("Set end time:"+ endTime1);
System.out.println("result of set:" + (endTime1 - startTime1));
System.out.println("number of Set:" + resultSet.size() + "\n");
long startTime2 = new Date().getTime();
System.out.println("Map start time:" + startTime1);
Map<Integer, Integer> resultMap = new HashMap<Integer, Integer>();
for (int i = 0; i < input.length; i++) {
if (!resultMap.containsKey(input[i]))
resultMap.put(input[i], input[i]);
}
long endTime2 = new Date().getTime();
System.out.println("Map end Time:" + endTime2);
System.out.println("result of Map:" + (endTime2 - startTime2));
System.out.println("number of Map:" + resultMap.size());
Here is result:
Set start time:1441960583837
Set end time:1441960583917
result of set:80
number of Set:198652
Map start time:1441960583837
Map end Time:1441960583983
result of Map:66
number of Map:198652
This is not using Set, Map, List or any extra collection, only two arrays:
package arrays.duplicates;
import java.lang.reflect.Array;
import java.util.Arrays;
public class ArrayDuplicatesRemover<T> {
public static <T> T[] removeDuplicates(T[] input, Class<T> clazz) {
T[] output = (T[]) Array.newInstance(clazz, 0);
for (T t : input) {
if (!inArray(t, output)) {
output = Arrays.copyOf(output, output.length + 1);
output[output.length - 1] = t;
}
}
return output;
}
private static <T> boolean inArray(T search, T[] array) {
for (T element : array) {
if (element.equals(search)) {
return true;
}
}
return false;
}
}
And the main to test it
package arrays.duplicates;
import java.util.Arrays;
public class TestArrayDuplicates {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Integer[] array = {1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 3, 4};
testArrayDuplicatesRemover(array);
}
private static void testArrayDuplicatesRemover(Integer[] array) {
final Integer[] expectedResult = {1, 2, 3, 4};
Integer[] arrayWithoutDuplicates = ArrayDuplicatesRemover.removeDuplicates(array, Integer.class);
System.out.println("Array without duplicates is supposed to be: " + Arrays.toString(expectedResult));
System.out.println("Array without duplicates currently is: " + Arrays.toString(arrayWithoutDuplicates));
System.out.println("Is test passed ok?: " + (Arrays.equals(arrayWithoutDuplicates, expectedResult) ? "YES" : "NO"));
}
}
And the output:
Array without duplicates is supposed to be: [1, 2, 3, 4]
Array without duplicates currently is: [1, 2, 3, 4]
Is test passed ok?: YES
Following is the problem-
Given an array of integers as input, return an array that contains the same numbers as that in the input array, but rearranged so that all the even numbers are in front and the odds numbers are at the back. Note that the order of the even numbers and odd numbers should be maintained i.e. if an even number n1 that appears before an even number n2 in the input, then in the output array n1 should appear before n2. The same is true for odd numbers. Also note that in this problem you should not create any new array.
What is done so far is as follows but I am unable to get the expected output.
public class MoveEvenToFront {
static int[] testcase1 = {3, 5, 4, 6, 8, 9, 7, 10};
public static void main(String[] args) {
MoveEvenToFront testInstance = new MoveEvenToFront();
int[] result = testInstance.moveEvenToFront(testcase1);
System.out.print("{");
for (int i = 0; i < result.length; i++) {
if (i > 0) {
System.out.print(",");
}
System.out.print(result[i]);
}
System.out.print("}");
}
public int[] moveEvenToFront(int[] arr) {
int temp = 0;
for (int i = 1; i < arr.length; i++) {
if (arr[i - 1] % 2 != 0) {
temp = arr[i - 1];
arr[i - 1] = arr[i];
arr[i] = temp;
}
}
return arr;
}
}
The expected output for testcase {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,10,12} is {2,4,6,8,10,12,1,3,5,7}.
Your algorithm is wrong. You are checking if arr[i-1] is not even and swapping it with arr[i]. If arr[i] is also odd, then you are not checking for it, and it moves to the front even when it is odd.
What you could do is
find the first even number in the array and swap it with first index and increment the index.
then find the second even number and swap it with second index, continue until end of array.
change the method as shown below:
public int[] moveEvenToFront(int[] arr){
int temp=0;
int a=0;
for(int i=0;i<arr.length;i++){
if(arr[i]%2==0){
for (int j=i;j>a;j--){
temp=arr[j-1];
arr[j-1]=arr[j];
arr[j]=temp;
}
a++;
}
}
return arr;
}
Try it straight forward:
public static Integer[] NUMBERS = {3,5,4,6,8,9,7,10};
public static void main(String[] args) {
ArrayList<Integer> ints = new ArrayList<>(Arrays.asList(NUMBERS));
int nextIdx = 0;
for (int idx = 0; idx < ints.size(); idx++) {
if (ints.get(idx) % 2 == 0) ints.add(nextIdx++, ints.remove(idx));
}
System.out.println(ints);
}
OUTPUT:
[4, 6, 8, 10, 3, 5, 9, 7]
public void moveEvenToFront(){
int temp=0;
for(int i=0;i<values.length;i++){
for(int j=i;j<values.length;j++){
if(values[j]%2==0){
temp = values[i];
values[i] = values[j];
values[j] = temp;
}
}
}
after creating values[], the key point of solving this is identifying where there is an even number and switching with values[0]. and increase by 1 so that the even numbers don't disappear. Hope this helps.
I was asked to write my own implementation to remove duplicated values in an array. Here is what I have created. But after tests with 1,000,000 elements it took very long time to finish. Is there something that I can do to improve my algorithm or any bugs to remove ?
I need to write my own implementation - not to use Set, HashSet etc. Or any other tools such as iterators. Simply an array to remove duplicates.
public static int[] removeDuplicates(int[] arr) {
int end = arr.length;
for (int i = 0; i < end; i++) {
for (int j = i + 1; j < end; j++) {
if (arr[i] == arr[j]) {
int shiftLeft = j;
for (int k = j+1; k < end; k++, shiftLeft++) {
arr[shiftLeft] = arr[k];
}
end--;
j--;
}
}
}
int[] whitelist = new int[end];
for(int i = 0; i < end; i++){
whitelist[i] = arr[i];
}
return whitelist;
}
you can take the help of Set collection
int end = arr.length;
Set<Integer> set = new HashSet<Integer>();
for(int i = 0; i < end; i++){
set.add(arr[i]);
}
now if you will iterate through this set, it will contain only unique values. Iterating code is like this :
Iterator it = set.iterator();
while(it.hasNext()) {
System.out.println(it.next());
}
If you are allowed to use Java 8 streams:
Arrays.stream(arr).distinct().toArray();
Note: I am assuming the array is sorted.
Code:
int[] input = new int[]{1, 1, 3, 7, 7, 8, 9, 9, 9, 10};
int current = input[0];
boolean found = false;
for (int i = 0; i < input.length; i++) {
if (current == input[i] && !found) {
found = true;
} else if (current != input[i]) {
System.out.print(" " + current);
current = input[i];
found = false;
}
}
System.out.print(" " + current);
output:
1 3 7 8 9 10
Slight modification to the original code itself, by removing the innermost for loop.
public static int[] removeDuplicates(int[] arr){
int end = arr.length;
for (int i = 0; i < end; i++) {
for (int j = i + 1; j < end; j++) {
if (arr[i] == arr[j]) {
/*int shiftLeft = j;
for (int k = j+1; k < end; k++, shiftLeft++) {
arr[shiftLeft] = arr[k];
}*/
arr[j] = arr[end-1];
end--;
j--;
}
}
}
int[] whitelist = new int[end];
/*for(int i = 0; i < end; i++){
whitelist[i] = arr[i];
}*/
System.arraycopy(arr, 0, whitelist, 0, end);
return whitelist;
}
There exists many solution of this problem.
The sort approach
You sort your array and resolve only unique items
The set approach
You declare a HashSet where you put all item then you have only unique ones.
You create a boolean array that represent the items all ready returned, (this depend on your data in the array).
If you deal with large amount of data i would pick the 1. solution. As you do not allocate additional memory and sorting is quite fast. For small set of data the complexity would be n^2 but for large i will be n log n.
Since you can assume the range is between 0-1000 there is a very simple and efficient solution
//Throws an exception if values are not in the range of 0-1000
public static int[] removeDuplicates(int[] arr) {
boolean[] set = new boolean[1001]; //values must default to false
int totalItems = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < arr.length; ++i) {
if (!set[arr[i]]) {
set[arr[i]] = true;
totalItems++;
}
}
int[] ret = new int[totalItems];
int c = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < set.length; ++i) {
if (set[i]) {
ret[c++] = i;
}
}
return ret;
}
This runs in linear time O(n). Caveat: the returned array is sorted so if that is illegal then this answer is invalid.

Since this question is still getting a lot of attention, I decided to answer it by copying this answer from Code Review.SE:
You're following the same philosophy as the bubble sort, which is
very, very, very slow. Have you tried this?:
Sort your unordered array with quicksort. Quicksort is much faster
than bubble sort (I know, you are not sorting, but the algorithm you
follow is almost the same as bubble sort to traverse the array).
Then start removing duplicates (repeated values will be next to each
other). In a for loop you could have two indices: source and
destination. (On each loop you copy source to destination unless they
are the same, and increment both by 1). Every time you find a
duplicate you increment source (and don't perform the copy).

**This is the most simplest way**
What if you create two boolean arrays: 1 for negative values and 1 for positive values and init it all on false.
Then you cycle thorugh the input array and lookup in the arrays if you've encoutered the value already.
If not, you add it to the output array and mark it as already used.

Not a big fun of updating user input, however considering your constraints...

Okay, so you cannot use Set or other collections. One solution I don't see here so far is one based on the use of a Bloom filter, which essentially is an array of bits, so perhaps that passes your requirements.
The Bloom filter is a lovely and very handy technique, fast and space-efficient, that can be used to do a quick check of the existence of an element in a set without storing the set itself or the elements. It has a (typically small) false positive rate, but no false negative rate. In other words, for your question, if a Bloom filter tells you that an element hasn't been seen so far, you can be sure it hasn't. But if it says that an element has been seen, you actually need to check. This still saves a lot of time if there aren't too many duplicates in your list (for those, there is no looping to do, except in the small probability case of a false positive --you typically chose this rate based on how much space you are willing to give to the Bloom filter (rule of thumb: less than 10 bits per unique element for a false positive rate of 1%).
There are many implementations of Bloom filters, see e.g. here or here, so I won't repeat that in this answer. Let us just assume the api described in that last reference, in particular, the description of put(E e):
true if the Bloom filter's bits changed as a result of this operation. If the bits changed, this is definitely the first time object has been added to the filter. If the bits haven't changed, this might be the first time object has been added to the filter. (...)
An implementation using such a Bloom filter would then be:
public static int[] removeDuplicates(int[] arr) {
ArrayList<Integer> out = new ArrayList<>();
int n = arr.length;
BloomFilter<Integer> bf = new BloomFilter<>(...); // decide how many bits and how many hash functions to use (compromise between space and false positive rate)
for (int e : arr) {
boolean might_contain = !bf.put(e);
boolean found = false;
if (might_contain) {
// check if false positive
for (int u : out) {
if (u == e) {
found = true;
break;
}
}
}
if (!found) {
out.add(e);
}
}
return out.stream().mapToInt(i -> i).toArray();
}
Obviously, if you can alter the incoming array in place, then there is no need for an ArrayList: at the end, when you know the actual number of unique elements, just arraycopy() those.
For a sorted Array, just check the next index:
//sorted data!
public static int[] distinct(int[] arr) {
int[] temp = new int[arr.length];
int count = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) {
int current = arr[i];
if(count > 0 )
if(temp[count - 1] == current)
continue;
temp[count] = current;
count++;
}
int[] whitelist = new int[count];
System.arraycopy(temp, 0, whitelist, 0, count);
return whitelist;
}
You need to sort your array then then loop and remove duplicates. As you cannot use other tools you need to write be code yourself.
You can easily find examples of quicksort in Java on the internet (on which this example is based).
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
final int[] original = new int[]{1, 1, 2, 8, 9, 8, 4, 7, 4, 9, 1};
System.out.println(Arrays.toString(original));
quicksort(original);
System.out.println(Arrays.toString(original));
final int[] unqiue = new int[original.length];
int prev = original[0];
unqiue[0] = prev;
int count = 1;
for (int i = 1; i < original.length; ++i) {
if (original[i] != prev) {
unqiue[count++] = original[i];
}
prev = original[i];
}
System.out.println(Arrays.toString(unqiue));
final int[] compressed = new int[count];
System.arraycopy(unqiue, 0, compressed, 0, count);
System.out.println(Arrays.toString(compressed));
}
private static void quicksort(final int[] values) {
if (values.length == 0) {
return;
}
quicksort(values, 0, values.length - 1);
}
private static void quicksort(final int[] values, final int low, final int high) {
int i = low, j = high;
int pivot = values[low + (high - low) / 2];
while (i <= j) {
while (values[i] < pivot) {
i++;
}
while (values[j] > pivot) {
j--;
}
if (i <= j) {
swap(values, i, j);
i++;
j--;
}
}
if (low < j) {
quicksort(values, low, j);
}
if (i < high) {
quicksort(values, i, high);
}
}
private static void swap(final int[] values, final int i, final int j) {
final int temp = values[i];
values[i] = values[j];
values[j] = temp;
}
So the process runs in 3 steps.
Sort the array - O(nlgn)
Remove duplicates - O(n)
Compact the array - O(n)
So this improves significantly on your O(n^3) approach.
Output:
[1, 1, 2, 8, 9, 8, 4, 7, 4, 9, 1]
[1, 1, 1, 2, 4, 4, 7, 8, 8, 9, 9]
[1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 9, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0]
[1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 9]
EDIT
OP states values inside array doesn't matter really. But I can assume that range is between 0-1000. This is a classic case where an O(n) sort can be used.
We create an array of size range +1, in this case 1001. We then loop over the data and increment the values on each index corresponding to the datapoint.
We can then compact the resulting array, dropping values the have not been incremented. This makes the values unique as we ignore the count.
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
final int[] original = new int[]{1, 1, 2, 8, 9, 8, 4, 7, 4, 9, 1, 1000, 1000};
System.out.println(Arrays.toString(original));
final int[] buckets = new int[1001];
for (final int i : original) {
buckets[i]++;
}
final int[] unique = new int[original.length];
int count = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < buckets.length; ++i) {
if (buckets[i] > 0) {
unique[count++] = i;
}
}
final int[] compressed = new int[count];
System.arraycopy(unique, 0, compressed, 0, count);
System.out.println(Arrays.toString(compressed));
}
Output:
[1, 1, 2, 8, 9, 8, 4, 7, 4, 9, 1, 1000, 1000]
[1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 9, 1000]
public static void main(String args[]) {
int[] intarray = {1,2,3,4,5,1,2,3,4,5,1,2,3,4,5};
Set<Integer> set = new HashSet<Integer>();
for(int i : intarray) {
set.add(i);
}
Iterator<Integer> setitr = set.iterator();
for(int pos=0; pos < intarray.length; pos ++) {
if(pos < set.size()) {
intarray[pos] =setitr.next();
} else {
intarray[pos]= 0;
}
}
for(int i: intarray)
System.out.println(i);
}
I know this is kinda dead but I just wrote this for my own use. It's more or less the same as adding to a hashset and then pulling all the elements out of it. It should run in O(nlogn) worst case.
public static int[] removeDuplicates(int[] numbers) {
Entry[] entries = new Entry[numbers.length];
int size = 0;
for (int i = 0 ; i < numbers.length ; i++) {
int nextVal = numbers[i];
int index = nextVal % entries.length;
Entry e = entries[index];
if (e == null) {
entries[index] = new Entry(nextVal);
size++;
} else {
if(e.insert(nextVal)) {
size++;
}
}
}
int[] result = new int[size];
int index = 0;
for (int i = 0 ; i < entries.length ; i++) {
Entry current = entries[i];
while (current != null) {
result[i++] = current.value;
current = current.next;
}
}
return result;
}
public static class Entry {
int value;
Entry next;
Entry(int value) {
this.value = value;
}
public boolean insert(int newVal) {
Entry current = this;
Entry prev = null;
while (current != null) {
if (current.value == newVal) {
return false;
} else if(current.next != null) {
prev = current;
current = next;
}
}
prev.next = new Entry(value);
return true;
}
}
int tempvar=0; //Variable for the final array without any duplicates
int whilecount=0; //variable for while loop
while(whilecount<(nsprtable*2)-1) //nsprtable can be any number
{
//to check whether the next value is idential in case of sorted array
if(temparray[whilecount]!=temparray[whilecount+1])
{
finalarray[tempvar]=temparray[whilecount];
tempvar++;
whilecount=whilecount+1;
}
else if (temparray[whilecount]==temparray[whilecount+1])
{
finalarray[tempvar]=temparray[whilecount];
tempvar++;
whilecount=whilecount+2;
}
}
Hope this helps or solves the purpose.

You can use an auxiliary array (temp) which in indexes are numbers of main array. So the time complexity will be liner and O(n). As we want to do it without using any library, we define another array (unique) to push non-duplicate elements:
var num = [2,4,9,4,1,2,24,12,4];
let temp = [];
let unique = [];
let j = 0;
for (let i = 0; i < num.length; i++){
if (temp[num[i]] !== 1){
temp[num[i]] = 1;
unique[j++] = num[i];
}
}
console.log(unique);
If you are looking to remove duplicates using the same array and also keeping the time complexity of O(n). Then this should do the trick. Also, would only work if the array is sorted.
function removeDuplicates_sorted(arr){
let j = 0;
for(let x = 0; x < arr.length - 1; x++){
if(arr[x] != arr[x + 1]){
arr[j++] = arr[x];
}
}
arr[j++] = arr[arr.length - 1];
arr.length = j;
return arr;
}
Here is for an unsorted array, its O(n) but uses more space complexity then the sorted.
function removeDuplicates_unsorted(arr){
let map = {};
let j = 0;
for(var numbers of arr){
if(!map[numbers]){
map[numbers] = 1;
arr[j++] = numbers;
}
}
arr.length = j;
return arr;
}
Note to other readers who desire to use the Set method of solving this problem: If original ordering must be preserved, do not use HashSet as in the top result. HashSet does not guarantee the preservation of the original order, so LinkedHashSet should be used instead-this keeps track of the order in which the elements were inserted into the set and returns them in that order.
This is an interview question.

But, it's always better to use Stream :

int[] array = Arrays.stream(a).distinct().toArray();
System.out.println(Arrays.toString(array));//[1, 2, 3, 6, 66, 7, 65]
How about this one, only for the sorted Array of numbers, to print the Array without duplicates, without using Set or other Collections, just an Array:
public static int[] removeDuplicates(int[] array) {

int addedNumber = 0;
int j = 0;
for(int i=0; i < array.length; i++) {
if (addedNumber != array[i]) {

j++;
addedNumber = nums[j-1];
}
}
return Arrays.copyOf(nums, j);
}

I feel Android Killer's idea is great, but I just wondered if we can leverage HashMap. So I did a little experiment. And I found HashMap seems faster than HashSet.
Here is code:
int[] input = new int[1000000];
for (int i = 0; i < input.length; i++) {
Random random = new Random();
input[i] = random.nextInt(200000);
}
long startTime1 = new Date().getTime();
System.out.println("Set start time:" + startTime1);
Set<Integer> resultSet = new HashSet<Integer>();
for (int i = 0; i < input.length; i++) {
resultSet.add(input[i]);
}
long endTime1 = new Date().getTime();
System.out.println("Set end time:"+ endTime1);
System.out.println("result of set:" + (endTime1 - startTime1));
System.out.println("number of Set:" + resultSet.size() + "\n");
long startTime2 = new Date().getTime();
System.out.println("Map start time:" + startTime1);
Map<Integer, Integer> resultMap = new HashMap<Integer, Integer>();
for (int i = 0; i < input.length; i++) {
if (!resultMap.containsKey(input[i]))
resultMap.put(input[i], input[i]);
}
long endTime2 = new Date().getTime();
System.out.println("Map end Time:" + endTime2);
System.out.println("result of Map:" + (endTime2 - startTime2));
System.out.println("number of Map:" + resultMap.size());
Here is result:
Set start time:1441960583837
Set end time:1441960583917
result of set:80
number of Set:198652
Map start time:1441960583837
Map end Time:1441960583983
result of Map:66
number of Map:198652
This is not using Set, Map, List or any extra collection, only two arrays:
package arrays.duplicates;
import java.lang.reflect.Array;
import java.util.Arrays;
public class ArrayDuplicatesRemover<T> {
public static <T> T[] removeDuplicates(T[] input, Class<T> clazz) {
T[] output = (T[]) Array.newInstance(clazz, 0);
for (T t : input) {
if (!inArray(t, output)) {
output = Arrays.copyOf(output, output.length + 1);
output[output.length - 1] = t;
}
}
return output;
}
private static <T> boolean inArray(T search, T[] array) {
for (T element : array) {
if (element.equals(search)) {
return true;
}
}
return false;
}
}
And the main to test it
package arrays.duplicates;
import java.util.Arrays;
public class TestArrayDuplicates {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Integer[] array = {1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 3, 4};
testArrayDuplicatesRemover(array);
}
private static void testArrayDuplicatesRemover(Integer[] array) {
final Integer[] expectedResult = {1, 2, 3, 4};
Integer[] arrayWithoutDuplicates = ArrayDuplicatesRemover.removeDuplicates(array, Integer.class);
System.out.println("Array without duplicates is supposed to be: " + Arrays.toString(expectedResult));
System.out.println("Array without duplicates currently is: " + Arrays.toString(arrayWithoutDuplicates));
System.out.println("Is test passed ok?: " + (Arrays.equals(arrayWithoutDuplicates, expectedResult) ? "YES" : "NO"));
}
}
And the output:
Array without duplicates is supposed to be: [1, 2, 3, 4]
Array without duplicates currently is: [1, 2, 3, 4]
Is test passed ok?: YES
