Make array elements equals | GFG POTD question solution

Rajnish Tripathi 19:40

 Problem:

You are given an integer N. Consider an array arr having N elements where arr[i] = 2*i+1. (The array is 0-indexed)

You are allowed to perform the given operation on the array any number of times:

1) Select two indices i and j and increase arr[i] by 1 and decrease arr[j] by 1.

Your task is to find the minimum number of such operations required to make all the elements of the array equal.

Example 1:

Input:
N = 3
Output:
2
Explanation:
Initially the array is {1, 3, 5}. If we perform
the operation once on the indices 0 and 2, the 
resulting array will be {2, 3, 4}. If we again 
perform the operation once on the indices 0
and 2, the resulting array will be {3, 3, 3}.
Hence, the minimum operations required is 2
in this case.

Example 2:

Input: 
N = 2
Output:
1
Explanation: 
The array initially is {1, 3}. After performing 
an operation the array will be {2, 2}. Hence,
the answer is 1 in this case.

Solution:

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

class Solution {
  public:
    long long int minOperations(int N) {
        // Code here
        long long n=N/2;
        long long  a=n*N;
        return (a-(n*n));
    }
};

int main()
{
  int t;
  cin>>t;
  while(t--)
  {
    int n;
    cin>>n;
    Solution ob;
    cout<<ob.minOperations(n)<<endl;
  }
}
