Full Details

Given an array with n elements and an integer k. Divide the array into subarrays, each of them containing k elements.For example:

Input: arr[]={1, 32, 5, 6, 9, 3} and k=2 The subarrays will have elements: {1,32}, {5,6}, {9,3}. Now sort these subarrays as {5,6}, {9,3}, {1,32}. Merge these subarrays together and display them as the elements of original array in sorted order as Final output: arr[]={5, 6, 9, 3, 1, 32} Examples:

Input : arr[]={1, 32, 5, 6, 9, 3} k=2 Output : arr[]={5, 6, 9, 3, 1, 32} Below is the implementation of the above idea: CPP // C++ Program implementation of the above idea #include using namespace std ; void subarray_k ( vector < int > v , int n , int k ) { int sum = 0 ; int index ; string str = "" ; vector < pair < int , int > > arr ; for ( int i = 0 ; i < n - 1 ; i ++ ) { index = i ; str = to_string ( v [ i ]); i ++ ; for ( int j = 0 ; j < k - 1 ; j ++ ) { // Conversion of array elements(integers) to // string for easy concatenation string temp = to_string ( v [ i ]); str += temp ; if ( j != k - 2 ) i ++ ; } stringstream check ( str ); int s = 0 ; // Conversion of concatenated string to integer check >> s ; arr . push_back ( make_pair ( s , index )); index ++ ; } int u = 0 ; // Sorting of array sort ( arr . begin (), arr . end ()); vector < int > v2 ; for ( int i = 0 ; i < ( n / k ); i ++ ) { u = 0 ; int j = arr [ i ]. second ; while ( u < k ) { int a = v [ j ]; v2 . push_back ( a ); u ++ ; j ++ ; } } // print for ( int i = 0 ; i < n ; i ++ ) { cout << v2 [ i ] << " " ; } } // Driver code int main () { int n = 6 ; vector < int > v = { 1 , 32 , 5 , 6 , 9 , 3 }; int k = 2 ; // Function call subarray_k ( v , n , k );

return 0 ; // This code is contributed by Siddhant Thapliyal }

Output 5 6 9 3 1 32
