How to optimally divide an array into two subarrays so that sum of elements in both subarrays is same, otherwise give an error?
Given the array>
Tried a different solution . other than Wiki solutions (Partition Problem).
static void subSet(int array[]) {
System.out.println("Input elements :" + Arrays.toString(array));
int sum = 0;
for (int element : array) {
sum = sum + element;
}
if (sum % 2 == 1) {
System.out.println("Invalid Pair");
return;
}
Arrays.sort(array);
System.out.println("Sorted elements :" + Arrays.toString(array));
int subSum = sum / 2;
int[] subSet = new int[array.length];
int tmpSum = 0;
boolean isFastpath = true;
int lastStopIndex = 0;
for (int j = array.length - 1; j >= 0; j--) {
tmpSum = tmpSum + array[j];
if (tmpSum == subSum) { // if Match found
if (isFastpath) { // if no skip required and straight forward
// method
System.out.println("Found SubSets 0..." + (j - 1) + " and "
+ j + "..." + (array.length - 1));
} else {
subSet[j] = array[j];
array[j] = 0;
System.out.println("Found..");
System.out.println("Set 1" + Arrays.toString(subSet));
System.out.println("Set 2" + Arrays.toString(array));
}
return;
} else {
// Either the tmpSum greater than subSum or less .
// if less , just look for next item
if (tmpSum < subSum && ((subSum - tmpSum) >= array[0])) {
if (lastStopIndex > j && subSet[lastStopIndex] == 0) {
subSet[lastStopIndex] = array[lastStopIndex];
array[lastStopIndex] = 0;
}
lastStopIndex = j;
continue;
}
isFastpath = false;
if (subSet[lastStopIndex] == 0) {
subSet[lastStopIndex] = array[lastStopIndex];
array[lastStopIndex] = 0;
}
tmpSum = tmpSum - array[j];
}
}
}
I have tested. ( It works well with positive number greater than 0) please let me know if any one face issue.
