How to optimally divide an array into two subarrays so that sum of elements in both subarrays is same, otherwise give an error?

Example 1

Given the array

Answer 1

Please try this and let me know if not working. Hope it will helps you.

static ArrayList array = null;

public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {

    ArrayList inputArray = getinputArray();
    System.out.println("inputArray is " + inputArray);
    Collections.sort(inputArray);

    int totalSum = 0;

    Iterator inputArrayIterator = inputArray.iterator();
    while (inputArrayIterator.hasNext()) {
        totalSum = totalSum + inputArrayIterator.next();
    }
    if (totalSum % 2 != 0) {
        System.out.println("Not Possible");
        return;
    }

    int leftSum = inputArray.get(0);
    int rightSum = inputArray.get(inputArray.size() - 1);

    int currentLeftIndex = 0;
    int currentRightIndex = inputArray.size() - 1;

    while (leftSum <= (totalSum / 2)) {
        if ((currentLeftIndex + 1 != currentRightIndex)
                && leftSum != (totalSum / 2)) {
            currentLeftIndex++;
            leftSum = leftSum + inputArray.get(currentLeftIndex);
        } else
            break;

    }
    if (leftSum == (totalSum / 2)) {
        ArrayList splitleft = new ArrayList();
        ArrayList splitright = new ArrayList();

        for (int i = 0; i <= currentLeftIndex; i++) {
            splitleft.add(inputArray.get(i));
        }
        for (int i = currentLeftIndex + 1; i < inputArray.size(); i++) {
            splitright.add(inputArray.get(i));
        }
        System.out.println("splitleft is :" + splitleft);
        System.out.println("splitright is :" + splitright);

    }

    else
        System.out.println("Not possible");
}

public static ArrayList getinputArray() {
    Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in);
    array = new ArrayList();
    int size;
    System.out.println("Enter the Initial array size : ");
    size = scanner.nextInt();
    System.out.println("Enter elements in the array");
    for (int j = 0; j < size; j++) {
        int element;
        element = scanner.nextInt();
        array.add(element);
    }
    return array;
}
