Given an array arr[] of length N, where arr is derived from an array nums[] which is lost. Array arr[] is derived as:
arr[i] = (nums[0] + nums[1] + … + nums[i]) + (nums[i] + nums[i+1] + … + nums[N-1]).
The task is to find nums[] array of length N.
Examples:
Input: N = 4, arr[] = {9, 10, 11, 10}
Output: {1, 2, 3, 2}
Explanation: If nums[] = {1, 2, 3, 2}, then according to above definition
arr[0] = (nums[0]) + (nums[0] + nums[1] + nums[2] + nums[3]) = 1 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 2 = 9
arr[1] = (nums[0] + nums[1]) + (nums[1] + nums[2] + nums[3]) = 1 + 2 + 2 + 3 + 2 = 10
arr[2] = (nums[0] + nums[1] + nums[2]) + (nums[2] + nums[3]) = 1 + 2 + 3 + 3 + 2 = 11
arr[3] = (nums[0] + nums[1] + nums[2] + nums[3]) + (nums[3]) = 1 + 2 + 3 + 2 + 2 = 10
Input: N = 2, arr[] = [25, 20]
Output: [10, 5]
Approach: Follow the below idea to solve the problem:
Suppose nums[] contains [a1, a2, a3, …, aN]
Then, sum = a1 + a2 + a3 + . . . + aN.
We are given
b1 = a1 + a1 + a2 + . . . + aN = a1 + sum …..(1)
Similarly,
b2 = a1 + a2 + a2 + . . . + aN = a2 + sum …..(2)
. . . (so on) and in last
b1 = a1 + a2 + a3 + . . . + aN + aN = aN + sum …..(N)
where [b1, b2, b3 , . . ., bN] are elements of arr[] and,
total = b1 + b2 + b3 + . . . + bN
Adding all equation (1) + (2) + (3) + …. + (N) we will get
b1 + b2 + b3 + . . . + bN = (a1 + sum) + (a2 + sum) + . . . + (aN + sum)
total = (a1 + a1 + a2 + . . . + aN) + (N * sum)
total = (sum) + (N * sum)
total = (N + 1) * sum
Now find the value of sum variable after that simply:
a1 = (b1 – sum), a2 = (b2 – sum), . . ., aN = (bN – sum)
Using the above idea follow the below steps to implement the code:
- First of all, try to store the sum of elements of arr[] in a variable let’s say total
- Using the formula (N + 1) * sum = total, we will get the value of variable sum which denotes the sum of elements present in the nums[] array.
- At last traverse N times to find nums[0] = arr[0] – sum, nums[1] = arr[1] – sum and so on.
- Return the array and print it.
Below is the implementation of the above approach:
C++
#include <iostream>
#include <vector>
using namespace std;
vector< int > findOrgArray(vector< int > arr, int N)
{
int total = 0;
for ( int val : arr)
total += val;
int sum = (total / (N + 1));
vector< int > v;
for ( int i = 0; i < N; i++) {
int val = arr[i] - sum;
v.push_back(val);
}
return v;
}
int main()
{
int N = 4;
vector< int > arr = { 9, 10, 11, 10 };
vector< int > v = findOrgArray(arr, N);
for ( auto val : v)
cout << val << " " ;
return 0;
}

{
int N = 4 ;
int [] arr = { 9 , 10 , 11 , 10 };
List<Integer> nums = findOrgArray(arr, N);
for ( int x : nums)
System.out.print(x + " " );
}
public static List<Integer> findOrgArray( int [] arr,
int N)
{
int total = 0 ;
for ( int val : arr)
total += val;
int sum = (total / (N + 1 ));
List<Integer> nums = new ArrayList<>();
for ( int i = 0 ; i < N; i++) {
int val = arr[i] - sum;
nums.add(val);
}
return nums;
}
}

Time Complexity: O(N)
Auxiliary Space: O(N), to further reduce it to O(1), store the value in the same given array arr[] rather than storing it in a new array.
Another Approach:
- Initialize a variable named “total” to 0.
- Traverse the input array “arr” using a range-based for loop.
a. For each element “val” in “arr”, add “val” to the “total” variable.
- Compute the sum of the original array “nums” using the formula: sum = total / (N + 1).
- Traverse the input array “arr” again using a for loop with index “i” from 0 to N-1.
a. For each element in “arr”, subtract “sum” from it and store the result back into “arr[i]”. This effectively undoes the modification made to “arr” and recovers the original array “nums”.
Below is the implementation of the above approach:
C++
#include <iostream>
#include <vector>
using namespace std;
void findOrgArray(vector< int >& arr, int N)
{
int total = 0;
for ( int val : arr)
total += val;
int sum = (total / (N + 1));
for ( int i = 0; i < N; i++) {
arr[i] = arr[i] - sum;
}
}
int main()
{
int N = 4;
vector< int > arr = { 9, 10, 11, 10 };
findOrgArray(arr, N);
for ( auto val : arr)
cout << val << " " ;
return 0;
