Given an array, arr[ ] of size N, the task is to rearrange the given array such that the product of all the elements of its prefix sum array is not equal to 0. If it is not possible to rearrange the array that satisfies the given condition, then print -1.

Examples:

Input: arr[] = {1, -1, -2, 3}
Output: 3 1 -1 -2
Explanation:
Prefix sum after rearranging the given array to {3, 1, -1, -2} are {3, 4, 3, 1} and product all the elements of its prefix sum array = (3 * 4 * 3 * 1) = 36.
Therefore, the required array is {3, 1, -1, -2}

Input: arr = {1, 1, -1, -1}
Output: -1

Approach: The idea is to sort the given array either in ascending order or descending order so that any element of its prefix sum not equal to 0. Follow the steps below to solve the problem:

  • Calculate the sum of elements of the given array, say totalSum.
  • If totalSum = 0 then print -1.
  • If totalSum > 0 then print the given array in decreasing order so that any elements of its prefix sum not equal to 0.
  • If totalSum < 0 then print the given array in ascending order so that any elements of its prefix sum not equal to 0.

Below is the implementation of the above approach:

C++




// C++ program to implement
// the above approach
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Function to print array elements
void printArr(int arr[], int N)
{
    for (int i = 0; i < N; i++) {
        cout << arr[i] << " ";
    }
}
 
// Function to rearrange array
// that satisfies the given condition
void rearrangeArr(int arr[], int N)
{
    // Stores sum of elements
    // of the given array
    int totalSum = 0;
 
    // Calculate totalSum
    for (int i = 0; i < N; i++) {
        totalSum += arr[i];
    }
 
    // If the totalSum is equal to 0
    if (totalSum == 0) {
 
        // No possible way to
        // rearrange array
        cout << "-1" << endl;
    }
 
    // If totalSum exceeds 0
    else if (totalSum > 0) {
 
        // Rearrange the array
        // in descending order
        sort(arr, arr + N,
             greater<int>());
        printArr(arr, N);
    }
 
    // Otherwise
    else {
 
        // Rearrange the array
        // in ascending order
        sort(arr, arr + N);
        printArr(arr, N);
    }
}
 
// Driver Code
int main()
{
    int arr[] = { 1, -1, -2, 3 };
    int N = sizeof(arr) / sizeof(arr[0]);
    rearrangeArr(arr, N);
}
