Given an array arr[] containing N positive integers and an integer K. The task is to replace every array element with the average of previous K and next K elements. Also, if K elements are not present then adjust use the maximum number of elements available before and after.

Examples:

Input: arr[] = {9, 7, 3, 9, 1, 8, 11}, K=2
Output: 5 7 6 4 7 7 4
Explanation: For i = 0, average = (7 + 3)/2 = 5
For i = 1, average = (9 + 3 + 9)/3 = 7
For i = 2, average = (9 + 7 + 9 + 1)/4 = 6
For i = 3, average = (7 + 3 + 1 + 8)/4 = 4
For i = 4, average = (3 + 9 + 8 + 11)/4 = 7
For i = 5, average = (9 + 1 + 11)/3 = 7
For i = 6, average = (1 + 8)/2 = 4

Input: arr[] = {13, 26, 35, 41, 23, 18, 38}, K=3
Output: 34 28 24 25 31 34 27 

 

Naive Approach:  The simplest approach is to use nested loops. The outer loop will traverse the array from left to right, i.e. from i = 0 to i < N and an inner loop will traverse the subarray from index i – K to the index i + K except i and calculate the average of them.

Below is the implementation of the above approach:

C++




// C++ program for the above approach
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Function to replace all array elements
// with the average of previous and
// next K elements
void findAverage(int arr[], int N, int K)
{
    int start, end;
    for (int i = 0; i < N; i++) {
        int sum = 0;
 
        // Start limit is max(i-K, 0)
        start = max(i - K, 0);
 
        // End limit in min(i+K, N-1)
        end = min(i + K, N - 1);
        int cnt = end - start;
        for (int j = start; j <= end; j++) {
 
            // Skipping the current element
            if (j == i) {
                continue;
            }
            sum += arr[j];
        }
        cout << sum / cnt << ' ';
    }
}
 
// Driver Code
int main()
{
    int arr[] = { 9, 7, 3, 9, 1, 8, 11 };
    int N = sizeof(arr) / sizeof(arr[0]);
    int K = 2;
    findAverage(arr, N, K);
    return 0;
}

// Java program to implement
// the above approach
class GFG {
 
  // Function to replace all array elements
  // with the average of previous and
  // next K elements
  static void findAverage(int[] arr, int N, int K)
  {
    int start, end;
    for (int i = 0; i < N; i++) {
      int sum = 0;
 
      // Start limit is max(i-K, 0)
      start = Math.max(i - K, 0);
 
      // End limit in min(i+K, N-1)
      end = Math.min(i + K, N - 1);
      int cnt = end - start;
      for (int j = start; j <= end; j++) {
 
        // Skipping the current element
        if (j == i) {
          continue;
        }
        sum += arr[j];
      }
      System.out.print(sum / cnt + " ");
    }
  }
 
  // Driver Code
  public static void main(String[] args)
  {
    int[] arr = { 9, 7, 3, 9, 1, 8, 11 };
    int N = arr.length;

Efficient approach:  This approach uses the sliding window method. Follow the steps mentioned below to implement this concept:

 

  • Consider that every element has K next and previous elements and take an window of size 2*K + 1 to cover this whole range.
  • Now initially find the sum of first (K+1) elements.
  • While traversing the array:
    • Calculate the average by dividing the sum with (size of window-1).
    • Add the next element after the rightmost end of the current window.
    • Remove the leftmost element of the current window. This will shift the window one position to right
  • Print the resultant array.

 

Below is the implementation of the above approach:

{
    int i, sum = 0, next, prev, update;
    int cnt = 0;
 
    // Calculate initial sum of K+1 elements
    for (i = 0; i <= K and i < N; i++) {
        sum += arr[i];
        cnt += 1;
    }
 
    // Using the sliding window technique
    for (i = 0; i < N; i++) {
        update = sum - arr[i];
        cout << update / (cnt - 1) << " ";
        next = i + K + 1;
        prev = i - K;
        if (next < N) {
            sum += arr[next];
            cnt += 1;
        }
        if (prev >= 0) {
            sum -= arr[prev];
          cnt-=1;
