Circular Array Rotation

  • nstoddar + 1 comment

    Thanks polmki99! Very clever implementation.

    Here it is in Javascript for those interested.

    function processData(input) {
    //Enter your code here
    var inputList = input.split('\n');
    var details = inputList[0].split(" ");
    var arrayIdx = inputList.slice(2);
    var targetArray = inputList[1].split(" ");
    
    var k = details[1]%details[0];
    
    targetArray = [].concat(targetArray.slice(-k),targetArray.slice(0,-k));
    
    arrayIdx.map(function(elem){return console.log(targetArray[elem]);});
}

      Nice one liner using the built in functions! Unfortunately, this still fails when k is higher than n (test case #4). You seem to be getting around it by overwriting k with: 

      var k = details[1]%details[0];

      I'm curious to see if there are other, more algorithmic solutions to this in Javascript.

        This works in Javascript for all test cases:

        function main() {
    var n_temp = readLine().split(' ');
    var n = parseInt(n_temp[0]);
    var k = parseInt(n_temp[1]);
    var q = parseInt(n_temp[2]);
  
    a = readLine().split(' ');
    a = a.map(Number);
  
    for (var i=0; i<q; i++) {
      var m = readLine();
      console.log(a.slice(m-k%n)[0]);
    }
}

          when i ran my code only sample test cleared and rest failed

          function circularArrayRotation(a, k, queries) { 

    var res = [];
    var resind = 0;

    while (k > 0) {
        rotateArr();
        k--;
    }

    function rotateArr() {
        var i = 0;
        var lastel = a[a.length - 1];
        var temp1 = a[0];
        var temp2;

        while (i < a.length-1) {
            temp2 = a[i + 1];
            a[i + 1] = temp1;
            temp1 = temp2;
            i++;
        }

        a[0] = lastel;
    }

    for(var j in queries) {
        res[resind] = a[j];
        resind++;
    }

    return res;
		}

              I think some issue is in how i am returning the values, please help identify the error

            found out what the problem was, new JS code:

            function circularArrayRotation(a, k, queries) {

    var rarr = [];
    var aind = [];
    var res = [];

    for (var i = 0; i < a.length; i++){
        if ((i + k) < a.length) {
            aind[i] = i + k;
        } else {
            aind[i] = (i + k) % a.length;
        }
    }

    for (var j = 0; j < a.length; j++) {
        rarr[aind[j]] = a[j];
    }


    for (var k = 0; k < queries.length; k++){
        res[k] = rarr[queries[k]];
    }

    return (res);
}

              Hi, could you please explain what is happening here? Thanks
