First subarray having sum at least half the maximum sum of any subarray of size K

Last Updated : 25 Nov, 2021

Given an array arr[] and an integer K, the task is to find the first subarray which has a sum greater than or equal to half of the maximum possible sum from any subarray of size K.

Examples:

Input: arr[] = {2, 4, 5, 1, 4, 6, 6, 2, 1, 0}, K = 3
Output: 6 2 1
Explanation:
The given array has a maximum possible sum from any subarray of size K is 16 from the subarray {4, 6, 6}.
So, the required subarray sum should be greater than or equal to 8
{6, 2, 1} is the first subarray which has a sum of 9 which is greater than 8.

Input: arr[] = {12, 45, 11, 10, 8, 56, 2}, K = 4
Output: 45 11 10

Approach: This problem can be solved using the sliding windows technique because subarrays are to be taken into consideration. Follow the steps below to solve this problem:

Calculate the sum of all subarrays of size K and store them in an array.
Now, find the maximum of all the sums.
Iterate over the array and find a sum that is greater than or equal to half of the maximum subarray sum obtained above.
Print the subarray satisfying the above condition.

Below is the implementation of the above approach:

C++

// C++ implementation of the above approach
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

// Function to print the subarray with sum
// greater or equal than the half of
// the maximum subarray sum of K size
void subArray(int arr[], int n, int k)
{
    int sum = 0;

    // Storing sum of first subarray
    for (int i = 0; i < k; i++) {
        sum += arr[i];
    }

    // Vector to store the
    // subarray sums
    vector<int> res;
    res.push_back(sum);

    // Sliding window technique to
    // Find sum of subarrays of size K
    for (int i = k; i < n; i++) {
        sum -= arr[i - k];
        sum += arr[i];
        res.push_back(sum);
    }

    // Maximum sub-array sum
    int max_sum = *max_element(res.begin(),
                               res.end());

    int half = max_sum / 2;

    // Create a copy vector
    vector<int> copy = res;

    // Sort the vector
    sort(copy.begin(),copy.end());  
  
    int half_index, half_sum;

    // Check in a sorted array for
    // an element exceeding
    // half of the max_sum
    for (auto x : copy) {
        if (x >= half) {
            half_sum = x;
            break;
        }
    }

    // Calculate index of first
    // subarray having required sum
    for (int x = 0; x < res.size(); x++) {
        if (res[x] == half_sum) {
            half_index = x;
            break;
        }
    }

    // Print the subarray
    for (int i = 1; i <= k; i++) {
        cout << arr[half_index + i - 1] 
             << " ";
    }
}
