Rearrange and update array elements as specified by the given queries

Last Updated : 15 Jul, 2025

Given an array arr[] of size N and queries Q[][], the task is to perform the following types of queries on the given array. 0: Left shift the array by one position.

1: Right shift the array by one position.
2 X Y: Update the value of arr[X] = Y.
3 X: Print arr[X].

Example:

Input: arr[]={1, 2, 3, 4, 5}, Q[][]={{0}, {1}, {3, 1}, {2, 2, 54}, {3, 2}}.
Output:4 54
Explanation:
Query1: The array arr[] modifies to {2, 3, 4, 5, 1}
Query2: The array arr[] modifies to {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}
Query3: Print the value of arr[1] i.e. 2
Query4: The array arr[] modifies to {1, 54, 3, 4, 5}
Query5: Print the value of arr[2], i.e. 54.

Input: arr[]={1}, Q[][]={{0}, {1}, {2, 0, 54}, {3, 0}}
Output: 54

Approach: The problem can be solved using Deque(Double Ended queue) to perform the insert and delete operation at the front and back of the queue in O(1). Follow the below steps to solve the problem.

Create a double-ended Queue, dq.
Push all elements of the array arr[] to dq.
For the query of type 0(Left Shift), pop an element from the front of dq and push the element to the back of dq.
For the query of type 1(Right Shift), pop an element from the back of dq and push the element to the front of dq.
For the query of type 2, update dq[X] = Y.
For the query of type 3, print dq[X].

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 perform the
// given operations
void Queries(int arr[], int N,
             vector<vector<int> >& Q)
{

    // Dequeue to store the
    // array elements
    deque<int> dq;

    // Insert all element of
    // the array into the dequeue
    for (int i = 0; i < N; i++) {
        dq.push_back(arr[i]);
    }

    // Stores the size of the queue
    int sz = Q.size();

    // Traverse each query
    for (int i = 0; i < sz; i++) {

        // Query for left shift.
        if (Q[i][0] == 0) {

            // Extract the element at
            // the front of the queue
            int front = dq[0];

            // Pop the element at
            // the front of the queue
            dq.pop_front();

            // Push the element at
            // the back of the queue
            dq.push_back(front);
        }

        // Query for right shift
        else if (Q[i][0] == 1) {

            // Extract the element at
            // the back of the queue
            int back = dq[N - 1];

            // Pop the element at
            // the back of the queue
            dq.pop_back();

            // Push the element at
            // the front of the queue
            dq.push_front(back);
        }

        // Query for update
        else if (Q[i][0] == 2) {

            dq[Q[i][1]] = Q[i][2];
        }

        // Query to get the value
        else {
            cout << dq[Q[i][1]] << " ";
        }
    }
}

// Driver Code
int main()
{

    int arr[] = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 };
    int N = sizeof(arr) / sizeof(arr[0]);
    vector<vector<int> > Q;

    // All possible Queries
    Q = { { 0 }, { 1 }, { 3, 1 }, 
          { 2, 2, 54 }, { 3, 2 } };

    Queries(arr, N, Q);
    return 0;
}
