Number of Groups of Sizes Two Or Three Divisible By 3 in C++
Given an array of numbers, we need to find the number of groups of size 2 and 3 that are divisible by 3. We can get the sums of two and three combination numbers and check whether they are divisible by 3 or not.
Let's see an example.
Input
arr = [1, 2, 3, 4]
Output
4
There are 4 combinations that are divisible by 3. The combinations are...
[1, 2] [2, 4] [1, 2, 3] [2, 3, 4]
Algorithm
Initialise the array.
Write two loops to get all combinations of size two.
Compute the sum of each group.
If the sum is divisible by 3, then increment the count.
Write three loops to get all combinations of size three.
Compute the sum of each group.
If the sum is divisible by 3, then increment the count.
Return the count.
Implementation
Following is the implementation of the above algorithm in C++
#include <bits/stdc++.h> using namespace std; int getNumberOfGroupsDivisibleBy3(int arr[], int n) { int count = 0; for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) { for (int j = i + 1; j < n; j++) { int sum = arr[i] + arr[j]; if (sum % 3 == 0) { count += 1; } } } for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) { for (int j = i + 1; j < n; j++) { for (int k = j + 1; k < n; k++) { int sum = arr[i] + arr[j] + arr[k]; if (sum % 3 == 0) { count += 1; } } } } return count; } int main() { int arr[] = { 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 1, 2, 4, 7, 8 }; int n = 10; cout << getNumberOfGroupsDivisibleBy3(arr, n) << endl; return 0; }
Output
If you run the above code, then you will get the following result.
