Find prime numbers in the first half and second half of an array

0 0 5 minutes read

Given an array arr of size N. The task is to find the prime numbers in the first half (up to index N/2) and the second half (all the remaining elements) of an array.
Examples:

Input : arr[] = {2, 5, 10, 15, 17, 21, 23 }
Output :2 5 and 17 23
Prime numbers in the first half of an array are 2, 5 and in the second half are 17, 23
Input : arr[] = {31, 35, 40, 43}
Output :31 and 43

Approach:
First Traverse the array up to N/2 and check all the elements whether they are prime or not and print the prime numbers. Then Traverse the array from N/2th element till N and find whether elements are prime or not and print all those elements which are prime.
Below is the implementation of the above approach:

C++

// C++ program to print the prime numbers in the
// first half and second half of an array
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Function to check if a number is prime or not
bool prime(int n)
{
    for (int i = 2; i * i <= n; i++)
        if (n % i == 0)
            return false;
 
    return true;
}
 
// Function to find whether elements are prime or not
void prime_range(int start, int end, int* a)
{
    // Traverse in the given range
    for (int i = start; i < end; i++) {
 
        // Check if a number is prime or not
        if (prime(a[i]))
            cout << a[i] << " ";
    }
}
 
// Function to print the prime numbers in the
// first half and second half of an array
void Print(int arr[], int n)
{
 
    cout << "Prime numbers in the first half are ";
    prime_range(0, n / 2, arr);
    cout << endl;
 
    cout << "Prime numbers in the second half are ";
    prime_range(n / 2, n, arr);
    cout << endl;
}
 
// Driver Code
int main()
{
 
    int arr[] = { 2, 5, 10, 15, 17, 21, 23 };
 
    int n = sizeof(arr) / sizeof(arr[0]);
 
    // Function call
    Print(arr, n);
 
    return 0;
}

Output:

Prime numbers in the first half are 2 5
Prime numbers in the second half are 17 23

Time Complexity: O(n * sqrt(n)), as we are using a loop for traversing n times and each time for checking if a number is prime or not we are using a loop to traverse sqrt(n) times which will cost O(sqrt(n)).

Auxiliary Space: O(1), as we are not using any extra space.
