Count pairs from two arrays having sum equal to K

0 0 5 minutes read

Given an integer K and two arrays A1 and A2, the task is to return the total number of pairs (one element from A1 and one element from A2) with a sum equal to K.

Note: Arrays can have duplicate elements. We consider every pair as different, the only constraint is, an element (of any array) can participate only in one pair. For example, A1[] = {3, 3}, A2[] = {4, 4} and K = 7, we consider only two pairs (3, 4) and (3, 4)

Examples:

Input: A1[] = {1, 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 6}, A2[] = {1, 4, 4, 5, 7}, K = 10 
Output: 4 
All possible pairs are {3, 7}, {4, 6}, {5, 5} and {4, 6}

Input: A1[] = {1, 10, 13, 15}, A2[] = {3, 3, 12, 4}, K = 13 
Output: 2

Approach:

Create a map of the elements of array A1.
For each element in array A2, check if temp = K – A2[i] exists in map created in previous step.
If map[temp] > 0 then increment result by 1 and decrement map[temp] by 1.
Print the total count in the end.

Below is the implementation of the above approach:

C++

// C++ implementation of above approach.
 
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Function to return the count of pairs 
// having sum equal to K
int countPairs(int A1[], int A2[]
                  , int n1, int n2, int K)
{
    // Initialize pairs to 0
    int res = 0;
 
    // create map of elements of array A1
    unordered_map<int, int> m;
    for (int i = 0; i < n1; ++i)
        m[A1[i]]++;
 
    // count total pairs
    for (int i = 0; i < n2; ++i) {
        int temp = K - A2[i];
 
        if (m[temp] != 0) {
            res++;
 
            // Every element can be part 
            // of at most one pair. 
            m[temp]--;
        }
    }
 
    // return total pairs
    return res;
}
 
// Driver program
int main()
{
    int A1[] = { 1, 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 6 };
    int A2[] = { 1, 4, 4, 5, 7 }, K = 10;
 
    int n1 = sizeof(A1) / sizeof(A1[0]);
    int n2 = sizeof(A2) / sizeof(A2[0]);
 
    // function call to print required answer
    cout << countPairs(A1, A2, n1, n2, K);
 
    return 0;
}

// Function to return the count of pairs

    // Initialize pairs to 0 
    int res = 0; 
 
    // create map of elements of array A1 
    Map<Integer, Integer> m = new HashMap<Integer, Integer> (); 
    for (int i = 0; i < n1; ++i) 
    {
        if(m.containsKey(A1[i]))
        m.put(A1[i], m.get(A1[i]) + 1);
        else
        m.put(A1[i], 1);
    } 
 
    // count total pairs 
    for (int i = 0; i < n2; ++i) { 
        int temp = K - A2[i]; 
 
        if (m.containsKey(temp) && m.get(temp) != 0) { 
            res++; 
 
            // Every element can be part 
            // of at most one pair. 
            m.put(temp, m.get(A1[i]) - 1);
        } 
    } 
 
    // return total pairs 
    return res; 
} 
 
// Driver program 
public static void main(String[] args) 
{ 
    int A1[] = { 1, 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 6 }; 
    int A2[] = { 1, 4, 4, 5, 7 }, K = 10; 
 
    int n1 = A1.length;
    int n2 = A2.length; 
 
    // function call to print required answer 
    System.out.println(countPairs(A1, A2, n1, n2, K));
