Convert an Array to reduced for using Binary Search

Last Updated : 28 Nov, 2022

Given an array arr[] consisting of N distinct integers, the task is to convert the given array into a sequence of first N non-negative integers, i.e. [0, N - 1] such that the order of the elements is the same, i.e. 0 is placed at the index of the smallest array element, 1 at the index of the second smallest element, and so on.

Examples:

Input: arr[] = {10, 40, 20}
Output: 0 2 1

Input: arr[] = {5, 10, 40, 30, 20}
Output: 0 1 4 3 2

Hashing-Based Approach: Please refer to the Set 1 post of this article for the hashing-based approach.
Time Complexity: O(N* log N)
Auxiliary Space: O(N)

Vector Of Pairs Based Approach: Please refer to the Set 2 post of this article for the approach using the vector of pairs.
Time Complexity: O(N* log N)
Auxiliary Space: O(N)

Binary Search-based Approach: Follow the steps to solve the problem:

Initialize an array, say brr[] and store all the elements of the array arr[] into brr[].
Sort the array brr[] in ascending order.
Traverse the given array arr[] and for each element i.e., arr[i] find the lower_bound of arr[i] in the array brr[] and print the index of is as the result for the current element.

Below is the implementation of the above approach:

C++

// C++ program for the above approach

#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;

// Function to find the reduced form
// of the given array arr[]
void convert(int arr[], int n)
{
    // Stores the sorted form of the
    // the given array arr[]
    int brr[n];

    for (int i = 0; i < n; i++)
        brr[i] = arr[i];

    // Sort the array brr[]
    sort(brr, brr + n);

    // Traverse the given array arr[]
    for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {

        int l = 0, r = n - 1, mid;

        // Perform the Binary Search
        while (l <= r) {

            // Calculate the value of
            // mid
            mid = (l + r) / 2;

            if (brr[mid] == arr[i]) {

                // Print the current
                // index and break
                cout << mid << ' ';
                break;
            }

            // Update the value of l
            else if (brr[mid] < arr[i]) {
                l = mid + 1;
            }

            // Update the value of r
            else {
                r = mid - 1;
            }
        }
    }
}

// Driver Code
int main()
{
    int arr[] = { 10, 20, 15, 12, 11, 50 };
    int N = sizeof(arr) / sizeof(arr[0]);
    convert(arr, N);

    return 0;
}
