Count array elements exceeding sum of preceding K elements

Last Updated : 07 May, 2021

Given an array arr[] of size N, and an integer K, the task is to find the count of array elements arr[i] which are greater than (arr[i - 1] + arr[i - 2] + ... + arr[ i - K]).

Examples:

Input: arr[] = {2, 3, 8, 10, -2, 7, 5, 5, 9, 15}, K = 2
Output: 2
Explanation:
arr[2](> arr[1] + arr[0]) and arr[9](> arr[8] + arr[7]) are the two array elements exceeding sum of preceding K(= 2) elements.

Input: arr[] = {17, -2, 16, -8, 19, 11, 5, 15, -9, 24}, K = 3
Output: 2

Approach: Follow the steps below to solve the problem:

Calculate and store the prefix sum of the given array.
Traverse the array elements present in the indices [K, N - 1].
For every array element, check if arr[i] exceeds (arr[i - 1] + arr[i - 2] + ... + arr[i - K]) or not. Therefore, the task is to check if arr[i] exceeds prefix[i - 1] - prefix[i - (K + 1)] for K > i > N or if arr[i] exceeds prefix[i - 1] for i = K.
Increment count for array element satisfying the above conditions. Finally, print the required count.

Below is the implementation of the above approach:

C++

// C++ program for the above approach

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

// Function to count array elements
// exceeding sum of preceding K elements
int countPrecedingK(int a[], int n, int K)
{
    int prefix[n];
    prefix[0] = a[0];

    // Iterate over the array
    for (int i = 1; i < n; i++) {

        // Update prefix sum
        prefix[i]
            = prefix[i - 1] + a[i];
    }

    int ctr = 0;

    // Check if arr[K] >
    // arr[0] + .. + arr[K - 1]
    if (prefix[K - 1] < a[K])

        // Increment count
        ctr++;

    for (int i = K + 1; i < n; i++) {
        // Check if arr[i] >
        // arr[i - K - 1] + .. + arr[i - 1]
        if (prefix[i - 1] - prefix[i - K - 1]
            < a[i])

            // Increment count
            ctr++;
    }

    return ctr;
}

// Driver Code
int main()
{
    // Given array
    int arr[] = { 2, 3, 8, 10, -2,
                  7, 5, 5, 9, 15 };

    int N = sizeof(arr) / sizeof(arr[0]);
    int K = 2;

    cout << countPrecedingK(arr, N, K);

    return 0;
}

Java

// Java program for the above approach
class GFG{

// Function to count array elements
// exceeding sum of preceding K elements
static int countPrecedingK(int a[], int n,
                           int K)
{
    int []prefix = new int[n];
    prefix[0] = a[0];

    // Iterate over the array
    for(int i = 1; i < n; i++) 
    {
        
        // Update prefix sum
        prefix[i] = prefix[i - 1] + a[i];
    }

    int ctr = 0;

    // Check if arr[K] >
    // arr[0] + .. + arr[K - 1]
    if (prefix[K - 1] < a[K])

        // Increment count
        ctr++;

    for(int i = K + 1; i < n; i++)
    {
        
        // Check if arr[i] >
        // arr[i - K - 1] + .. + arr[i - 1]
        if (prefix[i - 1] - 
            prefix[i - K - 1] < a[i])

            // Increment count
            ctr++;
    }
    return ctr;
}

// Driver Code
public static void main(String[] args)
{
    
    // Given array
    int arr[] = { 2, 3, 8, 10, -2,
                  7, 5, 5, 9, 15 };

    int N = arr.length;
    int K = 2;

    System.out.print(countPrecedingK(arr, N, K));
}
}
