My issue
Input:
3
3
1 1 1
5
1 2 3 4 5
5
1 1 2 2 1
Output
-1
1 4 2 5 3
1 2 1 2 1
Can someone explain why this output is incorrect?
My code
#include <iostream>
#include<bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
int main() {
int t;
cin>>t;
while(t--){
int n;
cin>>n;
vector<int>v(n, 0);
for(int i=0; i<n; i++) cin>>v[i];
sort(v.begin(), v.end());
vector<int>a(n, 0);
int j=0;
for(int i=0; i<n ;i+=2){
a[i] = v[j++];
}
for(int i=1; i<n; i+=2){
a[i] = v[j++];
}
bool flag = 1;
for(int i=1; i<n-1; i++){
if( (a[i] > a[i+1] && a[i] > a[i-1]) || (a[i] < a[i+1] && a[i] < a[i-1]) ){
flag = 1;
}
else {
flag = 0;
break ;
}
}
if(!flag) {
cout<<-1<<endl;
}
else{
for(int i=0; i<n; i++){
cout<<a[i];
if(i != n-1) cout<<" ";
}
cout<<endl;
}
}
return 0;
}

your logic is slightly wrong .
plzz refer the following solution for better understanding of the logic.
