PROBLEM:
You are given an array B of length 2*N. You have an unknown array A which is sorted and contains distinct elements. You need to find out the array A. B contains all the medians of each prefix and suffix of the array A.
Determine whether B is a valid array of some array A. If yes find the array A else print −1.
EXPLANATION:
- The median of prefix A[1..1] is equal to A[1]
- The median of prefix A[1..2] is equal to A[1]
- The median of prefix A[1..3] is equal to A[2]
Consider index k,
if k - 1 \le N - k, then the median of A[1...2*k + 1] is equal to A[k] otherwise, the median of A[k - (N - k), N] is equal to A[k]
So for every index k, there exists some prefix or suffix whose median is equal to A[k].
So every element A[k] occurs in array B.
So check if B has N distinct elements. Then we get the array A from these N elements and then construct array B from A and check if it is equal to the given array B.
