In this post, we will solve HackerRank Sorted Subsegments Problem Solution.
Consider an array A = [a0, a1,…, an-1] of n integers. We perform q queries of the following type on A:
- Sort all the elements in the subsegment ali, ali+1,…, ari
Given A, can you find and print the value at index k (where 0 < k < n) after performing q queries?
Input Format
The first line contains three positive space-separated integers describing the respective values of n (the number of integers in A), q (the number of queries), and k (an index in A). The next line contains ʼn space-separated integers describing the respective values of
a0, a1,…, an-1
Each line j of the q subsequent lines contain two space-separated integers describing the respective li and ri values for query j.
Output Format
Print a single integer denoting the value of ak after processing all q queries.
Sample Input 0
3 1 1
3 2 1
0 1
Sample Output 0
3Explanation 0
A = [3, 2, 1]
There is only one query to perform. When we sort the subarray ranging from index 0 to index 1,we get A’ = [2, 3, 1]. We then print the element at index 1, which is 3.
Sample Input 1
4 2 0
4 3 2 1
0 2
1 3
Sample Output 1
2 Explanation 1
A = [4, 3, 2, 1]
There are q = 2 queries:
- When we sort the subarray ranging from index 0 to index 2, we get A’ = [2, 3, 4, 1].
- When we sort the subarray of A’ from index 1 to index 3, we get A” = [2, 1, 3, 4].
Having performed all of the queries, we print the element at index 0, which is 2.
