Given an array of N integers. We need to find an index such that Frequency of Even numbers on its left side is equal to the frequency of even numbers on its right sides Or frequency of odd numbers on its left side is equal to the frequency of Odd numbers on its right sides. If No such index exist in an array print -1 Else print required index. Note-(If more than one index exist then return index that comes first)
Examples:
Input : arr[] = {4, 3, 2, 1, 2, 4}
Output : index = 2
Explanation: At index 2, there is one
odd number on its left and one odd on
its right.
Input : arr[] = { 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 3, 12}
Output : index = 3
Method 1 : (Simple Approach)
Run two loops. For every element, count evens and odds on its left and right sides.

Output:

Time Complexity : O(n*n)

Method 2:(Efficient solution)
- Create two vectors of pair types i.e v_left and v_right
- v_left[i] stores the frequency of odd and even numbers of its left sides
- v_right[i] stores the frequency of odd and even numbers of its right sides
- Now check (v_left[i].first == v_right[i].first || v_left[i].second == v_right[i].second)
if True return i - At last if no such index exist return -1

Output:
index = 2
Time Complexity : O(n)
Auxiliary Space : O(n)
Further optimization : We can optimize the space used in the program. Instead of making vectors of pairs, we can make vectors of integers. We can use the fact that number of odd elements is equal total elements minus total number of even elements. Similarly, number of even elements is equal total elements minus total number of odd elements.
