Majority element in a circular array of 0’s and 1’s

Given a circular array containing only 0’s and 1’s, of size n where n = p*q (p and q are both odd integers). The task is to check if there is a way such that 1 will be in majority after applying the following operations:

  1. Divide circular array into p subarrays each of size q.
  2. In each subarray, the number which is in majority will get stored into array B.
  3. Now, 1 will said to be in majority if it is in majority into array B.

Note: A number is in majority in an array if it occurs more than half times of the size of an array.

Examples: 

Input: p = 3, q = 3, array[] = {0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 1, 1, 0, 0} 
Output: Yes 
Assume index of the array from 1 to N, Since the array is circular so index N and 1 will be adjacent. 
Divide this circular array into subarray in this way :- 
{2, 3, 4}, {5, 6, 7} and {8, 9, 1}. [These are the index of elements] 
In {2, 3, 4}, 1 is in majority, 
in {5, 6, 7}, again 1 is in majority and 
In {8, 9, 1}, 0 is in majority. 
Now insert 1, 1, 0 into array B so array B = {1, 1, 0} 
In array B, 1 is the majority element so print Yes.

Input: p = 3, q = 3, array[] = {1, 0, 0, 1, 1, 0, 1, 0, 0} 
Output: No 
No matter how you divide this circular subarray, 
1 will not be in majority. Hence, the answer is No. 

Approach:

  1. First of all, iterate over the circular array and count the total number of 1’s in each of p subarray(of size q).
  2. Store this number into another array (of size p).
  3. If in this case, 1 is in majority then, print yes.
  4. Else take another set by moving the previous set’s index 1 unit either increasing or decreasing it, and keep track of only those indices which are new in given set and update number of 1’s in the array.
  5. Repeat the 2nd and 3rd step.

We will repeat q times if there is no majority of 1 found until that, the answer would be NO, else ( like in the previous example case ) the answer would be 1. 
Since at the maximum, we can repeat this process q times and each time we are tracking only two elements in each of p subarray.

Explanation: 

In given example-1, we will divide circular subarray as [indices] => {1, 2, 3}, {4, 5, 6}, {7, 8, 9} and store number of 1’s in another array which are [1, 2, 1] in subarrays respectively.
Taking another set in example 1 by increasing 1 unit so set will be {2, 3, 4}, {5, 6, 7}, {8, 9, 1} now in set 1 only change is inclusion of element 4 and removal of element 1, we will only track these so updated number of 1’s will be 2, 2, 0.

Below is the implementation of above approach:

    // subarrays each of size q ;
    int k = 0;
 
    // Loop to calculate total number

    while (k < p) {

            cout << "Yes" << endl;
 
            return;
        }

    if (found == 0) {
