Find the sum of array after performing every query

23 June 2025

Given an array arr[] of size N and Q queries where every query contains two integers X and Y, the task is to find the sum of an array after performing each Q queries such that for every query, the element in the array arr[] with value X is updated to Y. Find the sum of the array after every query.

Examples:

Input: arr[] ={1, 2, 3, 4}, Q = {(1, 2), (3, 4), (2, 4)}
Output: 11 12 16
Explanation:
1st operation is to replace each 1 with 2
So array becomes ar[ ] ={2, 2, 3, 4} ans sum = 11
2nd operation is to replace each 3 with 4
So array becomes ar[ ] ={2, 2, 4, 4} ans sum = 12
3rd operation is to replace each 2 with 4
So array becomes ar[ ] ={4, 4, 4, 4} ans sum = 16

Input: arr[] = {1}, Q = {(1, 2)}
Output: 2

Naive Approach: The naive approach is to traverse every query and for each query update each element in the array arr[] with value X to Y by traversing the array. Print the sum of all elements in arr[] after each query is performed.
Time Complexity: O(N*Q)
Auxiliary Space: O(1)

Efficient Approach: To optimize the above approach, the idea is to compute the sum of all the element in the array(say sum) arr[] and store the frequency of all elements in a unordered_map(Say M). For each query (X, Y) do the following:

Find the frequency of X from unordered_map M.
Decrease sum by X*M[X], for excluding the sum of X.
Increase sum by Y*M[X], for excluding the sum of Y.
Increase the frequency of Y in the map by M[X].
Finally, print the sum and remove X from the map M.

Below is the implementation of the above approach

C++14

// C++ program for the above approach
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Function that solves the given queries
void solve(int ar[], int n, int b[],
           int c[], int q)
{
    // This map will store the
    // frequency of each element
    unordered_map<int, int> mp;
 
    // sum stores the sum of
    // all elements of array
    int sum = 0;
 
    for (int x = 0; x < n; x++) {
        sum += ar[x];
        mp[ar[x]]++;
    }
 
    // Process the queries
    for (int x = 0; x < q; x++) {
 
        // Find occurrence of
        // b[x] from map
        int occur1 = mp[b[x]];
 
        // Decrease sum
        sum = sum - occur1 * b[x];
 
        // Erase b[x] from map
        mp.erase(b[x]);
 
        // Increase sum
        sum = sum + occur1 * c[x];
 
        // Increase frequency
        // of c[x] in map
        mp] += occur1;
 
        // Print sum
        cout << sum << " ";
    }
}
 
// Driver Code
int main()
{
    // Given arr[]
    int ar[] = { 1, 2, 3, 4 };
    int n = 4;
 
    // Given Queries
    int q = 3;
    int b[] = { 1, 3, 2 };
    int c[] = { 2, 4, 4 };
 
    // Function Call
    solve(ar, n, b, c, q);
    return 0;
}

    // sum stores the sum of
    // all elements of array

    for(int x = 0; x < n; x++)
