Given an array of n integers, both negative and positive, partition them into two different arrays without comparing any element with 0.
Examples:
Input : arr[] = [1, -2, 6, -7, 8]
Output : a[] = [1, 6, 8]
b[] = [-2, -7]
Algorithm:
- Initialize two empty vectors. Push the first element of the array into any of the two vectors. Suppose the first vector. Let it be denoted by x.
- For every other element, arr[1] to arr[n-1], check if its sign and the sign of x are the same or not. If the signs are the same, then push the element in the same vector. Else, push the element into the other vector.
- After the traversal of the two vectors has been completed, print both the vectors.
How to check if their signs are opposite or not?
Let the integers be checked to be denoted by x and y. The sign bit is 1 in negative numbers, and 0 in positive numbers. The XOR of x and y will have the sign bit is 1 if and only if they have opposite signs. In other words, the XOR of x and y will be a negative number if and only if x and y have opposite signs.
Implementation:
CPP
// CPP program to rearrange positive and// negative numbers without comparison// with 0.#include <bits/stdc++.h>using namespace std;bool oppositeSigns(int x, int y) { return ((x ^ y) < 0); }void partitionNegPos(int arr[], int n){ vector<int> a, b; // Push first element to a. a.push_back(arr[0]); // Now put all elements of same sign // in a[] and opposite sign in b[] for (int i = 1; i < n; i++) { if (oppositeSigns(a[0], arr[i])) b.push_back(arr[i]); else a.push_back(arr[i]); } // Print a[] and b[] for (int i = 0; i < a.size(); i++) cout << a[i] << ' '; cout << '\n'; for (int i = 0; i < b.size(); i++) cout << b[i] << ' ';}int main(){ int arr[] = { 1, -2, 6, -7, 8 }; int n = sizeof(arr) / sizeof(arr[0]); partitionNegPos(arr, n); return 0;} |

Output
1 6 8 -2 -7
Time Complexity: O(n)
Auxiliary Space: O(n)
Another approach : Using startswith()
Steps to solve the problem:
1. declare two vector po and ne to store the positive and negative element.
2. iterate through every element of the array as i:
* declare a string s and store i as string using to_string function.
* check if last occurrence if “-” in s from 0 is equal to 0 than push i in the ne.
* else push i in po.
3. iterate through i=0 until end in po:
* check if i == size of po -1 than print po[i] and break.
* else just print po[i].
4. iterate through i=0 until end in ne:
* check if i == size of ne -1 than print ne[i] and break.
* else just print ne[i].
