Queries to print count of distinct array elements after replacing element at index P by a given element

Given an array arr[] consisting of N integers and 2D array queries[][] consisting of Q queries of the form {p, x}, the task for each query is to replace the element at position p with x and print the count of distinct elements present in the array.

Examples:

Input: Q = 3, arr[] = {2, 2, 5, 5, 4, 6, 3}, queries[][] = {{1, 7}, {6, 8}, {7, 2}}
Output: {6, 6, 5}
Explanation:
The total distinct elements after each query (one-based indexing): 
Query 1: p = 1 and x = 7. Therefore, arr[1] = 7 and arr[] becomes {7, 2, 5, 5, 4, 6, 3}. Hence, distinct elements = 6.
Query 2: p = 6 and x = 8. Therefore, arr[6] = 8 and arr[] becomes {7, 2, 5, 5, 4, 8, 3}. Hence, distinct elements = 6.
Query 3: p = 7 and x = 2. Therefore, arr[7] = 2 and arr[] becomes {7, 2, 5, 5, 4, 8, 2}. Hence, distinct elements = 5. 

 Input: Q = 2, arr[] = {1, 1, 1, 1}, queries[][] = {{2, 2}, {3, 3}}
Output: {2, 3}
Explanation:
The total distinct elements after each query (one-based indexing): 
Query 1: p = 2 and x = 2. Therefore, arr[2] = 2 and arr[] becomes {1, 2, 1, 1}. Hence, distinct elements = 2.
Query 2: p = 3 and x = 3. Therefore, arr[3] = 3 and arr[] becomes {1, 2, 3, 1}. Hence, distinct elements = 3.

Naive approach: The simplest approach is to update the given array for each query and insert all the elements of the updated array into a Set. Print the size of the set as the count of distinct array elements.

Below is the implementation of the above approach:

C++




// C++ Program to implement
// the above approach
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
#define R 3
#define C 2
 
// Function to the total
// number of distinct elements
// after each query update
void Distinct(int arr[], int n,
              int p, int x)
{
  // Update the array
  arr[p - 1] = x;
 
  // Store distinct elements
  set<int> set;
  for (int i = 0; i < n; i++)
  {
    set.insert(arr[i]);
  }
 
  // Print the size
  cout << set.size() << " ";
}
 
// Function to print the count of
// distinct elements for each query
void updateArray(int arr[], int n,
                 int queries[R][C],
                 int q)
{
  // Traverse the query
  for (int i = 0; i < q; i++)
  {
    // Function Call to update
    // each query
    Distinct(arr, n,
             queries[i][0],
             queries[i][1]);
  }
}
 
// Driver Code
int main()
{
  // Given array arr[]
  int arr[] = {2, 2, 5,
               5, 4, 6, 3};
 
  int N = sizeof(arr) /
          sizeof(arr[0]);
 
  int Q = 3;
 
  // Given queries
  int queries[R][C] = {{1, 7},
                       {6, 8},
                       {7, 2}};
 
  // Function Call

Efficient Approach: To optimize the above approach, the idea is to store the frequency of each array element in a Map and then traverse each query and print the size of the map after each update. Follow the below steps to solve the problem:

  • Store the frequency of each element in a Map M.
  • For each query {p, x}, perform the following steps:
    • Decrease the frequency of arr[p] by 1 in the Map M. If its frequency reduces to 0, remove that element from the Map.
    • Update arr[p] = x and increment the frequency of x by 1 in the Map if it is already present. Otherwise, add element x in the Map setting its frequency as 1.
  • For each query in the above steps, print the size of the Map as the count of the distinct array elements.

Below is the implementation of the above approach:

C++




// C++ Program to implement

    // Store the frequency of

    map[arr[i]]++;
  }
}
 
// Function to update an array
// and map & to find the
// distinct elements
void Distinct(int arr[], int n,
              int p, int x,
              map<int, int> &map)
{
  // Decrease the element
  // if it was previously
  // present in Map
  map[arr[p - 1]] =
          map[arr[p - 1]] - 1;

  // Add the new element

  map[x]++;
