Sort numbers based on count of letters required to represent them in words

Given an array arr[] containing N non-negative integers, the task is to sort these integers according to the sum of the number of letters required to represent them.

Examples: 

Input: arr[] = {12, 10, 31, 18} 
Output: 12 31 10 18 
Explanation: 
12 -> one + two -> 3 + 3 = 6 
31 -> three + one -> 4 + 3 = 7 
10 -> one + zero -> 3 + 4 = 7 
18 -> one + eight -> 3 + 5 = 8

Input: arr[] = {12, 10} 
Output: 12 10 
Explanation: 
12 -> one + two -> 3 + 3 = 6 
10 -> one + zero -> 3 + 4 = 7 

Approach:  

  • Initially, an array of size ten is defined which contains the number of letters required to represent each digit.
  • Now, the given array is iterated and for every number, the number of letters required to represent them is found.
  • Now, this total count of characters and the number are added into a vector pair.
  • Finally, this vector pair is sorted in ascending order.

Below is the implementation of the above approach:

C++




// C++ program to sort the strings
// based on the numbers of letters
// required to represent them
 
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// letters[i] stores the count of letters
// required to represent the digit i
const int letters[] = { 4, 3, 3, 3, 4,
                        4, 3, 5, 5, 4 };
 
// Function to return the sum of
// letters required to represent N
int sumOfLetters(int n)
{
    int sum = 0;
    while (n > 0) {
        sum += letters[n % 10];
        n = n / 10;
    }
    return sum;
}
 
// Function to sort the array according to
// the sum of letters to represent n
void sortArr(int arr[], int n)
{
    // Vector to store the digit sum
    // with respective elements
    vector<pair<int, int> > vp;
 
    // Inserting digit sum with elements
    // in the vector pair
    for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
 
        // Making the vector pair
        vp.push_back(
            make_pair(
                sumOfLetters(
                    arr[i]),
                arr[i]));
    }
 
    // Sort the vector, this will sort the
    // pair according to the sum of
    // letters to represent n
    sort(vp.begin(), vp.end());
 
    // Print the sorted vector content
    for (int i = 0; i < vp.size(); i++)
        cout << vp[i].second << " ";
}
 
// Driver code
int main()
{
    int arr[] = { 12, 10, 31, 18 };
    int n = sizeof(arr) / sizeof(arr[0]);
 
    sortArr(arr, n);
 
    return 0;
}

Output:

Time Complexity: O(N * log(N)), where N is the size of the array.
Auxiliary Space: O(N) because extra space for vector vp is being used
