Smallest number to be added in first Array modulo M to make frequencies of both Arrays equal

Last Updated : 17 Jun, 2021

Given two arrays A[] and B[] consisting of N positive integers and an integer M, the task is to find the minimum value of X such that operation (A[i] + X) % M performed on every element of array A[] results in the formation of an array with frequency of elements same as that in another given array B[].

Examples:

Input: N = 4, M = 3, A[] = {0, 0, 2, 1}, B[] = {2, 0, 1, 1}
Output: 1
Explanation:
Modifying the given array A[] to { (0+1)%3, (0+1)%3, (2+1)%3, (1+1)%3 }
= { 1%3, 1%3, 3%3, 2%3 },
= { 1, 1, 0, 2 }, which is equivalent to B[] in terms of frequency of distinct elements.

Input: N = 5, M = 10, A[] = {0, 0, 0, 1, 2}, B[] = {2, 1, 0, 0, 0}
Output: 0
Explanation:
Frequency of elements in both the arrays are already equal.

Approach: This problem can be solved by using Greedy Approach. Follow the steps below:

There will be at least one possible value of X such that for every index i, ( A[i] + X ) % M = B[0].
Find all the possible values of X that convert each element of A[] to the first element of B[].
Check whether these possible X values satisfy the other remaining values of B[].
If there are multiple answers, take the minimum value of X.

Below is the implementation of the above approach:

C++

   // C++ program for the above approach
 
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Utility function to find
// the answer
int moduloEquality(int A[], int B[],
                   int n, int m)
{
 
    // Stores the frequencies of
    // array elements
    map<int, int> mapA, mapB;
 
    for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
        mapA[A[i]]++;
        mapB[B[i]]++;
    }
 
    // Stores the possible values
    // of X
    set<int> possibleValues;
 
    int FirstElement = B[0];
    for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
        int cur = A[i];
 
        // Generate possible positive
        // values of X
        possibleValues
            .insert(
                cur > FirstElement
                    ? m - cur + FirstElement
                    : FirstElement - cur);
    }
 
    // Initialize answer
    // to MAX value
    int ans = INT_MAX;
 
    for (auto it :
         possibleValues) {
 
        // Flag to check if the
        // current element of the
        // set can be considered
        bool possible = true;
 
        for (auto it2 : mapA) {
 
            // If the frequency of an element
            // in A[] is not equal to that
            // in B[] after the operation
            if (it2.second
                != mapB[(it2.first + it) % m]) {
 
                // Current set element
                // cannot be considered
                possible = false;
                break;
            }
        }
 
        // Update minimum value of X
        if (possible) {
            ans = min(ans, it);
        }
    }
    return ans;
}
 
// Driver Code
int main()
{
    int n = 4;
    int m = 3;
 
    int A[] = { 0, 0, 2, 1 };
    int B[] = { 2, 0, 1, 1 };
 
    cout << moduloEquality(A, B, n, m)
         << endl;
 
    return 0;
}
