I am facing some difficulties while solving this problem. Can Anyone Help me?
Here's my Pseudo Code(Below): I have used Binary Search to approach the problem. I am applying Search over range 0-10^9 and inserting my mid-value at the position where arr[i]= -1 and taking the absolute differences if I find that the maximum absolute difference after replacing -1 with mid was less than my temporary answer, I just update my value. But It's giving Wrong answers. Please Someone explain Where I'm Getting Wrong. What changes Do I need to make...
#define ll long long
#define rep(i,a,b) for(ll i=a; i<b; ++i)
ll check(ll mid, ll *arr, ll n)
{
ll ans=0;
rep(i,1,n)
{
if(arr[i]==-1 and arr[i-1]!=-1) ans=max(ans,abs(mid-arr[i-1]));
if(arr[i]!=-1)
{
if(arr[i-1]==-1) ans=max(ans,abs(arr[i]-mid));
else ans=max(ans,abs(arr[i]-arr[i-1]));
}
}return ans;
}
void solve()
{
ll n; cin>>n;
ll arr[n];
rep(i,0,n) cin>>arr[i];
ll low=0,high=1000000000,ans=1e9+7,k;
while(low<high)
{
ll mid=(low+high)/2;
ll temp=check(mid, arr, n);
if(temp<=ans)
{
ans=min(temp,ans);
k=mid;
high=mid;
}
else low=mid+1;
}cout<<ans<<" "<<k<<"\n";
}
Thanks for Help !!!!
