TCS CodeVita 2016 Round1 Question: Min Product Array



The task is to find the minimum sum of Products of two arrays of the same size, given that k modifications are allowed on the first array. In each modification, one array element of the first array can either be increased or decreased by 2.

Note- the product sum is Summation (A[i]*B[i]) for all i from 1 to n where n is the size of both arrays
Input Format: 
  1. First line of the input contains n and k delimited by whitespace
  2. Second line contains the Array A (modifiable array) with its values delimited by spaces
  3. Third line contains the Array B (non-modifiable array) with its values delimited by spaces

Output Format:

Output the minimum sum of products of the two arrays
Constraints:
  1. 1 ≤ N ≤ 10^5
  2. 0 ≤ |A[i]|, |B[i]| ≤ 10^5
  3. 0 ≤ K ≤ 10^9

Explanation for sample 1:

Here total numbers are 3 and total modifications allowed are 5. So we modified A[2], which is -3 and increased it by 10 (as 5 modifications are allowed). Now final sum will be
(1 * -2) + (2 * 3) + (7 * -5)
-2 + 6 - 35
-31

-31 is our final answer.

Explanation for sample 2:

Here total numbers are 5 and total modifications allowed are 3. So we modified A[1], which is 3 and decreased it by 6 (as 3 modifications are allowed).
Now final sum will be
(2 * 3) + (-3 * 4) + (4 * 2) + (5 * 3) + (4 * 2)
6 - 12 + 8 + 15 + 8
25

25 is our final answer. 

Simplified Pseudo Code:

1. Initialize maxDiff = 0, minimumSum = 0
2. For i to n
    i. product = A[i] * B[i]
    ii. if ( product < 0 && B[i] < 0 ) then
            temp = (A[i] +  2  * k ) * B[i]
        else if( product < 0 && A[i] < 0) then
            temp = (A[i] - 2 * k) * B[i]
        else if( product > 0 && A[i] < 0) then
               temp = (A[i] + 2 * k) * B[i]
        else if (product > 0 && A[i] > 0)
               temp = (A[i] - 2 * k)  * B[i]
    iii. diff =  abs(product - temp)
    iV. if( diff > maxDiff )
         maxDiff = diff
     V. minimumSum = minimumSum + product

3. minimumSum = minimumSum - maxDiff
