1. Sort Odd-Even Ways

Moderate
0/80
Asked in companies
CiscoIncedo Inc.

You are given an array ‘ARR’ of size ‘N’. The array contains ‘N’ positive integers.

You want to sort the array in ascending order by doing some operations.

In one operation, you can select two adjacent indexes and swap them if the parity of both values is not the same. In other words, you can only swap two elements if they are adjacent and one is odd, and the other is even.

Can you tell if you can sort the array?

Example :
N = 4
ARR =[ 1, 0, 3, 2 ]
If we swap ‘1’ and ‘0’ and ‘3’ and ‘2’, after applying these operations, our array becomes sorted. So ‘ANS’ is ‘1’.
Problem approach

Step 1 - Partition the input array such that all odd elements are moved to left and all even elements on right. This step takes O(n).
Step 2 - Once the array is partitioned, sort left and right parts individually. This step takes O(n Log n).

Bubble Sort is one of the sorting algorithms that works by repeatedly swapping the adjacent elements of the array if they are not in sorted order.

You are given an unsorted array consisting of N non-negative integers. Your task is to sort the array in non-decreasing order using the Bubble Sort algorithm.

For Example:
Bubble Sort implementation for the given array:  {6,2,8,4,10} is shown below :-
