Count pairs such that difference between them and indices are different

Given an array arr[] of size N, the task is to count all pair of indices (i, j) such that i < j and j – i != arr[j] – arr[i].

Examples:

Input: arr[] = {4, 1, 3, 3}
Output: 5
Explanation:
The pair (0, 1) is a valid pair since 1 – 0 != 1 – 4.
The pair (0, 2) is a valid pair since 2 – 0 != 3 – 4, 2 != -1.
The pair (0, 3) is a valid pair since 3 – 0 != 3 – 4, 3 != -1.
The pair (1, 2) is a valid pair since 2 – 1 != 3 – 1, 1 != 2.
The pair (2, 3) is a valid pair since 3 – 2 != 3 – 3, 1 != 0.
There are a total of 5 valid pairs, so we return 5.

Input: arr = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5}
Output: 0
Explanation: There are no valid pairs.

An approach using Hashing:

As per the valid pair is concerned the value of  j – i != arr[j] – arr[i], This can also be written as j – arr[j] != i – arr[i]. 

We’ll use map to keep the count of element that has value (i – arr[i]) occurred till i^th index. If we are at i^th index then the valid pair for i^th element would be just (Total number of pairs till i^th index – count of element that has value (i – arr[i]) till i^th index).

Follow the steps below to implement the above idea:

• Initialize a map for storing the value of (i – arr[i])
• Initialize a variable result for storing the count of all valid pairs
• Iterate over the given array
  • Store the count of all the previous element that has value (i – arr[i]) into a variable count, as this will act as all invalid pair with the element at the i^th index. 
  • Add all valid pairs by removing the invalid pairs into the result (i.e, result += i – count).
  • Increment the count of (i – arr[i]) into map for every i^th index.
• Return the result.

Below is the implementation of the above approach.

C++

// C++ code to implement the approach

#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;

// Function to find the number of valid pairs
long long validPairs(vector<int>& arr)
{
    // Initialize a map for storing the
    // value of (i - arr[i])
    unordered_map<int, int> unmap;

    // Initialize a variable result for
    // storing the count of all valid
    // pairs
    long long result = 0;

    // Iterate over the given array
    for (int i = 0; i < arr.size(); i++) {

        // Calculate number of time value
        // (i - arr[i]) has occurred till
        // ith index All the previous
        // element that has value
        // (i - arr[i]) will be act as
        // invalid Pair with element at
        // ith index.
        long long count = unmap[i - arr[i]];

        // Add all valid pair by remove
        // the invalid pairs
        result += i - count;

        // Store the value of (i - arr[i])
        // into map
        unmap[i - arr[i]]++;
    }

    // Return the result.
    return result;
}

// Driver's code
int main()
{
    vector<int> arr = { 4, 1, 3, 3 };

    // Function Call
    cout << validPairs(arr);

    return 0;
}
