Count subarrays having total distinct elements same as original array

Last Updated : 09 Mar, 2023

Given an array of n integers. Count the total number of sub-arrays having total distinct elements, the same as that of the total distinct elements of the original array.

Examples:

Input  : arr[] = {2, 1, 3, 2, 3}
Output : 5
Total distinct elements in array is 3
Total sub-arrays that satisfy the condition 
are:  Subarray from index 0 to 2
      Subarray from index 0 to 3
      Subarray from index 0 to 4
      Subarray from index 1 to 3
      Subarray from index 1 to 4

Input  : arr[] = {2, 4, 5, 2, 1}
Output : 2

Input  : arr[] = {2, 4, 4, 2, 4}
Output : 9

A Naive approach is to run a loop one inside another and consider all sub-arrays and, for every sub-array, count all distinct elements by using hashing and compare them with the total distinct elements of the original array.

Initialise an unordered set unst1 to count distinct elements.
Initialise a variable totalDist for total number of distinct elements in given array.
Generate all the subarray and for every element count the distinct element in that subarray.
Check if the number of distinct elements of the current subarray is equal to totalDist then increment the count by 1.
Finally, return count.

Below is the implementation of the above approach:

C++

// C++ program Count total number of sub-arrays
// having total distinct elements same as that
// original array.
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;

// Function to calculate distinct sub-array
int countDistictSubarray(int arr[], int n)
{
    unordered_set<int> unst1;
    for (int i = 0; i < n; i++)
        unst1.insert(arr[i]);

    int totalDist = unst1.size();
    int count = 0;

    for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
        unordered_set<int> unst;
        for (int j = i; j < n; j++) {
            unst.insert(arr[j]);
            if (unst.size() == totalDist)
                count++;
        }
    }

    return count;
}

// Driver code
int main()
{
    int arr[] = { 2, 1, 3, 2, 3 };
    int n = sizeof(arr) / sizeof(arr[0]);

    cout << countDistictSubarray(arr, n) << endl;
    return 0;

An efficient approach is to use a sliding window to count all distinct elements in one iteration.

Find the number of distinct elements in the entire array. Let this number be k <= N. Initialize Left = 0, Right = 0 and window = 0.
Increment right until the number of distinct elements in the range [Left=0, Right] is equal to k(or window size would not equal to k), let this right be R₁. Now, since the sub-array [Left = 0, R₁] has k distinct elements, so all the sub-arrays starting at Left = 0 and ending after R₁ will also have k distinct elements. Thus, add N-R₁+1 to the answer because [Left.. R₁], [Left.. R₁+1], [Left.. R₁+2] ... [Left.. N-1] contains all the distinct numbers.
Now keeping R₁ same, increment left. Decrease the frequency of the previous element i.e., arr[0], and if its frequency becomes 0, decrease the window size. Now, the sub-array is [Left = 1, Right = R₁].
Repeat the same process from step 2 for other values of Left and Right till Left < N.

        vis[arr[i]] = 1;
    int k = vis.size();

    // Reset the container by removing all elements
    vis.clear();
