Encuentre la primera y la última posición de un elemento en una array ordenada

Dada una array ordenada con elementos posiblemente duplicados, la tarea es encontrar índices de la primera y última aparición de un elemento x en la array dada. 

Ejemplos: 

Input : arr[] = {1, 3, 5, 5, 5, 5, 67, 123, 125}    
        x = 5
Output : First Occurrence = 2
         Last Occurrence = 5

Input : arr[] = {1, 3, 5, 5, 5, 5, 7, 123, 125 }    
        x = 7
Output : First Occurrence = 6
         Last Occurrence = 6

El enfoque ingenuo consiste en ejecutar un bucle for y verificar los elementos dados en una array.  

1. Run a for loop and for i = 0 to n-1
2. Take first = -1 and last = -1 
3. When we find element first time then we update first = i 
4. We always update last=i whenever we find the element.
5. We print first and last.

Usando ArrayList

Agregue todos los elementos de la array a ArrayList y usando el método indexOf() y lastIndexOf() encontraremos la primera posición y la última posición del elemento en la array.

Implementación:

Java

// Java program for the above approach
import java.util.ArrayList;
public class GFG {
    public static int first(ArrayList list, int x)
    {
        // return first occurrence index
        // of element x in ArrayList
        // using method indexOf()
        return list.indexOf(x);
    }
    public static int last(ArrayList list, int x)
    {
        // return last occurrence index
        // of element x in ArrayList
        // using method lastIndexOf()
        return list.lastIndexOf(x);
    }
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        int arr[] = { 1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 3, 4, 7, 8, 8 };
        ArrayList<Integer> clist = new ArrayList<>();
  
        // adding elements of array to ArrayList
        for (int i : arr)
            clist.add(i);
        int x = 8;
  
        // displaying the first occurrence
        System.out.println("First Occurrence = "
                           + first(clist, x));
  
        // displaying the last occurrence
        System.out.println("Last Occurrence = "
                           + last(clist, x));
    }
}
Producción

First Occurrence = 8
Last Occurrence = 9

 Otro enfoque que utiliza las funciones STL de c ++ límite inferior y superior

Implementación:

C++

#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
  
void findFirstAndLast(int arr[], int n, int x)
{
    int first, last;
    // to store first occurrence
    first = lower_bound(arr, arr + n, x) - arr;
    // to store last occurrence
    last = upper_bound(arr, arr + n, x) - arr - 1;
  
    if (first == n) {
        first = -1;
        last = -1;
    }
    cout << "First Occurrence = " << first
         << "\nLast Occurrence = " << last;
}
  
// Driver code
int main()
{
    int arr[] = { 1, 2, 2, 2, 2, 3, 4, 7, 8, 8 };
    int n = sizeof(arr) / sizeof(int);
    int x = 8;

Otro enfoque es usar la función «índice()» de Python3, que busca un elemento dado en la Lista dada y devuelve el índice de su primera aparición en la lista. Usando la función “index( )”, encontramos la Primera Ocurrencia, y usando la función “index( )” en la Lista invertida, encontramos la Última Ocurrencia.
