dealing with dups in end of the array - c

Question

This is the task I have got:
I need to write a function (not recursive) which has two parameters.
An array of integers.
An integer representing the size of the array.
The function will move the duplicates to an end of the array.
And will give the size of the different digits.
Example:
5 , 2 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 2, n = 7
we will get back 5 , 2 , 4 , 6 , 7 , 5 , 2 and 5
We must keep the original sort as it is (which means like in example 5 must)
It does not matter how we sort the duplicates ones but just keep the sort for the original array as it is)
The function has to print the number of different digits (like in example 5)
The the input range of numbers in array [-n,n]
I can only use 1 additional array for help.
It has to be O(n)
I tried it so many times and feel like am missing something. Would appreciate any advice/suggestions.
int moveDup(int* arr, int n)
{
int* C = (int*)calloc(n * 2 + 1, sizeof(int));
assert(C);
/*int* count = C + n;*/
int *D = arr[0];
int value = 0, count = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < n; i++)
{
value = arr[i];
if (C[value + n] == 0)
{
*D = arr[i];
D++;
count++;
}
C[value + n] = C[value + n] + 1;
}
while (1 < C[value + n])
{
*D = i;
D++;
C[value + n]--;
}
free(C);
return count;
}

Answer 1

This algorithm will produce the required results in O(n) arithmetic complexity:
Input is an array A with n elements indexed from A0 to An−1 inclusive. For each Ai, −n ≤ Ai ≤ n.
Create an array C that can be indexed from C−n to C+n, inclusive. Initialize C to all zeros.
Define a pointer D. Initialize D to point to A0.
For 0 ≤ i < n:
If CAi=0, copy Ai to where D points and advance D one element.
Increment CAi.
Set r to the number of elements D has been advanced from A0.
For −n ≤ i ≤ +n:
While 1 < CAi:
Copy i to where D points and advance D one element.
Decrement CAi.
Release C.
Return r. A contains the required values.
A sample implementation is:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#define NumberOf(a) (sizeof (a) / sizeof *(a))
int moveDuplicates(int Array[], int n)
{
int *memory = calloc(2*n+1, sizeof *Array);
if (!memory)
{
fprintf(stderr, "Error, unable to allocate memory.\n");
exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
}
int *count = memory + n;
int *destination = Array;
for (int i = 0; i < n; ++i)
// Count each element. If it is unique, move it to the front.
if (!count[Array[i]]++)
*destination++ = Array[i];
// Record how many unique elements were found.
int result = destination - Array;
// Append duplicates to back.
for (int i = -n; i <= n; ++i)
while (0 < --count[i])
*destination++ = i;
free(memory);
return result;
}
int main(void)
{
int Array[] = { 5, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 2 };
printf("There are %d different numbers.\n",
moveDuplicates(Array, NumberOf(Array)));
for (int i = 0; i < NumberOf(Array); ++i)
printf(" %d", Array[i]);
printf("\n");
}

Answer 2

here is the right answer, figured it out by myself.
int moveDup(int* arr, int n)
{
int* seen_before = (int*)calloc(n * 2 + 1, sizeof(int));
assert(seen_before);
int val = 0, count = 0, flag = 1;
int j = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < n; i++)
{
val = arr[i];
if (seen_before[arr[i] + n] == 0)
{
seen_before[arr[i] + n]++;
count++;
continue;
}
else if (flag)
{
j = i + 1;
flag = 0;
}
while (j < n)
{
if (seen_before[arr[j] + n] == 0)
{
count++;
seen_before[arr[j] + n]++;
swap(&arr[i], &arr[j]);
j++;
if (j == n)
{
free(seen_before);
return count;
}
break;
}
/*break;*/
j++;
if (j == n)
{
free(seen_before);
return count;
}
}
}
}
second right answer
int* mem = (int*)calloc(2 * n + 1, sizeof * arr);
assert(mem);
int* count = mem + n;
int* dest = arr;
for (i = 0; i < n; ++i)
{
if (count[arr[i]]++ == 0)
{
*dest = arr[i];
*dest++;
}
}
res = dest - arr;
for (i = -n; i <= n; ++i)
{
while (0 < --count[i])
{
*dest++ = i;
}
}
free(mem);
return res;
