Problem :
Given an array of integers, you need to segregate odd and even numbers in an array.
Please note : Order of elements can be changed.
For example:
|
1 2 3 4 5 |
arr[] = {12, 17, 70, 15, 22, 65, 21, 90} Array after separating odd and even numbers : {12, 90, 70, 22, 15, 65, 21, 17} |
Algorithm:
Lets say array is arr[]
- Initialise two index variable , left=0 and right=arr.length-1
- Increment left variable until you get odd number
- Decrement right variable until you get even number.
- If left < right, swap arr[left] and arr[right]
- In the end, you will see that you have even numbers on left side and odd numbers on right side.
Java code to separate odd and even numbers in an array :

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 |
package org.arpit.java2blog; public class SeparateOddEvenMain { public static void main(String[] args) { int arr[]={12, 17, 70, 15, 22, 65, 21, 90}; System.out.println("Original Array: "); for (int i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) { System.out.print(arr[i]+" "); } arr=separateEvenOddNumbers(arr); System.out.println("nArray after separating even and odd numbers : "); for (int i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) { System.out.print(arr[i]+" "); } } public static int[] separateEvenOddNumbers(int arr[]) { int left=0; int right=arr.length-1; for (int i = 0; i < arr.length; i++) { while(arr[left]%2==0) { left++; } while(arr[right]%2==1) { right--; } if(left<right) { int temp=arr[left]; arr[left]=arr[right]; arr[right]=temp; } } return arr; } } |
when you run above program, you will get below output:
|
1 2 3 4 5 6 |
Original Array: 12 17 70 15 22 65 21 90 Array after separating even and odd numbers : 12 90 70 22 15 65 21 17 |

Thanks. Very helpful but how can we merge two unsorted arrays and also find smaller number of that unsorted array
