Hi, @There,

Given an array of size n, arrange the first k elements of the array in ascending order and the remaining n-k elements in descending order.
Examples: 
 

Input: arr[] = {5, 4, 6, 2, 1, 3, 8, 9, -1}, k = 4 
Output: 2 4 5 6 9 8 3 1 -1
Input: arr[] = {5, 4, 6}, k = 2 
Output: 4 5 6 

# Python 3 program to sort first

# k elements in increasing order

# and remaining n-k elements in

# decreasing


# Function to sort the array

def printOrder(arr, n, k):


    len1 = k

    len2 = n - k

    arr1 = [0] * k

    arr2 = [0] * (n - k)


    # Store the k elements

    # in an array

    for i in range(k):

        arr1[i] = arr[i]


    # Store the remaining n-k

    # elements in an array

    for i in range(k, n):

        arr2[i - k] = arr[i]


    # sorting the array from

    # 0 to k-1 places

    arr1.sort()


    # sorting the array from

    # k to n places

    arr2.sort()


    # storing the values in the

    # final array arr

    for i in range(n):

        if (i < k):

            arr[i] = arr1[i]


        else :

            arr[i] = arr2[len2 - 1]

            len2 -= 1

     

    # printing the array

    for i in range(n):

        print(arr[i], end = " ")


# Driver code

if __name__ == "__main__":

    arr = [ 5, 4, 6, 2, 1,

            3, 8, 9, -1 ]

    k = 4


    n = len(arr)


    printOrder(arr, n, k)

Output:

2 4 5 6 9 8 3 1 -1
