your check method need some correction

   public static void  check(int a[],int n)
    {

   

     int f=0;
    int sum=1;
    for(int i=0;i<=(n/2)+1;i++) //upto n/2
    {
        if(a[i]!=a[n-i-1]&&a[i]==sum)
        {
            if(ar[i]!=ar[i+1])
	      sum++;
        }
        else
        {
	 	f=1;
	 	break;
	 }

   }
  

     if(f==0&&(sum==8||sum==7))
        System.out.println("yes");
       else
        System.out.println("no");
    }

but Ai is between [1,10]
Ai=8 is possible ryt??
I tried for this too!
if(a[i]<1 || a[i]>10)

but still showing error !!

Rainbow array MUST have elements ONLY in range of [1,7] . Read the question carefully.

6

ok, but then … when I consider that range to be a[I] to [1,7].I am getting wrong.

if(a[i]<1 || a[I]>7)
{
c++;
break;
}

?? I am confused !!..

Array will have elements from [1,10] . But if its rainbow array, it will have elements only in range [1,7]. You have to check if inputted array is rainbow or not, so obviously you must do check for "if elements are in range [1,7].
