initial call to this function is arrange(arr,n/3,n/3) where n is actually
3*n as per the question , like n=30 for a1,...,a10,b1,...,b10,c1,....c10
The idea used here is that for some i-1 ranging from 1 to 9 for above
example, i-1 goes to 3*(i-1), n+i-1 to 3*(i-1) +1, and 2*n+i-1 to
3*(i-1)+2.. recursive function calls are used
void arrange(int arr[], int n, int i)
{
if(i == 1)
{
arr[1] = arr[n];
arr[2] = arr[2*n];
return;
}
int a = arr[i - 1];
int b = arr[n + i - 1];
int c = arr[2*n + i - 1];
arrange(arr, n, i - 1);
int x = 3 * (i - 1);
arr[x] = a;
arr[x + 1] = b;
arr[x + 2] = c;
}
