SDE - Intern

You are given an array/list ARR consisting of N integers. Your task is to find the length of the longest decreasing subsequence.

A subsequence is a sequence of numbers obtained by deleting zero or more elements from the array/list, keeping the relative positions of elements same as it was in the initial sequence. A decreasing subsequence is a subsequence in which every element is strictly less than the previous number.

Note:

There can be more than one subsequences with the longest length.

For example:-

For the given array [5, 0, 3, 2, 9], the longest decreasing subsequence is of length 3, i.e. [5, 3, 2]

Note:

Try to solve the problem in O(N log N) time complexity.

You are given an array arr of length N. You have to return a list of integers containing the NGE(next greater element) of each element of the given array. The NGE for an element X is the first greater element on the right side of X in the array. Elements for which no greater element exists, consider the NGE as -1.

For Example :

If the given array is [1, 3, 2], then you need to return [3, -1, -1]. Because for 1, 3 is the next greater element, for 3 it does not have any greater number to its right, and similarly for 2.

You have been given a Binary Search Tree of integers. You are supposed to convert it to a greater sum tree such that the value of every node in the given BST is replaced with the sum of the values of all the nodes which are greater than the value of the current node in the tree.

A Binary Search Tree is a tree, whose internal nodes each store a value greater than all the values in the node's left subtree and less than those in its right subtree.

Note :

You need to modify the given tree only. You are not allowed to create a new tree.

For example:

For the given binary search tree

11 will be replaced by {15 + 29 + 35 + 40}, i.e. 119.
2 will be replaced by {7 + 11 + 15 + 29 + 35 + 40}, i.e. 137.
29 will be replaced by {35 + 40}, i.e. 75.
1 will be replaced by {2 + 7 + 11 + 15 + 29 + 35 + 40}, i.e. 139.
7 will be replaced by {11 + 15 + 29 + 35 + 40}, i.e. 130.
15 will be replaced by {15 + 29 + 35 + 40}, i.e. 104.
40 will be replaced by 0 {as there is no node with a value greater than 40}.
35 will be replaced by {40}, i.e. 40.

You have a binary tree of 'N' unique nodes and a Start node from where the tree will start to burn. Given that the Start node will always exist in the tree, your task is to print the time (in minutes) that it will take to burn the whole tree.

It is given that it takes 1 minute for the fire to travel from the burning node to its adjacent node and burn down the adjacent node.

For Example :

For the given binary tree: [1, 2, 3, -1, -1, 4, 5, -1, -1, -1, -1]
Start Node: 3

    1
   / \
  2   3
     / \
    4   5

Output: 2

Explanation :
In the zeroth minute, Node 3 will start to burn.

After one minute, Nodes (1, 4, 5) that are adjacent to 3 will burn completely.

After two minutes, the only remaining Node 2 will be burnt and there will be no nodes remaining in the binary tree. 

So, the whole tree will burn in 2 minutes.

Given a binary tree and the value of two nodes, find the distance between the given two nodes of the Binary Tree.

Distance between two nodes is defined as the minimum number of edges in the path from one node to another.
