There are ‘N’ number of super heroes in DC and each superhero is building his/her team to have a last fight against Darkseid.

Each superhero has his/her criteria to take the candidate into their team in which each superhero has marked an interval (interval[i] = [lefti, righti], inclusive lefti and righti) of integers for which the candidate with a code name (code name is the integer value) will fit into their teams.

But superheroes give the candidates a chance to choose for which superhero team they are willing to work for.

All candidates decide to go into the team for which the size of the interval is minimum and their code name can reside inside the interval (The size of an interval is defined as the number of integers it contains, or more formally righti - lefti + 1).

If the candidate has such a code name that no interval exists to reside him/her. Then he will not be eligible to take part in the Justice League.

You are Batman and you are managing the whole process, so your task is to make a list which contains the smallest size of interval in which each candidate resides for a team.

Note :

If the code name does not match any interval then print -1 for that code name.

You are given an array ‘Arr’ consisting of ‘N’ distinct integers and a positive integer ‘K’. Find out Kth smallest and Kth largest element of the array. It is guaranteed that K is not greater than the size of the array.

Example:

Let ‘N’ = 4,  ‘Arr’ be [1, 2, 5, 4] and ‘K’ = 3.  
then the elements of this array in ascending order is [1, 2, 4, 5].  Clearly, the 3rd smallest and largest element of this array is 4 and 2 respectively.
Problem approach

Step 1 : I first used Modified Bubble Sort to run the outer loop at most k times.
Step 2 : And then Print the last k elements of the array obtained in step 1. Time Complexity : O(n*k)
Step 3 : Interviewer asked if I can Solve it using any other way.
Step 4 : Then I used Max heap and then he was satisfied with it.
