Given two binary trees T and S, check whether tree S has exactly the same structure and node values with a subtree of T, i.e., check if tree S is a subtree of the tree T.

A subtree of a tree T is a tree S consisting of a node in T and all of its descendants in T. The subtree corresponding to the root node is the entire tree; the subtree corresponding to any other node is called a proper subtree.

You are given an integer array 'ARR' of size 'N' and an integer 'S'. Your task is to return the list of all pairs of elements such that each sum of elements of each pair equals 'S'.

Note:

Each pair should be sorted i.e the first value should be less than or equals to the second value. 

Return the list of pairs sorted in non-decreasing order of their first value. In case if two pairs have the same first value, the pair with a smaller second value should come first.

You have been given a matrix of ‘N’ rows and ‘M’ columns filled up with integers where every row is sorted in non-decreasing order. Your task is to find the overall median of the matrix i.e if all elements of the matrix are written in a single line, then you need to return the median of that linear array.

The median of a finite list of numbers is the "middle" number when those numbers are listed in order from smallest to greatest. If there is an odd number of observations, the middle one is picked. For example, consider the list of numbers [1, 3, 3, 6, 7, 8, 9]. This list contains seven numbers. The median is the fourth of them, which is 6.

You are given two strings S and X containing random characters. Your task is to find the smallest substring in S which contains all the characters present in X.

Example:

Let S = “abdd” and X = “bd”.

The windows in S which contain all the characters in X are: 'abdd', 'abd', 'bdd', 'bd'. 
Out of these, the smallest substring in S which contains all the characters present in X is 'bd'. 
All the other substring have a length larger than 'bd'.
