SDE - 1

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.

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 Harshad Mehta’s friend. He told you the price of a particular stock for the next ‘n’ days.

You are given an array ‘prices’ which such that ‘prices[i]’ denotes the price of the stock on the ith day.

You don't want to do more than 2 transactions. Find the maximum profit that you can earn from these transactions.

Note

1. Buying a stock and then selling it is called one transaction.

2. You are not allowed to do multiple transactions at the same time. This means you have to sell the stock before buying it again. 

Example:

Input: ‘n’ = 7, ‘prices’ = [3, 3, 5, 0, 3, 1, 4].

Output: 6

Explanation: 
The maximum profit can be earned by:
Transaction 1: Buying the stock on day 4 (price 0) and then selling it on day 5 (price 3). 
Transaction 2: Buying the stock on day 6 (price 1) and then selling it on day 6 (price 4).
Total profit earned will be (3 - 0) + ( 4 - 1) = 6. 

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.
