You have been given a Binary Tree of 'n' nodes, where the nodes have integer values



Example :
If the input tree is as depicted in the picture:

The Left View of the tree will be:  2 35 2 
Problem approach

It is a very basic question in which we have to print the first node of every new level. This can be easily solved using recursion. Check if it's a new level then print the node value. For checking if it's a new level takes an argument in the function only whose value doesn't change in recursion

You are given an array 'arr' of length 'n', consisting of integers.


A subarray is a contiguous segment of an array. In other words, a subarray can be formed by removing 0 or more integers from the beginning and 0 or more integers from the end of an array.


Find the sum of the subarray (including empty subarray) having maximum sum among all subarrays.


The sum of an empty subarray is 0.


Example :
Input: 'arr' = [1, 2, 7, -4, 3, 2, -10, 9, 1]

Output: 11

Explanation: The subarray yielding the maximum sum is [1, 2, 7, -4, 3, 2].

You and your friend Ninjax are playing a game of coins. Ninjax place the 'N' number of coins in a straight line.

The rule of the game is as follows:

1. Each coin has a value associated with it.

2. It’s a two-player game played against an opponent with alternating turns. 

3. At each turn, the player picks either the first or the last coin from the line and permanently removes it.

4. The value associated with the coin picked by the player adds up to the total amount the player wins. 

Ninjax is a good friend of yours and asks you to start first.

Your task is to find the maximum amount you can definitely win at the end of this game.

Note:

'N' is always even number.

Ninjax is as smart as you, so he will play so as to maximize the amount he wins.
Example 1:
Let the values associated with four coins be: [9, 5, 21, 7] 

Let’s say that initially, you pick 9 and Ninjax picks 7.
Then, you pick 21 and Ninjax picks 5. 
So, you win a total amount of (9+21), i.e. 30.

In case you would have picked up 7 initially and Ninjax would have picked 21 (as he plays optimally). 
Then, you would pick 9 and Ninjax would choose 5. So, you win a total amount of (7+9), i.e. 16, which is not the maximum you can obtain.

Thus, the maximum amount you can win is 30.
Example 2:
Let the values associated with four coins be: [20, 50, 5, 10] 

Let’s say that initially, you pick 10 and Ninjax picks 20.
Then, you pick 50 and Ninjax picks 5. 
So, you win a total amount of (10+50), i.e. 60.

In case you would have picked up 20 initially and Ninjax would have picked 50 (as he plays optimally). 
Then, you would pick 10 and Ninjax would choose 5. So, you win a total amount of (20+10), i.e. 30, which is not the maximum you can obtain.

Thus, the maximum amount you can win is 60.
