You are given a non-decreasing array 'arr' consisting of 'n' integers and an integer 'x'. You need to find the first and last position of 'x' in the array.


Note:
1. The array follows 0-based indexing, so you need to return 0-based indices.
2. If 'x' is not present in the array, return {-1 -1}.
3. If 'x' is only present once in the array, the first and last position of its occurrence will be the same.


Example:
Input:  arr = [1, 2, 4, 4, 5],  x = 4

Output: 2 3

Explanation: The given array’s 0-based indexing is as follows:
 1      2     4     4     5
 ↓      ↓     ↓     ↓     ↓
 0      1     2     3     4

So, the first occurrence of 4 is at index 2, and the last occurrence of 4 is at index 3.

You are given the root node of a binary tree with N nodes, whose nodes have integer values. Your task is to find the maximum depth of the given Binary tree.

Depth of a binary tree is the same as its height. In simpler terms, you have to find the total number of nodes encountered while moving from the root node to the farthest leaf node, along the longest path of the binary tree.

Example:-

example

If we are given the above binary tree as input then moving from root node(5) to the farthest leaf node(50), the path formed will be [ 5->10->25->35->40->45->50 ]. The total number of nodes encountered is 7, therefore the maximum depth of the binary tree is 7.

GoogleVisaAdobe

You are given a singly linked list that may or may not contain a cycle. You are supposed to return the node where the cycle begins, if a cycle exists, else return 'NULL'.


A cycle occurs when a node's next pointer returns to a previous node in the list.


Example:
In the given linked list, there is a cycle starting at position 0, hence we return 0.
