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 have been given a number of stairs. Initially, you are at the 0th stair, and you need to reach the Nth stair.


Each time, you can climb either one step or two steps.


You are supposed to return the number of distinct ways you can climb from the 0th step to the Nth step.

Note:

Note: Since the number of ways can be very large, return the answer modulo 1000000007.
Example :
N=3

Example

We can climb one step at a time i.e. {(0, 1) ,(1, 2),(2,3)} or we can climb the first two-step and then one step i.e. {(0,2),(1, 3)} or we can climb first one step and then two step i.e. {(0,1), (1,3)}.

You are given a list of pairs of dependencies in the form of ( U, V ) which means to perform task ‘U’ you first need to finish the task ‘V’. You need to report whether it is possible to complete all the tasks or not. Return true if it is possible to finish all the tasks else return false.

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.

DirectiAdobeOracle

You are given an 'N * N' matrix of integers where each row and each column is sorted in increasing order. You are given a target integer 'X'.


Find the position of 'X' in the matrix. If it exists then return the pair {i, j} where 'i' represents the row and 'j' represents the column of the array, otherwise return {-1,-1}


For example:
If the given matrix is:
[ [1, 2, 5],
  [3, 4, 9],
  [6, 7, 10]] 
We have to find the position of 4. We will return {1,1} since A[1][1] = 4.
