You are given a binary tree, where the data present in each node is an integer. You have to find whether the given tree is symmetric or not.

Symmetric tree is a binary tree, whose mirror image is exactly the same as the original tree.

For Example:

sym_tree

Aahad and Harshit always have fun by solving problems. Harshit took a sorted array consisting of distinct integers and rotated it clockwise by an unknown amount. For example, he took a sorted array = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] and if he rotates it by 2, then the array becomes: [4, 5, 1, 2, 3].

After rotating a sorted array, Aahad needs to answer Q queries asked by Harshit, each of them is described by one integer Q[i]. which Harshit wanted him to search in the array. For each query, if he found it, he had to shout the index of the number, otherwise, he had to shout -1.

For each query, you have to complete the given method where 'key' denotes Q[i]. If the key exists in the array, return the index of the 'key', otherwise, return -1.

Note:

Can you solve each query in O(logN) ?
Problem approach

You have been given a sorted array/list ARR consisting of ‘N’ elements. You are also given an integer ‘K’.
Now the array is rotated at some pivot point unknown to you. For example, if ARR = [ 1, 3, 5, 7, 8]. Then after rotating ARR at index 3, the array will be ARR = [7, 8, 1, 3, 5].
Now, your task is to find the index at which ‘K’ is present in ARR.

You are given an array/list of ‘N’ integers. You are supposed to return the maximum sum of the subsequence with the constraint that no two elements are adjacent in the given array/list.

Note:
A subsequence of an array/list is obtained by deleting some number of elements (can be zero) from the array/list, leaving the remaining elements in their original order.
