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)}.
Problem approach

int countWays(int n)
{
if(n == 1) return n;
int mod = 1000000000 + 7;
int prev = 2, prev2 = 1, curr = 0;

for(int i = 2 ; i < n ; i++){
curr = (prev + prev2) % mod;
prev2 = prev;
prev = curr;
}

return prev ;
}

It was again the morning session and the interviewer was very supportive in nature and gave me the hint too to think the approach and finally i came up the solution which he was expecting.

1. Kth Largest Element in BST

AdobeWells FargoCIS - Cyber Infrastructure

Given the root node of a Binary Search Tree (BST), you have to return the Kth largest element in the BST.

For Example:
If K is 4 and the tree is depicted by the following image then,

Example1

The 4th largest element in the given BST is 1. So the output will be 1.
Follow-up :
 Try to do it in O(1) space without using recursion.
Problem approach

#include 
using namespace std;

// Tree Node
struct Node {
int data;
Node *left;
Node *right;

Node(int val) {
data = val;
left = right = NULL;
}
};

// Function to Build Tree
Node* buildTree(string str)

// Corner Case
if(str.length() == 0 || str[0] == 'N')
return NULL;

// Creating vector of strings from input 
// string after spliting by space
vector ip;

istringstream iss(str);
for(string str; iss >> str; )
ip.push_back(str);

// Create the root of the tree
Node* root = new Node(stoi(ip[0]));

// Push the root to the queue
queue queue;
queue.push(root);

// Starting from the second element
int i = 1;
while(!queue.empty() && i < ip.size()) {

// Get and remove the front of the queue
Node* currNode = queue.front();
queue.pop();

// Get the current node's value from the string
string currVal = ip[i];

// If the left child is not null
if(currVal != "N") {

// Create the left child for the current node
currNode->left = new Node(stoi(currVal));

// Push it to the queue
queue.push(currNode->left);
}

// For the right child
i++;
if(i >= ip.size())
break;
currVal = ip[i];

// If the right child is not null
if(currVal != "N") {

// Create the right child for the current node
currNode->right = new Node(stoi(currVal));

// Push it to the queue
queue.push(currNode->right);
}
i++;
}

return root;
