Problem statement

Given a sequence of numbers. Find all leaders in sequence. An element is a leader if it is strictly greater than all the elements on its right side.

Note:

1. Rightmost element is always a leader.

2. The order of elements in the return sequence must be the same as the given sequence

Example:

The given sequence is 13, 14, 3, 8, 2 .

13 Not a leader because on the right side 14 is greater than 13.

14 lt is a leader because no one greater element in the right side.

3 Not a leader because on the right side 8 are greater than 3.

8 It is a leader because no one greater element on the right side.

2 It is a leader because it is the rightmost element in a sequence.

Hence there are 3 leaders in the above sequence which are 14, 8, 2.

Detailed explanation ( Input/output format, Notes, Images )

Input format:

The first line of input contains an integer ‘T’ denoting the number of test cases.

The first line of each test case contains an integer ‘N’ denoting the number of elements in the given sequence. 

The second line of each test case contains ‘N’ space-separated integers denoting the elements in the sequence.

Output Format:

For each test case, print a sequence of all leaders separated by space on a separate line.

Note:

You don't need to print anything, it has been already taken care of. Just implement the given function.

Constraints:

1 <= T <= 50
1 <= N <= 10^4
-10^9 <= ELEMENTS[i] <= 10^9

Where ‘ELEMENTS[i]’ denotes an element at position ‘i’ in the sequence.

Time limit: 1 sec

Sample Input 1:

2
6
6 7 4 2 5 3
4
11 10 9 8

Sample Output 1:

7 5 3
11 10 9 8

Explanation of Sample Output 1:

In test case 1,

6 Not a leader because on the right side 7 is greater than 6.

7 lt is a leader because no one greater element in the right side.

4 Not a leader because on the right side 5 are greater than 4.

2 Not a leader because on the right side 5, 3 are greater than 2.

5 lt is a leader because no one greater element in the right side.

3 It is a leader because it is a rightmost element in a sequence.

Hence there are 3 leaders in sequence 7, 5, 3. 

In test case 2,

Given sequence is in descending order, so all elements are leaders

Sample Input 2:

2
6
5 10 11 12 -1 -2
4
10 -11 -3 -2

Sample Output 2:

12 -1 -2
10 -2

Explanation of Sample Output 2:

In test case 1,

5 Not a leader because on the right side 10 is greater than 5.

10 Not a leader because on the right side 11 is greater than 10.

11 Not a leader because on the right side 12 are greater than 11.

12 lt is a leader because no one greater element in the right side.

-1 lt is a leader because no one greater element in the right side.

-2 It is a leader because it is a rightmost element in a sequence.

Hence there are 3 leaders in sequence 12, -1, -2. 

In test case 2,

10 lt is a leader because no one greater element in the right side.

-11 Not a leader because on the right side -3 are greater than -11.

-3 Not a leader because on the right side -2 are greater than -3.

-2 It is a leader because it is a rightmost element in a sequence.

Hence there are 2 leaders in sequence 10, -2.
