Climbing the Leaderboard


Problem Statement :


An arcade game player wants to climb to the top of the leaderboard and track their ranking. The game uses Dense Ranking, so its leaderboard works like this:

The player with the highest score is ranked number 1 on the leaderboard.
Players who have equal scores receive the same ranking number, and the next player(s) receive the immediately following ranking number.


Example
ranked = [100, 90, 90, 80]
player = [70, 80, 105]

The ranked players will have ranks 1, 2, 2, and 3, respectively. If the player's scores are 70, 80 and 105, their rankings after each game are 4th, 3rd and 1st. Return [4, 3, 1].


Function Description

Complete the climbingLeaderboard function in the editor below.

climbingLeaderboard has the following parameter(s):

int ranked[n]: the leaderboard scores
int player[m]: the player's scores

Returns

int[m]: the player's rank after each new score


Input Format

The first line contains an integer n, the number of players on the leaderboard.
The next line contains n space-separated integers ranked[i], the leaderboard scores in decreasing order.
The next line contains an integer, m, the number games the player plays.
The last line contains m space-separated integers player[j], the game scores.


Constraints
1 <= n, m <= 2 * 10^5
0 <= ranked[i], player[j] <= 10^9  for 0 <= i, j < n
The existing leaderboard, ranked, is in descending order.
The player's scores, player, are in ascending order.

Jenny's Subtrees

Jenny loves experimenting with trees. Her favorite tree has n nodes connected by n - 1 edges, and each edge is ` unit in length. She wants to cut a subtree (i.e., a connected part of the original tree) of radius r from this tree by performing the following two steps: 1. Choose a node, x , from the tree. 2. Cut a subtree consisting of all nodes which are not further than r units from node x .

Self Balancing Tree

An AVL tree (Georgy Adelson-Velsky and Landis' tree, named after the inventors) is a self-balancing binary search tree. In an AVL tree, the heights of the two child subtrees of any node differ by at most one; if at any time they differ by more than one, rebalancing is done to restore this property. We define balance factor for each node as : balanceFactor = height(left subtree) - height(righ
