Java Comparator
Problem Statement :
Comparators are used to compare two objects. In this challenge, you'll create a comparator and use it to sort an array. The Player class is provided for you in your editor. It has 2 fields: a name String and a score integer. Given an array of n Player objects, write a comparator that sorts them in order of decreasing score; if 2 or more players have the same score, sort those players alphabetically by name. To do this, you must create a Checker class that implements the Comparator interface, then write an int compare(Player a, Player b) method implementing the Comparator.compare(T o1, T o2) method. Input Format Input from stdin is handled by the locked stub code in the Solution class. The first line contains an integer, n, denoting the number of players. Each of the n subsequent lines contains a player's name and score, respectively. Constraints 0<=score<=1000 2 players can have the same name. Player names consist of lowercase English letters. Output Format You are not responsible for printing any output to stdout. The locked stub code in Solution will create a Checker object, use it to sort the Player array, and print each sorted element.
Solution :
Solution in C :
class Checker
{
Comparator<Player> desc=new Comparator<Player>() {
@Override
public int compare(Player a, Player b) {
if(a.score==b.score)
{
if(a.name.compareTo(b.name)>0)
return -1;
if(a.name.compareTo(b.name)<0)
return 1;
return 0;
}
if(a.score>b.score)
return -1;
if(a.score<b.score)
return 1;
return 0;
}
};
}

Shashank loves trees and math. He has a rooted tree, T , consisting of N nodes uniquely labeled with integers in the inclusive range [1 , N ]. The node labeled as 1 is the root node of tree , and each node in is associated with some positive integer value (all values are initially ). Let's define Fk as the Kth Fibonacci number. Shashank wants to perform 22 types of operations over his tree, T
