Cut the Tree
Problem Statement :
There is an undirected tree where each vertex is numbered from 1 to n, and each contains a data value. The sum of a tree is the sum of all its nodes' data values. If an edge is cut, two smaller trees are formed. The difference between two trees is the absolute value of the difference in their sums. Given a tree, determine which edge to cut so that the resulting trees have a minimal difference between them, then return that difference. The minimum absolute difference is . Note: The given tree is always rooted at vertex . Function Description Complete the cutTheTree function in the editor below. cutTheTree has the following parameter(s): int data[n]: an array of integers that represent node values int edges[n-1][2]: an 2 dimensional array of integer pairs where each pair represents nodes connected by the edge Returns int: the minimum achievable absolute difference of tree sums Input Format The first line contains an integer , the number of vertices in the tree. The second line contains space-separated integers, where each integer denotes the data value, . Each of the subsequent lines contains two space-separated integers and that describe edge in tree .

The median of a set of integers is the midpoint value of the data set for which an equal number of integers are less than and greater than the value. To find the median, you must first sort your set of integers in non-decreasing order, then: If your set contains an odd number of elements, the median is the middle element of the sorted sample. In the sorted set { 1, 2, 3 } , 2 is the median.
