Flatten Binary Tree to Linked List
Problem Statement :
Given the root of a binary tree, flatten the tree into a "linked list": The "linked list" should use the same TreeNode class where the right child pointer points to the next node in the list and the left child pointer is always null. The "linked list" should be in the same order as a pre-order traversal of the binary tree. Example 1: Input: root = [1,2,5,3,4,null,6] Output: [1,null,2,null,3,null,4,null,5,null,6] Example 2: Input: root = [] Output: [] Example 3: Input: root = [0] Output: [0] Constraints: The number of nodes in the tree is in the range [0, 2000]. -100 <= Node.val <= 100
Solution :
Solution in C :
/**
* Definition for a binary tree node.
* struct TreeNode {
* int val;
* struct TreeNode *left;
* struct TreeNode *right;
* };
*/
typedef struct TreeNode node;
typedef struct child_res {
node *root;
node *tail;
} child_res;
child_res flatten_rec(node *root)
{
child_res res;
res.root = root;
res.tail = root;
if (root == NULL)
return res;
child_res left = flatten_rec(root->left);
child_res right = flatten_rec(root->right);
root->left = NULL;
if (left.root) {
res.tail->right = left.root;
res.tail = left.tail;
}
if (right.root) {
res.tail->right = right.root;
res.tail = right.tail;
}
return res;
}
void flatten(node *root)
{
child_res res = flatten_rec(root);
}
Solution in C++ :
class Solution {
public:
void flatten(TreeNode* root) {
std::ios_base::sync_with_stdio(false);
std::cin.tie(nullptr);
std::cout.tie(nullptr);
if(!root) return;
if(!root->left && !root->right) return;
flatten(root->left);
if(root->left){
TreeNode* save= root->right;
root->right= root->left;
root->left= NULL;
TreeNode* temp= root;
while(temp->right){
temp= temp->right;
}
temp->right= save;
}
flatten(root->right);
}
};
Solution in Java :
class Solution {
TreeNode ans;
public void flatten(TreeNode root) {
if(root == null)
return ;
ans = new TreeNode(root.val);
TreeNode ans1 = ans;
function(root);
root.left = null;
root.right = ans1.right;
}
void function(TreeNode root){
if(root == null)
return ;
ans.val = root.val;
if(root.left !=null){
ans.right = new TreeNode();
ans.left = null;
ans = ans.right;
function(root.left);
}
if(root.right!=null){
ans.right = new TreeNode();
ans.left = null;
ans = ans.right;
function(root.right);
}
}
}
Solution in Python :
class Solution:
def flatten(self, root: Optional[TreeNode]) -> None:
self.cur = None
def dfs(node):
if not node:
return
left, right = node.left, node.right
node.left = None
if self.cur:
self.cur.right = node
self.cur = self.cur.right
else:
self.cur = node
dfs(left)
dfs(right)
dfs(root)

Pair Sums
Given an array, we define its value to be the value obtained by following these instructions: Write down all pairs of numbers from this array. Compute the product of each pair. Find the sum of all the products. For example, for a given array, for a given array [7,2 ,-1 ,2 ] Note that ( 7 , 2 ) is listed twice, one for each occurrence of 2.
