Merging Binary Trees - Amazon Top Interview Questions
Problem Statement :
Given two binary trees node0 and node1, return a merge of the two trees where each value is equal to the sum of the values of the corresponding nodes of the input trees. If only one input tree has a node in a given position, the corresponding node in the new tree should match that input node. Constraints n ≤ 100,000 where n is the number of nodes in node0 m ≤ 100,000 where m is the number of nodes in node1 Example 1 Input node0 = [0, [3, null, null], [2, [3, null, null], null]] node1 = [7, [5, null, null], [1, null, null]] Output [7, [8, null, null], [3, [3, null, null], null]] Example 2 Input node0 = [1, [2, [3, null, null], null], null] node1 = [4, null, [5, null, [6, null, null]]] Output [5, [2, [3, null, null], null], [5, null, [6, null, null]]]
Solution :
Solution in C++ :
Tree* solve(Tree* node0, Tree* node1) {
if (!node0)
return node1;
else if (!node1)
return node0;
else {
node0->val += node1->val;
auto left = solve(node0->left, node1->left);
auto right = solve(node0->right, node1->right);
node0->left = left;
node0->right = right;
return node0;
}
}
Solution in Python :
class Solution:
def solve(self, node0, node1):
if not node0:
return node1
if not node1:
return node0
node0.left = self.solve(node0.left, node1.left)
node0.val += node1.val
node0.right = self.solve(node0.right, node1.right)
return node0

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. Given an array of integers, find the largest v

Our lazy white falcon finally decided to learn heavy-light decomposition. Her teacher gave an assignment for her to practice this new technique. Please help her by solving this problem. You are given a tree with N nodes and each node's value is initially 0. The problem asks you to operate the following two types of queries: "1 u x" assign x to the value of the node . "2 u v" print the maxim

Andy and Lily love playing games with numbers and trees. Today they have a tree consisting of n nodes and n -1 edges. Each edge i has an integer weight, wi. Before the game starts, Andy chooses an unordered pair of distinct nodes, ( u , v ), and uses all the edge weights present on the unique path from node u to node v to construct a list of numbers. For example, in the diagram below, Andy
