Next Greater Element of a Linked List - Amazon Top Interview Questions


Problem Statement :


Given a singly linked list node, replace every node's value with the first greater node's value to its right. If a node doesn't have a next greater node, set its value to 0.

Constraints

n ≤ 100,000 where n is the number of nodes in node

Example 1

Input

node = [3, 2, 4, 5]

Output

[4, 4, 5, 0]

Example 2

Input

node = [1, 1, 1, 1]

Output

[0, 0, 0, 0]

                        Solution in C++ :

void replace(LLNode* root, stack<int>& s) {
    if (root == NULL) return;
    replace(root->next, s);
    while (!s.empty() and s.top() <= root->val) s.pop();
    int vals = root->val;
    root->val = s.empty() ? 0 : s.top();
    s.push(vals);
}
LLNode* solve(LLNode* node) {
    stack<int> s;
    replace(node, s);
    return node;
}
                    




                        Solution in Python : 
                            
class Solution:
    def solve(self, node):
        stack = []
        ans = node
        while node:
            while stack and node.val > stack[-1].val:
                top = stack.pop()
                top.val = node.val
            stack.append(node)
            node = node.next

        for el in stack:
            el.val = 0

        return ans

Print in Reverse

Given a pointer to the head of a singly-linked list, print each data value from the reversed list. If the given list is empty, do not print anything. Example head* refers to the linked list with data values 1->2->3->Null Print the following: 3 2 1 Function Description: Complete the reversePrint function in the editor below. reversePrint has the following parameters: Sing

Reverse a linked list

Given the pointer to the head node of a linked list, change the next pointers of the nodes so that their order is reversed. The head pointer given may be null meaning that the initial list is empty. Example: head references the list 1->2->3->Null. Manipulate the next pointers of each node in place and return head, now referencing the head of the list 3->2->1->Null. Function Descriptio

Compare two linked lists

You’re given the pointer to the head nodes of two linked lists. Compare the data in the nodes of the linked lists to check if they are equal. If all data attributes are equal and the lists are the same length, return 1. Otherwise, return 0. Example: list1=1->2->3->Null list2=1->2->3->4->Null The two lists have equal data attributes for the first 3 nodes. list2 is longer, though, so the lis

Merge two sorted linked lists

This challenge is part of a tutorial track by MyCodeSchool Given pointers to the heads of two sorted linked lists, merge them into a single, sorted linked list. Either head pointer may be null meaning that the corresponding list is empty. Example headA refers to 1 -> 3 -> 7 -> NULL headB refers to 1 -> 2 -> NULL The new list is 1 -> 1 -> 2 -> 3 -> 7 -> NULL.

Delete duplicate-value nodes from a sorted linked list

This challenge is part of a tutorial track by MyCodeSchool You are given the pointer to the head node of a sorted linked list, where the data in the nodes is in ascending order. Delete nodes and return a sorted list with each distinct value in the original list. The given head pointer may be null indicating that the list is empty. Example head refers to the first node in the list 1 -> 2 -
