Super Kth LIS


Problem Statement :


Given an array of N integers (a0,a1,...,aN-1), find all possible increasing subsequences of maximum length, L. Then print the lexicographically Kth longest increasing subsequence as a single line of space-separated integers; if there are less than K subsequences of length L, print -1.

Two subsequences [ap0,ap1,...,apL-1] and [aq0,aq1,...,aqL-1] are considered to be different if there exists at least one i such that pi != qi.

Input Format

The first line contains 2 space-separated integers, N and K, respectively.
The second line consists of N space-separated integers denoting a0,a1,...,aN-1 respectively.

Constraints

1 <= N <= 10^5
1 <= K <= 10^18
1 <= ai <= N

Queue using Two Stacks

A queue is an abstract data type that maintains the order in which elements were added to it, allowing the oldest elements to be removed from the front and new elements to be added to the rear. This is called a First-In-First-Out (FIFO) data structure because the first element added to the queue (i.e., the one that has been waiting the longest) is always the first one to be removed. A basic que
