Tree : Top View
Problem Statement :
Given a pointer to the root of a binary tree, print the top view of the binary tree.
The tree as seen from the top the nodes, is called the top view of the tree.
For example :
1
\
2
\
5
/ \
3 6
\
4
Top View : 1 -> 2 -> 5 -> 6
Complete the function topView and print the resulting values on a single line separated by space.
Input Format
You are given a function,
void topView(node * root) {
}
Constraints
1 <= Nodes in the tree <= 500
Output Format
Print the values on a single line separated by space.

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.

A linked list is said to contain a cycle if any node is visited more than once while traversing the list. Given a pointer to the head of a linked list, determine if it contains a cycle. If it does, return 1. Otherwise, return 0. Example head refers 1 -> 2 -> 3 -> NUL The numbers shown are the node numbers, not their data values. There is no cycle in this list so return 0. head refer
