Two Strings


Problem Statement :


Given two strings, determine if they share a common substring . A substring may be as small as one character.

For example, the words "a", "and", "art" share the common substring a. The words "be" and "cat" do not share a substring.

Function Description

Complete the function twoStrings in the editor below. It should return a string, either YES or NO based on whether the strings share a common substring.

twoStrings has the following parameter(s):

    s1, s2: two strings to analyze .

Input Format

The first line contains a single integer p, the number of test cases.

The following p pairs of lines are as follows:

   1. The first line contains string  s1
   2. The second line contains string s2.

Constraints

   s1 and s2 consist of characters in the range ascii[a-z].
   1 <= p <= 10
   1 <= | s1 |, | s2 | <= 10 ^5

Output Format

For each pair of strings, return YES or NO.

Tree: Huffman Decoding

Huffman coding assigns variable length codewords to fixed length input characters based on their frequencies. More frequent characters are assigned shorter codewords and less frequent characters are assigned longer codewords. All edges along the path to a character contain a code digit. If they are on the left side of the tree, they will be a 0 (zero). If on the right, they'll be a 1 (one). Only t

Swap Nodes [Algo]

A binary tree is a tree which is characterized by one of the following properties: It can be empty (null). It contains a root node only. It contains a root node with a left subtree, a right subtree, or both. These subtrees are also binary trees. In-order traversal is performed as Traverse the left subtree. Visit root. Traverse the right subtree. For this in-order traversal, start from

Is This a Binary Search Tree?

For the purposes of this challenge, we define a binary tree to be a binary search tree with the following ordering requirements: The data value of every node in a node's left subtree is less than the data value of that node. The data value of every node in a node's right subtree is greater than the data value of that node. Given the root node of a binary tree, can you determine if it's also a
