In this article, we are given a binary search tree. Our task is to transform the given BST to a Greater Sum tree. A Greater Sum Tree with respect to the given BST is a tree where each node's value is replaced by the sum of all values greater than that node's value in the original BST. Below is an example scenarios to convert the given BST to a Greater Sum Tree: Example Scenario Input: BST inorder traversal= {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8} Output: Greater Sum Tree = {36, 35, 33, 30, 26, 21, 15, ...

The binary search algorithm works on the divide and conquer principle as it keeps dividing the array in half before searching. To search for an element in an array using binary search, the array should be sorted. In the sorted array, we find the middle element and compare it with the element that has to be searched, and based on the comparison, we either search in the left sub-array, right sub-array, or return the middle element. In this article, we are given a sorted array of integers, and our task is to search for the given target element using binary ...

A linear search compares the target element with each array element, while a binary search uses divide-and-conquer method to efficiently search for the target element. In this article, we will compare linear search and binary search. What is Linear Search? Linear search is a sequential searching algorithm where we traverse every element within the input array and compare it with the target element to be found. If the target element is found, we return true and the index, and return false if the element is not found in the given array. Below is an animation of working of linear ...

Updated on 20-Aug-2025 2K+ Views

In this article, we have an array of integers. Our task is to find the maximum sum of a sub-array using divide and conquer algorithm. A sub-array is a continuous part of an array with consecutive array elements. For example: {2, 3, 4} is sub-array of {1, 2, 3, 4, 5} but {1, 4, 5} is not. What is Divide and Conquer Algorithm? The Divide and Conquer algorithm divides a problem into smaller sub-problems, and then each sub-problem is solved independently. We keep dividing the sub-problems till we reach a stage where no more division ...

In this article, we have an array of preorder traversal of a binary search tree. Our task is to check if the given array can represent the preorder traversal of the binary search tree. In preorder traversal of tree, the root node is visited first, then the left subtree, and finally the right subtree. What is Binary Search Tree? A binary search tree is a tree data structure and a special type of binary tree that follows the conditions given below: The left child node's value is always less than the parent node. ...

In this article, we have a binary search tree and our task is to balance the given binary search tree. A binary search tree is a tree data structure and a special type of binary tree that follows the conditions given below: The left child node's value is always less than the parent node. The right child node has a greater value than the parent node. All the nodes individually form a binary search tree. The inorder traversal of nodes in BST are ...

Updated on 19-Aug-2025 1K+ Views

To convert a binary tree to a binary search tree, use the inorder tree traversal of the tree. In inorder traversal, we first traverse the left subtree, then the root node, and then the right subtree. The nodes in inorder traversal of a binary search tree are in ascending order, so we find the inorder traversal of binary tree, sort it in ascending order, and place the sorted nodes in binary tree using inorder traversal to get the binary search tree. Understanding Binary Tree and Binary Search Tree A binary tree is a special type of tree in which ...

In this article, we have a sorted vector of pairs. Our task is to search for a target key using binary search in the given vector of pairs. Binary Search Algorithm The binary search algorithm works on the divide-and-conquer principle as it keeps dividing the array in half before searching. To search for an element in an array using binary search, it should be sorted. In the sorted array, we find the middle element and compare it with the element that has to be searched, and based on the comparison, we either search in the left or right sub-array or ...
