Maximum Binary Tree II in C++

Suppose we have a root node of a maximum tree: The maximum tree is a tree where every node has a value greater than any other value in its subtree. Suppose we have a method called construct(). This can construct a root from a list A. The construct() method is like −

If list A is empty, return null.
Otherwise, let A[i] be the largest element of the list A. Then create a root node with value A[i].
The left child of root will be construct([A[0], A[1], ..., A[i-1]])
The right child of root will be construct([A[i+1], A[i+2], ..., A[n - 1]]) [n is the length of A]
Return root.

Note that we were not given A directly, only a root node root = construct(A). Now suppose B is a copy of A with the value val added to it. It is guaranteed that B has unique values. We have to construct(B). If value is 5 and the input tree is like −

The output tree is like −

To solve this, we will follow these steps −

define one recursive method solve(). This is taking root and val
If tree is empty, then create a new node with value val, and return that node
if value of root < val, then
- temp := new node whose value is val
- left of temp := root
- return temp
right of root := solve(right of root, val)
return root

Let us see the following implementation to get better understanding −
