Q1. 
Flip Equivalent Binary Tree Problem
Determine whether two binary trees, given by their roots 'ROOT1' and 'ROOT2', are flip equivalent. A tree can be transformed into a flip equivalent through any number o...read more
Ans. 
The problem is to determine if two binary trees are flip equivalent after performing flip operations on one of the trees.
• Perform a depth-first search (DFS) on both trees simultaneously

• At each node, check if the values are equal and the left and right subtrees are either both null or both not null

• If the above conditions are met, recursively check the flip equivalence of the left and right subtrees

• If any of the condition...read more

Q2. 
Split Array Into Increasing Subsequences Problem Statement
You are provided with an integer array ARR of size N sorted in ascending order. Your task is to determine if it is possible to split this array i...read more
Ans. 
The task is to determine if an integer array can be split into one or more increasing subsequences with a length of at least 3.
• Check if the array can be split into increasing subsequences by iterating through the array.

• Keep track of the current subsequence and its length while iterating.

• If the difference between the current element and the previous element is not 1, start a new subsequence.

• If the length of any subseque...read more

Ans. 
The task is to rearrange the given array such that every second element is greater than its left and right element.
• Iterate through the array and check if every second element is greater than its left and right element

• If not, swap the current element with its adjacent element to satisfy the condition

• Continue this process until the entire array satisfies the condition

• Return 1 if the array satisfies the condition, else re
