Ans. 
Compute the skyline of given rectangular buildings in a 2D city, eliminating hidden lines and forming the outer contour of the silhouette.
• Iterate through the buildings and create a list of critical points (x, y) where the height changes.

• Sort the critical points based on x-coordinate and process them to form the skyline.

• Merge consecutive horizontal segments of equal height into one to ensure no duplicates.

• Return the fin...read more

Q2. Minimum Spanning tree Implementation of MST
Ans. 
Minimum Spanning Tree (MST) is a tree that connects all vertices in a graph with minimum total edge weight.
• MST can be found using Prim's algorithm or Kruskal's algorithm.

• Prim's algorithm starts with a single vertex and adds the closest vertex to the tree until all vertices are included.

• Kruskal's algorithm starts with the edges with the lowest weight and adds them to the tree as long as they don't create a cycle.

• MST has...read more
