Next Greater Element Problem Statement

Given a list of integers of size N, your task is to determine the Next Greater Element (NGE) for every element. The Next Greater Element for an element X is the first element to the right of X in the list that is greater than X. If no such element exists, the Next Greater Element should be considered as -1.

Example:

Input:
[7, 12, 1, 20]
Output:
[12, 20, 20, -1]
Explanation:

For the given list:

  • The next greater element for 7 is 12.
  • The next greater element for 12 is 20.
  • The next greater element for 1 is 20.
  • There is no greater element for 20, so it is -1.

Constraints:

  • 1 <= N <= 10^5
  • 1 <= ARR[i] <= 10^9
  • Time Limit: 1 sec
Input:
The first line of input contains an integer 'N' denoting the size of the array/list.
The second line contains 'N' space-separated integers denoting the elements of the array/list.
Output:
A single line containing 'N' space-separated integers denoting the Next Greater Element for each corresponding element in the array/list.
Note:
You are not required to print anything manually; the function implementation already manages output.
