Encode N-ary Tree to Binary Tree Problem Statement
You are provided with an N-ary tree constituted of 'N' nodes, where node '1' is the head of the tree. Your task is to encode this N-ary tree into a binary tree in such a way that it can fully restore the original N-ary tree from the encoded binary tree. Additionally, include functions to decode a given binary tree back into the N-ary tree format.
Input:
The first line indicates the number of test cases, 'T'.
The subsequent lines consist of tree elements in a level-order manner, separated by a single space.
Output:
For each test case:
- Encode function: Return the binary tree.
- Decode function: Return the N-ary tree.
Example:
Input:
N-ary Tree represented as:-
6
1 -1 2 3 4 -1 5 -1 6 -1 -1 -1 -1
Output:
Encoded Binary Tree (level-order):-
1
2 -1
5 3
-1 -1 6 4
-1 -1 -1 -1
Constraints:
1 <= T <= 10
1 <= N <= 1000
- Time Limit: 1 sec
Note:
- The N-ary Tree is described in a level-order traversal form, with each child group separated by -1.
- The binary tree is stored in a list/array containing 'N' + 1 elements, indexed from 1 to 'N'. Each element holds the left child followed by the right child, separated by lines.
- Display -1 where a node lacks a left or right child.
- No need for explicit output printing in the implementation; focus on the function logic.
