Next Greater Node in Linked List Problem Statement

In a set of linked ninja villages, the goal is to determine if a stronger ninja exists in the nearest village linked ahead. Given a linked list of 'N' integers, each integer represents the strength of the strongest ninja in a village, starting from the head of the linked list.

For each node, you need to find the next larger value, i.e., a village with a stronger ninja.

Example:

Input:
2 -> 1 -> 5
Output:
ans = [5, 5, 0]
Explanation:

For the first node village, the village with a stronger ninja is 5, so ans[0] = 5. Similarly, ans[1] = 5, and since no village has a stronger ninja after node 3, ans[2] = 0.

Constraints:

  • 1 <= T <= 100
  • 1 <= N <= 5000
  • 1 <= node.val <= 10^9
  • Time Limit: 1 sec

Input:

The first line contains a single integer 'T' representing the number of test cases. The second line contains space-separated integers for the linked list elements, ending with -1 to denote the end (or null element).

Output:

Return an array of integers answer, where ans[i] = next_larger(node_{i+1}). Output each test case in a separate line.

Note:

You do not need to print anything; the function is implemented to handle the output.
