Asteroid Collision Problem Description
Given an array/list ASTEROIDS
representing asteroids aligned in a row, each element's absolute value identifies the asteroid's size, while its sign indicates the direction (+ve means moving right, -ve means moving left). An asteroid with a value of 0 is massless and moves to the right. Your task is to determine the state of the asteroids after all possible collisions have occurred.
Example:
Input:
ASTEROIDS = {3, -2, 4}
Output:
{3, 4}
Explanation:
The first asteroid will destroy the second asteroid. Thus, the remaining asteroids are {3, 4}.
Constraints:
1 <= T <= 50
1 <= N <= 10^4
-10^5 <= ASTEROIDS[i] <= 10^5
- Where
ASTEROIDS[i]
denotes the i-th asteroid. - Time Limit: 1 sec
Input:
The first line contains an integer ‘T’ for the number of test cases.
The second line of each test case contains an integer ‘N’ for the number of elements.
The third line contains ‘N’ space-separated integers denoting the arrayASTEROIDS
.
Output:
For each test case, print all remaining asteroids separated by a space.
Note:
Implementation is needed for the collision logic; printing is handled elsewhere.
