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.
