Next Greater Element Problem Statement

You are given an array arr of length N. For each element in the array, find the next greater element (NGE) that appears to the right. If there is no such greater element, return -1.

Input:

T 
N
arr[0] arr[1] ... arr[N-1]

Output:

NGE[0] NGE[1] ... NGE[N-1]

Example:

Input:
1 
3
1 3 2
Output:
3 -1 -1
Explanation:

For 1, 3 is the next greater element. 3 has no greater element to its right, so it returns -1. Similarly, 2 also returns -1.

Constraints:

  • 1 <= T <= 10
  • 1 <= N <= 10^5
  • 0 <= arr[i] <= 10^9
  • Time Limit: 1 sec
Note:
Implement the function without printing anything; printing is already handled.
