Code is here http://codebin.org/view/30e9f2c0. Logic is made clear by the variable names. Idea is similar to the one which is used to build a queue using 2 stacks. On Wed, May 22, 2013 at 8:45 AM, MAC macatad...@gmail.com wrote: I think this is only possible if you make sure that at push you

I think there is no need for such a complex code. use length() method to get the size of the stack and return the middle element i.e. m=S.length() if(m is even) return arr[m/2] else return arr[m+1/2] it can be done in O(const) time On Thu, May 23, 2013 at 12:54 PM, Avi Dullu

I have a list of N teams T1, T2, T3 … Tn. Each of these teams has played a match against every other team. I have a function displayResult(Team T1, Team T2), it returns the team which won the match between any two given teams T1 and T2. I have to write the teams in an order such the (n-1)th team

This is not necessarily possible. If you have teams A, B, and C, it is possible that A beat B B beat C C beat A. Based on the first two games the ranking should be A,B,C. But based on the third game, C should be ranked higher than A. Don On May 23, 11:06 am, Nishant Pandey

@DON, For example if in a particular order, the teams appeared as T1, T2, T3, T4 … then team T1 had lost to T2, T2 had lost to T3, and T3 had lost to T4… It may be possible that T3 lost to T1 .. but that need not be taken into consideration while writing the order. Only the neighboring elements

If you create a directed graph where each node is a team and an edge exists from A-B if A lost to B, then find a Hamiltonian Path in the graph. That path will be the sequence you need. Don On May 23, 12:02 pm, bharat b bagana.bharatku...@gmail.com wrote:
