Suppose we have a binary tree. A node is known as insufficient if every such root to leaf path intersecting this node has sum strictly less than limit. We have to delete all insufficient nodes simultaneously, and return the root of the resulting binary tree. So if the tree is like, and the limit is 1 −Then the output tree will be −To solve this, we will follow these steps −Define a method solve(), this will take root and limitif node has no left and right subtree, thenif value of root is less than 1, return null, otherwise rootif root ...

The JSON module is a very reliable library to serialize a Python dictionary into a string, and then back to a dictionary. The dumps function converts the dict to a string. exampleimport json my_dict = { 'foo': 42, 'bar': { 'baz': "Hello", 'poo': 124.2 } } my_json = json.dumps(my_dict) print(my_json)OutputThis will give the output −'{"foo": 42, "bar": {"baz": "Hello", "poo": 124.2}}'The loads function converts the string back to a dict. exampleimport json my_str = '{"foo": 42, "bar": {"baz": "Hello", "poo": 124.2}}' my_dict = json.loads(my_str) print(my_dict['bar']['baz'])OutputThis will give the output −Hello

Tuples are compared position by position: the first item of the first tuple is compared to the first item of the second tuple; if they are not equal, this is the result of the comparison, else the second item is considered, then the third and so on. example>>> a = (1, 2, 3) >>> b = (1, 2, 5) >>> a < b TrueThere is another type of comparison that takes into account similar and different elements. This can be performed using sets. Sets will take the tuples and take only unique values. Then you can perform a & operation that ...

In Python, if you try to do something likea = b = c = [0,3,5] a[0] = 10You'll end up with the same values ina, b, and c: [10, 3, 5]This is because all three variables here point to the same value. If you modify this value, you'll get the change reflected in all names, ie, a,b and c. To create a new object and assign it, you can use the copy module.  examplea = [0,3,5] import copy b = copy.deepcopy(a) a[0] = 5 print(a) print(b)OutputThis will give the output −[5,3,5] [0,3,5]
