Coding and Mathematics ( Importance Of Maths In Programming )

By
Everyone wants to become a good coder but only a few manage to achieve this you know why? BECAUSE everyone wants to code and no one really wants to be a good mathematician which is the basic requirement to be a coder, yet very few know this fact and try to be a  mathematician first than a coder. What exactly is coding? It is the process of solving different technical problems using a programming language. The technical problems can vary from printing a  simple "Hello World" program to solving "2 SAT Problem" using mathematics. You might today be able to solve a few problems using your technical skills but it would help you in the long run only if you're fundamentals of mathematics are also clear. By mathematics, I don't mean the whole of it but some important topics such as Discrete Math, Algebra, Number Theory, etc. Here are some concepts of mathematics that you will use mostly in solving the technical problems : Fundamentals B...

Symmetric and Identical Trees

By
In this blog, we're going to cover Symmetric Tree and Identical Tree problems. These are quite similar problems, in the Symmetric tree we are provided with a single tree, but for checking identical trees we're provided two trees. What is a Symmetric Tree? A tree is called symmetric if it contains a mirror image of itself when divided from the center(root). This means that the left portion of the tree should be symmetric to the right portion of the tree. Example of a Symmetric Tree: What are Identical Trees? Two trees are said to be identical when they have the same data and the arrangement of data is also the same in them. Example of Identical Trees: In symmetric trees, the left portion of the tree is compared to the right portion of the tree. Whereas in the case of identical trees the left portion of one tree is compared with the left portion of another tree similarly, the right portion of one tree is compared with the right portion of another tree. Implementation Symmetric Tr...
