HackerEarth Gandhi Tree March problem solution

In this HackerEarth Gandhi Tree March problem solution, Gandhijee is interested in building a human tree. He defined a human node as follows :

Person_Id = English alphabet {a…z} .

Person_Chain_Definition = Person_Id ( Person_Chain_Definition Person_Chain_Definition )

For example :

a( b(..) c( d( . e(..) ) f( . . ) ) ) refers to a human tree having a as the root human, whose chain links are are b and c, (spaces here are for clarity, input file has no spaces).

Note: After every Person_Id there is necessarily an opening parenthesis ( that starts the definition of the sub-tree under the person. For empty(NULL) human nodes, there is a ‘.’ character.

Now, Gandhijee figures out the tree as follows :

Step 1: He writes root human root id in column 0.

Step 2: Then he writes the left link’s person id in 1 column to the left and the right link’s person id in 1 column to the right.

He continues writing the subtree, in a way that, for an id written in column C, its left link’s id is written in column C-1 and the right link’s id is written in column C+1.

Now, Gandhijee wants to know the ids of people standing in a particular column C in lexicographically sorted order.

You are provided with column number C and the Tree definition string S. Gandhijee is very busy and hence he wants you to help him.
