HackerEarth Subtree swap problem solution

YASH PAL, 31 July 202415 February 2026
In this HackerEarth Subtree swap problem solution, You are given an undirected tree with N nodes rooted at node 1. Every node has a value A[i] assigned to it. You are required to answer Q queries of the following type:
UVX
 
Select a subtree with U as the root node and subtree with V as the root node and swap their positions. That is, detach both the subtrees and swap their positions.
If node U is an ancestor of node V or node V is an ancestor of node U, the above Swap operation is not performed.
 
Find the sum of node values present in the subtree rooted at node X.
If the Swap operation is performed, then redo this operation. That is, swap the subtree with U as the root node and subtree with V as the root node.
Determine the required answer for Q queries.
