HackerEarth The family tree of Bob problem solution

YASH PAL, 31 July 2024
In this HackerEarth The family tree of Bob problem solution Bob wants to know about his ancestors, therefore, he draws a graph of his family. In that graph, root is the eldest-known family member. The leaf node is a member who has no children.
You are given a Q query and N family members. They have to just print the kth ancestors with respect to that query. A member can have only one parent.
Note: Print -1 if the query is incorrect, that is, if the kth ancestor is not available. The root of the tree is 1.
