HackerRank City problem solution

YASH PAL, 31 July 202430 November 2025

In this HackerRank City problem solution, we have an acyclic connected graph or tree and the construction of the whole tree takes place in N steps. it has initially 1 node and at each step, we need to create 3 duplicates of the current tree and 2 new nodes to connect all 4 copies in the H shape. we need to calculate the sum of distances between each pair of nodes.
