Q92 / 100

What is heavy-light decomposition?

Correct! Well done.

Incorrect.

The correct answer is B) Decomposing a tree into O(log n) chains, enabling range queries on tree paths using a segment tree in O(log² n)

B

Correct Answer

Decomposing a tree into O(log n) chains, enabling range queries on tree paths using a segment tree in O(log² n)

Explanation

HLD decomposes a tree into chains by always following the child with the largest subtree. Any root-to-leaf path crosses O(log n) chains, enabling efficient path queries with a segment tree.
