You are given a tree with n nodes numbered from 0 to n - 1 represented by a parent array. You need to implement the LockingTree class with methods for locking, unlocking, and upgrading nodes in the tree based on certain conditions.
Problem
Approach
Steps
Complexity
Input: The input consists of the following operations in order: initialization of the tree with the `parent` array, followed by the `lock`, `unlock`, and `upgrade` operations.
Example: [[-1, 0, 0, 1, 1, 2, 2]], [2, 2], [2, 3], [2, 2], [4, 5], [0, 1], [0, 1]]
Constraints:
• 2 <= n <= 2000
• 0 <= num <= n - 1
• 1 <= user <= 104
• parent[0] == -1
• At most 2000 calls in total will be made.
Output: The output for each operation is a boolean indicating whether the operation was successful or not.
Example: [null, true, false, true, true, true, false]
Constraints:
• The return value should be `null` for the initialization of the tree.
Goal: Implement the methods to manage the locking, unlocking, and upgrading of tree nodes based on the conditions provided.
Steps:
• 1. Initialize the tree using the `parent` array.
• 2. Implement the `lock`, `unlock`, and `upgrade` methods to modify the locking state of nodes.
Goal: The problem ensures that the parent array represents a valid tree with the root at node 0.
Steps:
• parent[0] == -1
• 2 <= n <= 2000
• 1 <= user <= 10^4
Assumptions:
• The input tree structure is valid and represents a tree with no cycles.
Input: [[-1, 0, 0, 1, 1, 2, 2]], [2, 2], [2, 3], [2, 2], [4, 5], [0, 1], [0, 1]]
Explanation: This sequence of operations first initializes the tree, then locks and unlocks nodes as per the conditions, with an upgrade operation successfully locking node 0.
