Inventions become innovations when they are refined to such an
extent that they continue to
be successful in the market long after they were first invented.
This is directly adding
significant value to consumers such as adding new personalities and
characteristics to
products to suit and adapt to consumers’ ever-changing needs. The
ultimate objective of
innovation is to create sustainable growth that leads to a
competitive advantage. To bring
innovation into the market, companies need to conceive an invention
and create a value chain
around it.
Innovation is not only about being creative or inventing something
new. It is also about using
knowledge to solve problems. It is about adding value to our work
and this can result in a
better product or service. There are four basic types of innovation
which are basic, sustaining,
disruptive and breakthrough innovation.
Write an article to depict the four basic types of innovations
using ONE example for each
type of innovation. The article must consist of:
i. An introduction section to explain innovation and the basic
types of innovation.

Bilbo and problems on the board
Problem Statement
Bilbo once reached his maths claws earlier than anyone else.He saw some N unique numbers greater than 0 written on the board.He thought of challenging his classmates when they come.So for each number i,he wrote the number before and after it on a paper slip.If it is the last number then the number after it is assumed to be 0.If it the first number then number before it is assumed to be 0.Now he shuffled the slips.
Whenhis classmates came,he showed them the slips and asked to make the original list of numbers that was there on the board and promised to share his lunch box with the winner.
You being a avid programmer , decided to write a code to solve this problem
Inpout format:
First line contains N<=100000 , number of slips.
Next N lines contain 2 number, A and B where A and B are number before and after some numbers from list.
Output Format:
N integers that are in the original list that was in board.
Sample Input1:
3
2 0
0 2
1 3
Sample Output1:
1 2 3
Explanation
If you look at solution ,1 has 0 and 2 as numbers before and after it, 2 has 1 and 3, 3 has 2 and 0 .
Sample input 2:
4
101 0
0 102
102 100
