Balls
Objective
The objective of this problem is to test the students’ understanding on Doubly Linked List.
Problem Description
There are N balls labelled with 1, 2, 3,…, N, from left to right. Now, we want to do two kinds of operations:
1. “A x y”: move the ball labelled x to the left of the ball labelled y, where x ≠ y.
Reminder: if x is on the left of y, you may ignore this operation.
2. “B x y”: move the ball labelled x to the right of the ball labelled y, where x ≠ y.
Reminder: if x is on the right of y, you may ignore this operation.
3. “R x”: remove the ball labelled x.
Print the final arrangement after M operations.
Input
The first line contains two integers, N (1<= N <= 1,000) and M (1<= M <= 1,000). The next M lines contain the operations.
Output
Output the final arrangement of the N balls from left to right. Each number is followed by a whitespace.
Sample Input
10 5
A 2 1
A 10 1
A 5 6
B 6 9
R 3
Sample Output
2 10 1 4 5 7 8 9 6
Explanation
0th operation: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
1st operation: 2 1 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
2nd operation: 2 10 1 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
3rd operation: 2 10 1 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
4th operation: 2 10 1 3 4 5 7 8 9 6
5th operation: 2 10 1 4 5 7 8 9 6
