Given a binary tree, the task is to print all the nodes except the rightmost in every level of the tree. The root is considered at level 0, and rightmost node of any level is considered as a node at position 0.
Examples: 
 

Input:
          1
       /     \
      2       3
    /   \       \
   4     5       6
        /  \
       7    8
      /      \
     9        10

Output:
2
4 5
7
9

Input:
          1
        /   \
       2     3
        \     \
         4     5
Output:
2
4

 

Approach: To print nodes level by level, use level order traversal. The idea is based on Print level order traversal line by line. For that, traverse nodes level by level and if the node in the queue of level order is the last node then that node will be the rightmost node and don’t print that node.
Below is the implementation of the above approach: 
 

C++




// C++ implementation of the approach
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Structure of the tree node
struct Node {
    int data;
    Node *left, *right;
};
 
// Utility method to create a node
struct Node* newNode(int data)
{
    struct Node* node = new Node;
    node->data = data;
    node->left = node->right = NULL;
    return (node);
}
 
// Function to print all the nodes
// except the rightmost in every level
// of the given binary tree
// with level order traversal
void excluderightmost(Node* root)
{
    // Base Case
    if (root == NULL)
        return;
 
    // Create an empty queue for level
    // order traversal
    queue<Node*> q;
 
    // Enqueue root
    q.push(root);
 
    while (1) {
 
        // nodeCount (queue size) indicates
        // number of nodes at current level.
        int nodeCount = q.size();
        if (nodeCount == 0)
            break;
 
        // Dequeue all nodes of current level
        // and Enqueue all nodes of next level
        while (nodeCount > 0) {
            Node* node = q.front();
 
            // If node is not rightmost print
            if (nodeCount != 1)
                cout << node->data << " ";
            q.pop();
            if (node->left != NULL)
                q.push(node->left);
            if (node->right != NULL)
                q.push(node->right);
            nodeCount--;
        }
        cout << "\n";
    }
}
 
// Driver code
int main()
{
    struct Node* root = newNode(1);
    root->left = newNode(2);
    root->right = newNode(3);
    root->left->left = newNode(4);
    root->left->right = newNode(5);
    root->right->left = newNode(6);
    root->right->right = newNode(7);
    root->left->right->left = newNode(8);
    root->left->right->right = newNode(9);
    root->left->right->right->right = newNode(10);
 
    excluderightmost(root);
 
    return 0;
}
