Print cousins of a given node in Binary Tree | Single Traversal

Given a binary tree and a node, print all cousins of given node. Note that siblings should not be printed.

Examples: 

Input : root of below tree 
             1
           /   \
          2     3
        /   \  /  \
       4    5  6   7
       and pointer to a node say 5.

Output : 6, 7
Recommended Practice

Note that it is the same problem as given at Print cousins of a given node in Binary Tree which consists of two traversals recursively. In this post, a single level traversal approach is discussed.
The idea is to go for level order traversal of the tree, as the cousins and siblings of a node can be found in its level order traversal. Run the traversal till the level containing the node is not found, and if found, print the given level.

How to print the cousin nodes instead of siblings and how to get the nodes of that level in the queue? 
During the level order, when for the parent node, if parent->left == Node_to_find, or parent->right == Node_to_find, then the children of this parent must not be pushed into the queue (as one is the node and other will be its sibling). Push the remaining nodes at the same level in the queue and then exit the loop. The current queue will have the nodes at the next level (the level of the node being searched, except the node and its sibling). Now, print the queue.

Following is the implementation of the above algorithm. 




// C++ program to print cousins of a node
#include <iostream>
#include <queue>
using namespace std;
 
// A Binary Tree Node
struct Node {
    int data;
    Node *left, *right;
};
 
// A utility function to create a new Binary
// Tree Node
Node* newNode(int item)
{
    Node* temp = new Node;
    temp->data = item;
    temp->left = temp->right = NULL;
    return temp;
}
 
// function to print cousins of the node
void printCousins(Node* root, Node* node_to_find)
{
    // if the given node is the root itself,
    // then no nodes would be printed
    if (root == node_to_find) {
        cout << "Cousin Nodes : None" << endl;
        return;
    }
 
    queue<Node*> q;
    bool found = false;
    int size_;
    Node* p;
    q.push(root);
 
    // the following loop runs until found is
    // not true, or q is not empty.
    // if found has become true => we have found
    // the level in which the node is present
    // and the present queue will contain all the
    // cousins of that node
    while (!q.empty() && !found) {
 
        size_ = q.size();
        while (size_) {
            p = q.front();
            q.pop();
 
            // if current node's left or right child
            // is the same as the node to find,
            // then make found = true, and don't push
            // any of them into the queue, as
            // we don't have to print the siblings
            if ((p->left == node_to_find ||
                p->right == node_to_find)) {
                found = true;
            }
            else {
                if (p->left)
                    q.push(p->left);
                if (p->right)
                    q.push(p->right);
            }
 
            size_--;
        }
    }
 
    // if found == true then the queue will contain the
    // cousins of the given node
    if (found) {
        cout << "Cousin Nodes : ";
        size_ = q.size();
 
        // size_ will be 0 when the node was at the
        // level just below the root node.
        if (size_ == 0)
            cout << "None";
        for (int i = 0; i < size_; i++) {
            p = q.front();
            q.pop();
            cout << p->data << " ";
        }
    }
    else {
        cout << "Node not found";
    }
    cout << endl;
    return;
}
