Print nodes at k distance from root | Iterative

Difficulty Level : Easy
Last Updated : 30 Jun, 2021

Given a root of a tree, and an integer k. Print all the nodes which are at k distance from root.
Example :

Input :
                20
              /   \
            10    30
           / \    / \
          5  15  25  40
             /
            12

and k = 3
Root is at level 1.

Output :
5 15 25 40

Recursive approach to this problem is discussed here
Following is the iterative approach.
The solution is similar to Getting level of node in Binary Tree

C++

// CPP program to print all nodes of level k
// iterative approach
/* binary tree
root is at level 1
 
                20
              /   \
            10    30
           / \    / \
          5  15  25  40
             /
            12  */
#include <bits/stdc++.h>

// Node of binary tree

// Function to add a new node
Node* newNode(int data)
{
    Node* newnode = new Node();
    newnode->data = data;

}
 
// Function to print nodes of given level
bool printKDistant(Node* root, int klevel)
{
    queue<Node*> q;
    int level = 1;
    bool flag = false;
    q.push(root);
 
    // extra NULL is pushed to keep track
    // of all the nodes to be pushed before

        // print when level is equal to k
        if (level == klevel && temp != NULL) {
            flag = true;
            cout << temp->data << " ";
        }
        q.pop();
        if (temp == NULL) {
            if (q.front())
                q.push(NULL);
            level += 1;
