Print odd positioned nodes of odd levels in level order of the given binary tree
Given a binary tree, the task is to print the odd positioned nodes of odd levels in the level order traversal of the tree. The root is considered at level 0, and the leftmost node of any level is considered as a node at position 0.
Example:
Input:
1
/ \
2 3
/ \ / \
4 5 6 7
/ \
8 9
/ \
10 11
Output: 3 9
Input:
2
/ \
4 15
/ /
45 17
Output: 15
Prerequisite – Even positioned elements at even level
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 switch odd level flag after every level. Similarly, mark 2nd node in every level as odd position and switch it after each time the next node is processed.
Below is the implementation of the above approach:
C++
// C++ implementation of the approach#include <bits/stdc++.h>using namespace std;struct Node { int data; Node *left, *right;};// Iterative method to do level order// traversal line by linevoid printOddLevelOddNodes(Node* root){ // Base Case if (root == NULL) return; // Create an empty queue for level // order traversal queue<Node*> q; // Enqueue root and initialize level as even q.push(root); bool evenLevel = true; while (1) { // nodeCount (queue size) indicates // number of nodes in the current level int nodeCount = q.size(); if (nodeCount == 0) break; // Mark 1st node as even positioned bool evenNodePosition = true; // Dequeue all the nodes of current level // and Enqueue all the nodes of next level while (nodeCount > 0) { Node* node = q.front(); // Print only even positioned // nodes of even levels if (!evenLevel && !evenNodePosition) cout << node->data << " "; q.pop(); if (node->left != NULL) q.push(node->left); if (node->right != NULL) q.push(node->right); nodeCount--; // Switch the even position flag evenNodePosition = !evenNodePosition; } // Switch the even level flag evenLevel = !evenLevel; }}// Utility method to create a nodestruct Node* newNode(int data){ struct Node* node = new Node; node->data = data; node->left = node->right = NULL; return (node);}// Driver codeint 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->left->left = newNode(10); root->left->right->right->right = newNode(11); printOddLevelOddNodes(root); return 0;} |
