Swap Nodes in Binary tree of every k'th level

Given a binary tree and integer value k, the task is to swap sibling nodes of every k’th level where k >= 1.

Examples:

Input :  k = 2  and Root of below tree                     
      1             Level 1 
    /   \ 
   2     3          Level 2
 /     /   \
4     7     8       Level 3

Output : Root of the following modified tree
      1
    /   \
   3     2
 /  \   /  
7    8  4
Explanation : We need to swap left and right sibling 
              every second level. There is only one 
              even level with nodes to be swapped are
              2 and 3.


Input : k = 1 and Root of following tree
            
       1          Level 1
     /   \ 
    2     3       Level 2
  /  \ 
 4    5           Level 3
Output : Root of the following modified tree
       1
     /   \
    3     2
         /  \
        5    4
Since k is 1, we need to swap sibling nodes of
all levels.

Recommended: Please try your approach on {IDE} first, before moving on to the solution.

A simple solution of this problem is that for each is to find sibling nodes for each multiple of k and swap them.

An efficient solution is to keep track of level number in recursive calls. And for every node being visited, check if level number of its children is a multiple of k. If yes, then swap the two children of the node. Else, recur for left and right children.

Below is the implementation of above idea

C++

// c++ program swap nodes 
#include<bits/stdc++.h> 
using namespace std; 
  
// A Binary Tree Node 
struct Node 
{ 
    int data; 
    struct Node *left, *right; 
}; 
  
// function to create a new tree node 
Node* newNode(int data) 
{ 
    Node *temp = new Node; 
    temp->data = data; 
    temp->left = temp->right = NULL; 
    return temp; 
} 
  
// swap two Node 
void Swap( Node **a , Node **b) 
{ 
    Node * temp = *a; 
    *a = *b; 
    *b = temp; 
} 
  
// A utility function swap left- node & right node of tree 
// of every k'th level 
void swapEveryKLevelUtil( Node *root, int level, int k) 
{ 
    // base case 
    if (root== NULL || 
            (root->left==NULL && root->right==NULL) ) 
        return ; 
  
    //if current level + 1  is present in swap vector 
    //then we swap left & right node 
    if ( (level + 1) % k == 0) 
        Swap(&root->left, &root->right); 
  
    // Recur for left and right subtrees 
    swapEveryKLevelUtil(root->left, level+1, k); 
    swapEveryKLevelUtil(root->right, level+1, k); 
} 
  
// This function mainly calls recursive function 
// swapEveryKLevelUtil() 
void swapEveryKLevel(Node *root, int k) 
{ 
    // call swapEveryKLevelUtil function with 
    // initial level as 1. 
    swapEveryKLevelUtil(root, 1, k); 
} 
  
// Utility method for inorder tree traversal 
void inorder(Node *root) 
{ 
    if (root == NULL) 
        return; 
    inorder(root->left); 
    cout << root->data << " "; 
    inorder(root->right); 
} 
  
// Driver Code 
int main() 
{ 
    /*    1 
        /   \ 
       2     3 
     /      /  \ 
    4      7    8   */
    struct Node *root = newNode(1); 
    root->left = newNode(2); 
    root->right = newNode(3); 
    root->left->left = newNode(4); 
    root->right->right = newNode(8); 
    root->right->left = newNode(7); 
  
    int k = 2; 
    cout << "Before swap node :"<<endl; 
    inorder(root); 
  
    swapEveryKLevel(root, k); 
  
    cout << "\nAfter swap Node :" << endl; 
    inorder(root); 
    return 0; 
}
