Print binary tree in zigzag order | 103. Binary Tree Zigzag Level Order Traversal Leetcode

Write a program to print ZigZag order traversal of a binary tree. For the below binary tree the zigzag order traversal will be 1 3 2 4 5 6 7.

Given the root of a binary tree, return the zigzag level order traversal of its nodes’ values. (i.e., from left to right, then right to left for the next level and alternate between).

Example 1:

tree1
Input: root = [3,9,20,null,null,15,7]
Output: [[3],[20,9],[15,7]]

Example 2:

Input: root = [1]
Output: [[1]]

Example 3:

Input: root = []
Output: []

Constraints:

  • The number of nodes in the tree is in the range [0, 2000].
  • -100 <= Node.val <= 100

Solution:

  • Let us take 2 Stack. One for the parent, second one for child
  • boolean flag leftToRight for maintaining order in alternative fashion while adding right and left nodes.
  • If the parent stack is empty
    • Toggle the flag => leftToRight = !leftToRight;
    • Assign child to parent stack => parent = child;
    • Reset child stack => child = new Stack<>();
    • Add current level to output => output.add(level);
    • Reset Level => level = new ArrayList<>();

    public static void main(String args[]){
    	TreeNode root = new TreeNode(1);
    	root.left = new TreeNode(2);
    	root.right = new TreeNode(3);
    	root.left.left = new TreeNode(4);
    	root.left.right = new TreeNode(5);
    	root.right.left = new TreeNode(6);
    	root.right.right = new TreeNode(7);
 
    	System.out.print(new Solution().zigzagLevelOrder(root));
 
    }
}

What is the time and space complexity of zigzag order traversal in binary tree?

Time Complexity: O(n) 
Space Complexity: O(n)+(n)=O(n)
