Print alternate nodes from all levels of a Binary Tree

Given a binary tree, the task is to traverse each level of the given binary tree from left to right and print every alternate encountered at a level.

Examples:

Input: 
 

Output: 


3 9 
5 7 

Input: 
 

Output: 
71 
88 
4 6 
8 10 13 
 

Approach: The problem can be solved by performing Level Order Traversal traversal on the given binary tree. Follow the steps below to solve the problem:  

  1. Initialize a Queue, to store the nodes of each level of the given binary tree.
  2. Perform level order traversal and print alternate nodes from each level of the Binary Tree

Below is the implementation of the above approach:

C++




// C++ program to implement
// the above approach
 
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Structure of a Node
struct Node {
    int data;
    Node* left;
    Node* right;
    Node(int val)
    {
        data = val;
        left = right = NULL;
    }
};
 
// Print alternate nodes of
// a binary tree
void PrintAlternate(Node* root)
{
    // Store nodes of each level
    queue<Node*> Q;
    Q.push(root);
 
    while (!Q.empty()) {
        // Store count of nodes
        // of current level
        int N = Q.size();
 
        // Print alternate nodes of
        // the current level
        for (int i = 0; i < N; i++) {
            Node* temp = Q.front();
            Q.pop();
 
            if (i % 2 == 0) {
                cout << temp->data << " ";
            }
 
            // If left child exists
            if (temp->left) {
                // Store left child
                Q.push(temp->left);
            }
 
            // If right child exists
            if (temp->right) {
                // Store right child
                Q.push(temp->right);
            }
        }
        cout << endl;
    }
}
 
// Driver Code
int main()
{
    Node* root;
 
    // Create a tree
    root = new Node(71);
    root->left = new Node(88);
    root->right = new Node(99);
    root->left->left = new Node(4);
    root->left->right = new Node(5);
    root->right->left = new Node(6);
    root->right->right = new Node(7);
    root->left->left->left = new Node(8);
    root->left->left->right = new Node(9);
    root->left->right->left = new Node(10);
    root->left->right->right = new Node(11);
    root->right->left->right = new Node(13);
    root->right->right->left = new Node(14);
    PrintAlternate(root);
}
