This is 6th part of java binary tree tutorial.
In this post, we will see about Spiral/Zigzag Level Order binary tree traversal in java.
Spiral/Zigzag Level Order traversal:
Spiral/Zigzag Level order traversal of below tree will be:
Steps for solution:
- Create an empty stack s and push root to it.
- while stack is not NULL Do following
- Create a empty stack called tempStack.
- Pop a node from stack and push it to tempStack depending on directionFlag
- Change directionFlag to change the direction of traversal
- set stack=tempStack

// prints spiral/zigzag level order public static void spiralOrZigzagLevelOrder(TreeNode root) { if(root==null) return; Stack<TreeNode> stack=new Stack<>(); stack.push(root); boolean directionflag=false; while(!stack.isEmpty()) { Stack<TreeNode> tempStack=new Stack<>(); while(!stack.isEmpty()) { TreeNode tempNode=stack.pop(); System.out.printf("%d ",tempNode.data); if(!directionflag) { if(tempNode.left!=null) tempStack.push(tempNode.left); if(tempNode.right!=null) tempStack.push(tempNode.right); }else { if(tempNode.right!=null) tempStack.push(tempNode.right); if(tempNode.left!=null) tempStack.push(tempNode.left); } } // for changing direction directionflag=!directionflag; stack=tempStack; } } |
Lets say your binary tree is :
So Spiral/Zigzag Level Order traversal will work as below:
Lets create java program for Spiral/Zigzag Level traversal:
