Connect Nodes at Same Level Problem Statement
An assignment is to link adjacent nodes at the same level in a binary tree. Each node in a binary tree has at most two children (left and right) and a next pointer to the next right node at the same level. If there is no next right node, the next pointer should be set to NULL. Initially, all next pointers are NULL.
Input:
The first line of input consists of an integer ‘T’, representing the number of test cases.
For each test case, the first line contains elements in level order format, separated by spaces. If a node is NULL, it is represented by -1.
Example tree input:
1 2 3 4 -1 5 6 -1 7 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1
Output:
For each test case, produce the level order as connected by next pointers, with '#' marking the end of each level.
Example output:
1 # 2 3 # 4 5 6 # 7 #
Example:
Input:
1
1 2 3 4 -1 5 6 -1 7 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1
Output:
1 # 2 3 # 4 5 6 # 7 #
Constraints:
- 1 <= T <= 100
- 1 <= N <= 3000
- -109 <= DATA <= 109
Ensure an efficient operation given N node constraints in each tree and constant space usage aside from input constraints.

Connect adjacent nodes at the same level in a binary tree by setting next pointers.
Traverse the tree level by level using a queue.
For each level, connect nodes using the next pointer.
Set the next poin...read more
