Path In A Tree
You are given a binary tree with ‘N’ number of nodes and a node ‘X’. Your task is to print the path from the root node to the given node ‘X’.
A binary tree is a hierarchical data structure in which each node has at most two children.
Example:
Here, for ‘X ’= 7, the output will be 1 3 7.
Input Format :
The first line contains an Integer 'T' which denotes the number of test cases or queries to be run. Then the test cases follow.
The first line of each test case contains the elements of the tree in the level order form separated by a single space. If any node does not have a left or right child, take -1 in its place. Refer to the example below.
The second line of each test case contains a single integer ‘X’, denoting the value of the node you have to find.
Example:
Elements are in the level order form. The input consists of values of nodes separated by a single space in a single line. In case a node is null, we take -1 in its place.
For example, the input for the tree depicted in the below image would be :
1
2 3
4 -1 5 6
-1 7 -1 -1 -1 -1
-1 -1
Explanation :
Level 1 :
The root node of the tree is 1
Level 2 :
Left child of 1 = 2
Right child of 1 = 3
Level 3 :
Left child of 2 = 4
Right child of 2 = null (-1)
Left child of 3 = 5
Right child of 3 = 6
Level 4 :
Left child of 4 = null (-1)
Right child of 4 = 7
Left child of 5 = null (-1)
Right child of 5 = null (-1)
Left child of 6 = null (-1)
Right child of 6 = null (-1)
Level 5 :
Left child of 7 = null (-1)
Right child of 7 = null (-1)
The first not-null node (of the previous level) is treated as the parent of the first two nodes of the current level. The second not-null node (of the previous level) is treated as the parent node for the next two nodes of the current level and so on.
The input ends when all nodes at the last level are null (-1).
Note: The above format was just to provide clarity on how the input is formed for a given tree.
The sequence will be put together in a single line separated by a single space. Hence, for the above-depicted tree, the input will be given as:
1 2 3 4 -1 5 6 -1 7 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1
Output Format :
For each test case, print a list of integers denoting the path from the root to the node ‘X’.
Output for each test case will be printed in a separate line.
Note :
You do not need to print anything, it has already been taken care of. Just implement the given function.
No two nodes in the tree have the same data values.
You can assume that there always exists a node with data value ‘X’ in the given tree.
Constraints:
1 <= T <= 10
1 <= N <= 10000
1 <= X <= N
All the node values will be in a range from 1 to N.
Time limit: 1 sec.
