Cousins of a Given Node in a Binary Tree

Given a binary tree with 'N' nodes and a specific node in this tree, you need to determine and return a sorted list of the values of the node's cousins. The cousins should be sorted in non-decreasing order based on their values.

Definition:

In a binary tree, two nodes are considered cousins if they are at the same depth or level but have different parent nodes.

Note:

    This tree setup has unique data values; hence no two nodes will have identical values.

Input:

The input starts with a single integer T, representing the number of test cases.
For each test case:
- The first line consists of node values of the binary tree provided in level order format (use -1 for NULL nodes).
- The second line provides the specific node value for which cousins need to be identified.

Output:

- For each test case, return the sorted list of cousin node values.
- If the node has no cousins, return -1.

Example:

Consider a binary tree:

Input:

1 2 3 4 -1 5 6 -1 7 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1
7

Output:

[5, 6]

Explanation: For the node with value 7, the cousins at the same level are 5 and 6.

Constraints:

  • 1 <= T <= 100
  • 1 <= N <= 3000
  • 1 <= nodeVal <= 109
  • Time Limit: 1 second
