Zigzag Binary Tree Traversal Problem Statement

Determine the zigzag level order traversal of a given binary tree's nodes. Zigzag traversal alternates the direction at each level, starting from left to right, then right to left, and so on.

Example:

Input:
Binary tree represented as level order traversal: 1 2 3 4 -1 5 6 -1 7 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1 -1
Output:
{{1}, {3, 2}, {4, 5, 6}, {7}}

Explanation:

The provided input represents the binary tree: binary tree

The zigzag traversal of this tree is: Level 1 (left to right): 1, Level 2 (right to left): 3, 2, Level 3 (left to right): 4, 5, 6, Level 4 (right to left): 7.

Constraints:

  • 1 <= T <= 100
  • 0 <= N <= 3000
  • 0 <= val <= 105
Note:

Your implementation should return the correct traversal for each test case without formatting the output.
