Example:
Explanation:
Consider lines at a...read more
Ans. 
Diagonal traversal of a binary tree involves printing nodes at 135 degree angle in between lines.
• Traverse the tree in a diagonal manner, starting from the root node.

• Maintain a map to store nodes at each diagonal level.

• Print the nodes at each diagonal level in the order of traversal.
