C# || How To Traverse N-ary Tree Level Order Using C#

The following is a module with functions which demonstrates how to traverse a N-ary Tree level order using C#.


1. Level Order – Problem Statement

Given an n-ary tree, return the level order traversal of its nodes’ values.

Nary-Tree input serialization is represented in their level order traversal, each group of children is separated by the null value (See examples).

Example 1:

Example 1


Input: root = [1,null,3,2,4,null,5,6]
Output: [[1],[3,2,4],[5,6]]

Example 2:

Example 2


Input: root = [1,null,2,3,4,5,null,null,6,7,null,8,null,9,10,null,null,11,null,12,null,13,null,null,14]
Output: [[1],[2,3,4,5],[6,7,8,9,10],[11,12,13],[14]]


2. Level Order – Solution

The following is a solution which demonstrates how to traverse a N-ary Tree level order.

This solution uses Breadth First Search to explore items at each level.

QUICK NOTES:
The highlighted lines are sections of interest to look out for.

The code is heavily commented, so no further insight is necessary. If you have any questions, feel free to leave a comment below.

Once compiled, you should get this as your output for the example cases:


[[1],[3,2,4],[5,6]]
[[1],[2,3,4,5],[6,7,8,9,10],[11,12,13],[14]]
