--description--

Here we will introduce another tree traversal method: breadth-first search. In contrast to the depth-first search methods from the last challenge, breadth-first search explores all the nodes in a given level within a tree before continuing on to the next level. Typically, queues are utilized as helper data structures in the design of breadth-first search algorithms.

In this method, we start by adding the root node to a queue. Then we begin a loop where we dequeue the first item in the queue, add it to a new array, and then inspect both its child subtrees. If its children are not null, they are each enqueued. This process continues until the queue is empty.

--instructions--

Let's create a breadth-first search method in our tree called levelOrder. This method should return an array containing the values of all the tree nodes, explored in a breadth-first manner. Be sure to return the values in the array, not the nodes themselves. A level should be traversed from left to right. Next, let's write a similar method called reverseLevelOrder which performs the same search but in the reverse direction (right to left) at each level.

--hints--

The BinarySearchTree data structure should exist.

assert(
(function () {
var test = false;
if (typeof BinarySearchTree !== 'undefined') {
test = new BinarySearchTree();
}
return typeof test == 'object';
})()
);

The binary search tree should have a method called levelOrder.

assert(
(function () {
var test = false;
if (typeof BinarySearchTree !== 'undefined') {
test = new BinarySearchTree();
} else {
return false;
}
return typeof test.levelOrder == 'function';
})()
);

The binary search tree should have a method called reverseLevelOrder.

assert(
(function () {
var test = false;
if (typeof BinarySearchTree !== 'undefined') {
test = new BinarySearchTree();
} else {
return false;
}
return typeof test.reverseLevelOrder == 'function';
})()
);

The levelOrder method should return an array of the tree node values explored in level order.

assert(
(function () {
var test = false;
if (typeof BinarySearchTree !== 'undefined') {
test = new BinarySearchTree();
} else {
return false;
}
if (typeof test.levelOrder !== 'function') {
return false;
}
test.add(7);
test.add(1);
test.add(9);
test.add(0);
test.add(3);
test.add(8);
test.add(10);
test.add(2);
test.add(5);
test.add(4);
test.add(6);
return test.levelOrder().join('') == '719038102546';
})()
);

The reverseLevelOrder method should return an array of the tree node values explored in reverse level order.

assert(
(function () {
var test = false;
if (typeof BinarySearchTree !== 'undefined') {
test = new BinarySearchTree();
} else {
return false;
}
if (typeof test.reverseLevelOrder !== 'function') {
return false;
}
test.add(7);
test.add(1);
test.add(9);
test.add(0);
test.add(3);
test.add(8);
test.add(10);
test.add(2);
test.add(5);
test.add(4);
test.add(6);
return test.reverseLevelOrder().join('') == '791108305264';
})()
);

The levelOrder method should return null for an empty tree.

assert(
(function () {
var test = false;
if (typeof BinarySearchTree !== 'undefined') {
test = new BinarySearchTree();
} else {
return false;
}
if (typeof test.levelOrder !== 'function') {
return false;
}
return test.levelOrder() == null;
})()
);

The reverseLevelOrder method should return null for an empty tree.

assert(
(function () {
var test = false;
if (typeof BinarySearchTree !== 'undefined') {
test = new BinarySearchTree();
} else {
return false;
}
if (typeof test.reverseLevelOrder !== 'function') {
return false;
}
return test.reverseLevelOrder() == null;
})()
);
