Problem: Vertical Order Traversal of a Binary Tree

Explore how to perform vertical order traversal on a binary tree using breadth-first search. Learn to associate nodes with row and column coordinates, group them by columns, and sort nodes by position to generate the vertical traversal order.

We'll cover the following...

Statement

Given the root of a binary tree, compute the vertical order traversal of the tree.

Each node is assigned a position (row,col)(row, col). The root is located at position (0,0)(0, 0). For any node at position (row,col)(row, col), its left child is at position (row+1,col−1)(row + 1, col - 1) and its right child is at position (row+1,col+1)(row + 1, col + 1) ...
