102. Binary Tree Level Order Traversal

Description

Given a binary tree, return the level order traversal of its nodes' values. (ie, from left to right, level by level).

For example:
Given binary tree [3,9,20,null,null,15,7],

tree

return its level order traversal as:

[
[3],
[9,20],
[15,7]
]

Solution

Level-traversal, time O(n), space O(n)
