Binary Tree Right Side View

Detailed guide and Python implementation for the 'Binary Tree Right Side View' problem.

Problem Statement

Medium

Given the root of a binary tree, imagine yourself standing on the right side of it, return the values of the nodes you can see ordered from top to bottom.

The tree is represented as a level-order list. Implement a function rightSideView(root: list) -> list.

Constraints
  • The number of nodes in the tree is in the range [0, 100]
  • -100 <= Node.val <= 100

Examples

Example 1
Input
[1,2,3,None,5,None,4]
Output
[1,3,4]
Explanation

From the right side: at level 0 you see 1, at level 1 you see 3, at level 2 you see 4.

Example 2
Input
[1,None,3]
Output
[1,3]
Explanation

From the right side: at level 0 you see 1, at level 1 you see 3.

Example 3
Input
[]
Output
[]
Explanation

Empty tree, nothing to see.

Need a Hint?
Consider using Trees-specific data structures like sets or heaps.
Edge Cases to Watch
  • Empty input structures
  • Single element inputs
  • Large numerical bounds
