    Video answer for 'Print the left view of a binary tree.'

    "Initially I asked clarifying questions like whether the tree can be empty or not and asked the interviewer to explain what is meant by left view and the explanation for the sample inputs. Then I came up with the level order traversal approach where we visit each level in the binary tree at once using a queue and at each level print the value of the first node. Interviewer seemed satisfied with the approach and asked me to code it up. Finally gave the time and space complexity of the solution."

    "To determine if a graph is not a tree, you can check for the following conditions: Presence of cycles: A graph is not a tree if it contains cycles. In a tree, there should be exactly one unique path between any two vertices. If you can find a cycle in the graph, it cannot be a tree. Insufficient number of edges: A tree with N vertices will have exactly N-1 edges. If the graph has fewer or more than N-1 edges, then it is not a tree. Disconnected components: A tree is a connected graph, m"

I had the concept I came up with from our hardware advancements to sense human movement (project Soli). The idea was that discovery could be proximal and would change based on a user’s distance from the device.
