    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."
