LeetCode - Binary Tree Level Order Traversal II

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

For example:

Given binary tree {3,9,20,#,#,15,7},

    3
   / \
  9  20
    /  \
   15   7

return its bottom-up level order traversal as:

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

Solution:

Modified BFS. Add a NULL at the end of each level, so we can know that it reached to the end of this level.

// 40 ms for 34 test cases
// same as version I except adding the reverse at the end
