4. Median of Two Sorted Arrays

Pure math. Median definition is the median is used for dividing a set into two equal length subsets, that one subset is always greater than the other.

102. Binary Tree Level Order Traversal

  • The best way to to iterate tree level by level is to use for loop in Java. (BFS)
  • return null is not same as return; (empty)
