【leetcode】Binary Tree Zigzag Level Order Traversal

Question ：

Given a binary tree, return the zigzag level order traversal of its nodes' values. (ie, from left to right, then right to left for the next level and alternate between).

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

    3
   / \
  9  20
    /  \
   15   7

 

return its zigzag level order traversal as:

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

 

confused what "{1,#,2,3}" means? > read more on how binary tree is serialized on OJ.
