Question

I mean on a specific level, NOT up to that specific level. Could someone please check my modified BFS algorithm? (most of which is taken from Wikipedia)

Queue levelorder(root, levelRequested){
      int currentLevel = 0;
      q = empty queue
      q.enqueue(root)
      while not q.empty do{
           if(currentLevel==levelRequested)
                 return q;
           node := q.dequeue()
           visit(node)
           if(node.left!=null || node.right!=null){
                 currentLevel++;
                 if node.left ≠ null
                       q.enqueue(node.left)
                 if node.right ≠ null
                       q.enqueue(node.right)
           }
      }
}

I think a recursive solution would be much more concise:

/*
 * node - node being visited
 * clevel - current level
 * rlevel - requested level
 * result - result queue
 */
drill (node, clevel, rlevel, result) {
  if (clevel == rlevel) {
    result.enqueue (node);
  else {
    if (node.left != null)
      drill (node.left, clevel + 1, rlevel, result);
    if (node.right != null)
      drill (node.right, clevel + 1, rlevel, result);
  }
}

Initial invocation would look like: drill (root, 0, n, rqueue);
