Problem description:

Given an n-ary tree, return the level order traversal of its nodes’ values. (ie, from left to right, level by level).

For example, given a 3-ary tree:

We should return its level order traversal:

1
2
3
4
5
[
     [1],
     [3,2,4],
     [5,6]
]

Note:

The depth of the tree is at most 1000.
The total number of nodes is at most 5000.

Solution:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8

10
11
