This approach uses a level-order traversal technique with the help of a queue to check if the binary tree is complete. In a complete binary tree, once a null node is encountered while doing a level order traversal, all subsequent nodes must also be null to satisfy completeness.
Time Complexity: O(n), where n is the number of nodes in the tree. We traverse each node once.
Space Complexity: O(n), where n is the number of nodes, used for the queue storage.

This approach utilizes depth-first search to gather information regarding the number of nodes and their indices. Using these, we check the compactness of the tree at each level to ensure all nodes fit the complete binary tree property.
Time Complexity: O(n).
Space Complexity: O(n), due to recursive stack usage.

}The C++ approach computes the total nodes and performs a DFS to validate the sequence constraint of a complete binary tree, ensuring node indices fall within an expected range.
