In-order Traversal of a Tree.

In-order traversal is very commonly used on binary search trees(BST).Tt returns values from the underlying set in order, according to the comparator set up of the binary search tree. Array, Linked List, Queues, Stacks, etc. are linear traversal where have only one logical way to traverse them. Though trees can be traversed in different ways. That Traversals:

  1.  In-order (Left, Root, Right)
  2. Preorder (Root, Left, Right)
  3. Postorder (Left, Right, Root)

In-order:

For In-order traverse need to traverse left, then root, then right.

Following figure In-order traverse  7,2,9.

Algorithm for In-order traverse.

Input tree, root.

Step 1: Traverse left sub tree like call In-order (tree, root. left).

Step 2: visit root node.

Step 3: Traverse right sub tree like call In-order(tree, root. right).

Now, Traverse the following tree by following program.

Traverse : 1,7,5,6,10,2,9,3,8,4.

Implementation Process:

1st need to create node struct where data, *left , *right declared;

2nd need to create new node function which take an item and return new node, where firstly need i) memory allocation same as datatype size. If failed to memory allocation show error or assign data into new node, if left or right child no value then put them as NULL.

3rd  to add child left and right need two function both take two input one for node pointer another for left or right child assigned.

4th create create_tree() function by create_node ,add_left_child() and right_child() function. This function return root.

5th Now use in_order() recursion function, if left child not null call in_order() recursively for left node. root  print , then Again if right child not null  call in_order()recursively for right node.

6th main() function receive root data or value will print.

Program:

#include <stdio.h>

typedef struct node Node;

/* A binary tree node has data, pointer to left child and a pointer to right child */

struct node

{

int data;

Node  *left;

Node  *right;

};

Node *create_node (int item)

{

Node *new_node = (Node *) malloc(sizeof(Node)); /* create storage*/

if(new_node == NULL) { printf(“Error ! Could not create an Error\n”);

exit(1);

}

new_node -> data = item;

new_node -> left= NULL;

new_node ->right =NULL;

return (new_node);

}

void add_left_child( Node *node, Node *child )

{

node->left =child;

}

void add_right_child( Node *nodee, Node *child )

{

nodee->right =child;

}

Node *create_tree()

{

Node *two = create_node(2);

Node *seven=create_node(7);

Node *nine=create_node(9);

add_left_child(two,seven);

add_right_child(two,nine);

Node *one = create_node(1);

Node *six = create_node(6);

add_left_child(seven,one);

add_right_child(seven,six);

Node *five=create_node(5) ;

Node *ten = create_node(10);

add_left_child(six,five);

add_right_child(six,ten);

Node *eight = create_node(8);

add_right_child(nine,eight);

Node *three=create_node(3);

Node *four=create_node(4);

add_left_child(eight,three);

add_right_child(eight,four);

return two;

}

/* print tree nodes according to the in order traversal. */

void in_order(Node *node)

{

if(node->left != NULL)

{

in_order(node->left);

}

printf(“%d\n”,node->data);

if(node->right != NULL)

{

in_order(node->right);

}

}

//struct Node node; int main()

{

/* Given a binary tree, to print its nodes according to the in order traversal. */

Node *root =create_tree();

in_order(root);

printf(“\n”);

return 0;

Pre-order traversal:

Pre-order traverse need to traverse root, then left, then right. Array, Linked List, Queues, Stacks, etc. are linear traversal where have only one logical way to traverse them. Though trees can be traversed in different ways. That Traversals:

  1.  In-order (Left, Root, Right)
  2. Preorder (Root, Left, Right)
  3. Postorder (Left, Right, Root)

For Pre-order traverse need to traverse root, then left, then right.

Following figure Pre–order traverse  2, 7, 9.

  • Input tree, root.
  • Step 1: visit root node.
  • Step 2: Traverse left sub tree like call Pre-order (tree, root. left).
  • Step 3: Traverse right sub tree like call Pre-order (tree, root. right).

Binary Tree with implementation using C.

Binary Tree:

A binary tree each node has at most two children generally referred as left child and right child from root node.

 

Components of Each node:

 

  • Pointer to left subtree
  • Pointer to right subtree
  • Data element

The topmost node in the tree is called the root. An empty tree is represented by NULL pointer.

A tree which has two nodes corresponding their parent node is known as binary tree.

Binary tree term as two types.

1)      Full Binary tree.

A tree which has two nodes corresponding their parent node is known as full binary tree.

2)      Complete Binary tree.

3)      A tree which has left nodes corresponding their parent node is known as complete binary tree.

 

 Common Terminologies of Binary Tree:

  • Root: Topmost node in a tree.
  • Parent: Every node (excluding a root) in a tree is connected by a directed edge from exactly one other node. This node is called a parent.
  • Child: A node directly connected to another node when moving away from the root.
  • Leaf/External node: Node with no children.
  • Internal node: Node with atleast one children.
  • Depth of a node: Number of edges from root to the node.
  • Height of a node: Number of edges from the node to the deepest leaf. Height of the tree is the height of the root.
binary tree

Binary Tree

In the  binary tree root node is A. The tree has 10 nodes with 5 internal nodes A,B,C,E,G and 5 external nodes D,F,H,I,J. The height of the tree is 3. B is the parent of D and E while D and E are children of B.

C implementation Process:

1st need to create node struct where data, *left , *right declared;

2nd need to create new node function which take an item and return new node, where firstly need i) memory allocation same as datatype size.

If failed to memory allocation show error or assign data into new node,if left or right child no value then put them as NULL.

3rd  to add child left and right need two function both take two input one for node pointer another for left or right child assigned.

4th create create_tree() function by create_node ,add_left_child() and right_child() function. This function return root.

5th main() function receive root data or value will print.
