...
It consists of a set of nodes connected by edges
...
●
●
●
The root node is the topmost node in the tree, and it has no parent node
...
The leaf nodes are the nodes in the tree that have no child nodes
...
Trees are used to represent hierarchical structures such as file systems, organization
charts, and XML/HTML documents
...
Binary Trees:
● A binary tree is a tree in which each node has at most two child nodes, known as the
left child and right child
...
● There are several types of binary trees such as complete binary trees, full binary
trees, balanced binary trees, and degenerate binary trees
...
Binary Search Trees:
● A binary search tree is a binary tree in which the left subtree of a node contains only
nodes with values less than the node's value, and the right subtree contains only
nodes with values greater than the node's value
...

...
● AVL trees are used to ensure that the height of the tree remains logarithmic, which
ensures efficient search, insertion, and deletion operations
...
Red-Black Trees:
● A red-black tree is a self-balancing binary search tree in which each node is colored
either red or black
...

...
● B-trees are used to implement file systems and databases, where the data is stored
on disk and needs to be accessed efficiently
...
Trie:
● A trie is a tree in which each node represents a prefix of a string
...
1
...
● Heaps are used to implement priority queues, where the elements are ordered based
on their priority
...
Binary trees are used to implement various data structures such as binary search
trees, heap trees, and expression trees
...
Node Structure:
●
●
●
The first step in representing a binary tree in C++ is to define the structure of the
node
...
The node structure can be defined as follows:
C++
struct Node {
int data;
Node* left;
Node* right;
};
Creating a Binary Tree:
●
●
●
Once the node structure is defined, a binary tree can be created by creating nodes
and linking them together
...
The following function can be used to create a new node:
C++
Node* newNode(int data) {
Node* node = new Node();
node->data = data;
node->left = NULL;
node->right = NULL;
return node;
}
●
To create a binary tree, the nodes can be created and linked together as follows:
C++
Node* root = newNode(1);
root->left = newNode(2);
root->right = newNode(3);
root->left->left = newNode(4);
root->left->right = newNode(5);
●
The above code creates a binary tree with the following structure:

Traversing a Binary Tree:
●
●
●
●
Once a binary tree is created, it can be traversed using various traversal techniques
such as inorder, preorder, and postorder traversal
...
In preorder traversal, the root node is visited first, followed by the left subtree, and
then the right subtree
...
C++
void inorderTraversal(Node* node) {
if (node == NULL) return;
inorderTraversal(node->left);
cout << node->data << " ";
inorderTraversal(node->right);
}
void preorderTraversal(Node* node) {
if (node == NULL) return;
cout << node->data << " ";
preorderTraversal(node->left);
preorderTraversal(node->right);
}
void postorderTraversal(Node* node) {
if (node == NULL) return;
postorderTraversal(node->left);
postorderTraversal(node->right);
cout << node->data << " ";
}
●
The above functions can be used to traverse the binary tree as follows:
C++
inorderTraversal(root); // prints 4 2 5 1 3
preorderTraversal(root); // prints 1 2 4 5 3
postorderTraversal(root); // prints 4 5 2 3 1
Binary Tree Representation in Java
Introduction:
●
●
●
A binary tree is a tree data structure in which each node has at most two children,
referred to as the left child and the right child
...
In Java, a binary tree can be represented using objects and references
...
The node class should contain the data to be stored in the node, and two references,
one to the left child and one to the right child
...
data = data;
left = right = null;
}
}
Creating a Binary Tree:
●
●
●
Once the node class is defined, a binary tree can be created by creating nodes and
linking them together
...
The following function can be used to create a new node:
Java
Node newNode(int data) {
Node node = new Node(data);
node
...
right = null;
return node;
}
●
To create a binary tree, the nodes can be created and linked together as follows:
Java
Node root = newNode(1);
root
...
right = newNode(3);
root
...
left = newNode(4);
root
...
right = newNode(5);
●
The above code creates a binary tree with the following structure:

Traversing a Binary Tree:
●
●
Once a binary tree is created, it can be traversed using various traversal techniques
such as inorder, preorder, and postorder traversal
...
●
●
In preorder traversal, the root node is visited first, followed by the left subtree, and
then the right subtree
...
Java
void inorderTraversal(Node node) {
if (node == null) return;
inorderTraversal(node
...
out
...
data + " ");
inorderTraversal(node
...
out
...
data + " ");
preorderTraversal(node
...
right);
}
void postorderTraversal(Node node) {
if (node == null) return;
postorderTraversal(node
...
right);
System
...
print(node
...
Binary trees are used to implement various data structures
such as binary search trees, heap trees, and expression trees
...
Depth-First Search (DFS)
Depth-first search is a type of traversal that visits the nodes of a tree by exploring each
branch as far as possible before backtracking
...
Pre-order Traversal
In pre-order traversal, the root node is visited first, followed by the left subtree and then the
right subtree
...
out
...
data + " ");
preorderTraversal(node
...
right);
}
}
In-order Traversal
In in-order traversal, the left subtree is visited first, followed by the root node and then the
right subtree
...
left);
System
...
print(node
...
right);
}
}
Post-order Traversal
In post-order traversal, the left subtree is visited first, followed by the right subtree and then
the root node
...
left);
postorderTraversal(node
...
out
...
data + " ");
}
}
Breadth-First Search (BFS)
Breadth-first search is a type of traversal that visits all the nodes of a tree level by level
...
BFS is also known as level-order
traversal
...
offer(root);
while (!queue
...
size();
List
for (int i = 0; i < levelSize; i++) {
Node node = queue
...
add(node
...
left != null) {
queue
...
left);
}
if (node
...
offer(node
...
out
...
The time
complexity of the BFS traversal is O(N), where N is the number of nodes in the tree
...
Visit the root node
...
Traverse the left subtree
...
Traverse the right subtree
...
Here's the code for preorder traversal in both C++ and Java:
C++ Code
C++
struct Node {
int data;
Node* left;
Node* right;
};
void preorderTraversal(Node* node) {
if (node != nullptr) {
cout << node->data << " ";
preorderTraversal(node->left);
preorderTraversal(node->right);
}
}
The preorderTraversal function takes a pointer to a node and recursively visits each node
in the tree in preorder
...
Java Code
Java
class Node {
int data;
Node left;
Node right;
Node(int data) {
this
...
left = null;
this
...
out
...
data + " ");
preorderTraversal(node
...
right);
}
}
The preorderTraversal function takes a Node object and recursively visits each node in the
tree in preorder
...
Both the C++ and Java implementations have a time complexity of O(n), where n is the
number of nodes in the binary tree
...
This is because the function call stack can go as deep as the height of the
tree
...
Traverse the left subtree
...
Visit the root node
...
Traverse the right subtree
...
Here's the code for inorder traversal in both C++ and Java:
C++ Code
C++
struct Node {
int data;
Node* left;
Node* right;
};
void inorderTraversal(Node* node) {
if (node != nullptr) {
inorderTraversal(node->left);
cout << node->data << " ";
inorderTraversal(node->right);
}
}
The inorderTraversal function takes a pointer to a node and recursively visits each node in
the tree in inorder
...
Java Code
Java
class Node {
int data;
Node left;
Node right;
Node(int data) {
this
...
left = null;
this
...
left);
System
...
print(node
...
right);
}
}
The inorderTraversal function takes a Node object and recursively visits each node in the
tree in inorder
...
Both the C++ and Java implementations have a time complexity of O(n), where n is the
number of nodes in the binary tree
...
This is because the function call stack can go as deep as the height of the
tree
...
Traverse the left subtree
...
Traverse the right subtree
...
Visit the root node
...
Here's the code for postorder traversal in both C++ and Java:
C++ Code
C++
struct Node {
int data;
Node* left;
Node* right;
};
void postorderTraversal(Node* node) {
if (node != nullptr) {
postorderTraversal(node->left);
postorderTraversal(node->right);
cout << node->data << " ";
}
}
The postorderTraversal function takes a pointer to a node and recursively visits each node
in the tree in postorder
...
Java Code
Java
class Node {
int data;
Node left;
Node right;
Node(int data) {
this
...
left = null;
this
...
left);
postorderTraversal(node
...
out
...
data + " ");
}
}
The postorderTraversal function takes a Node object and recursively visits each node in
the tree in postorder
...
Both the C++ and Java implementations have a time complexity of O(n), where n is the
number of nodes in the binary tree
...
This is because the function call stack can go as deep as the height of the
tree
...
In other words, it visits all the nodes at the same depth before
moving on to the next level
...
Here's the code for level order traversal in both C++ and Java:
C++ Code
C++
struct Node {
int data;
Node* left;
Node* right;
};
void levelOrderTraversal(Node* root) {
if (root == nullptr) {
return;
}
queue
q
...
empty()) {
Node* node = q
...
pop();
cout << node->data << " ";
if (node->left != nullptr) {
q
...
push(node->right);
}
}
}
The levelOrderTraversal function takes a pointer to the root node of the binary tree and
performs a level order traversal of the tree using a queue
...
It then creates an empty queue and pushes the root node onto it
...
In each iteration of the loop, it pops a node from the front
of the queue, prints its value, and then pushes its left and right children onto the queue (if
they exist)
...
data = data;
this
...
right = null;
}
}
public void levelOrderTraversal(Node root) {
if (root == null) {
return;
}
Queue
q
...
isEmpty()) {
Node node = q
...
out
...
data + " ");
if (node
...
add(node
...
right != null) {
q
...
right);
}
}
}
The levelOrderTraversal function takes a Node object representing the root node of the
binary tree and performs a level order traversal of the tree using a queue
...
It then creates a Queue object and adds the root node onto it
...
In each iteration of the loop, it removes a node from the
front of the queue, prints its value, and then adds its left and right children onto the queue (if
they exist)
...
The space complexity is O(w), where w is the maximum
width of the binary tree
...
Iterative Preorder Traversal in Binary
Tree | C++ | Java | Stack
Preorder traversal is a way to visit all the nodes of a binary tree
...
In an iterative
approach, we use a stack data structure to visit the nodes of a binary tree
...
push(root);
while (!s
...
top();
s
...
push(node->right);
}
if (node->left != nullptr) {
s
...
The function first
checks if the root node is null, and if so, it simply returns
...
It then enters a loop that
continues until the stack is empty
...
The reason for pushing the right child onto the stack before the left child is because
we want the left child to be processed first
...
data = data;
this
...
right = null;
}
}
public void iterativePreorderTraversal(Node root) {
if (root == null) {
return;
}
Stack
s
...
isEmpty()) {
Node node = s
...
out
...
data + " ");
if (node
...
push(node
...
left != null) {
s
...
left);
}
}
}
The iterativePreorderTraversal function takes a Node object representing the root node of
the binary tree and performs an iterative preorder traversal of the tree using a stack
...
It then creates an empty stack and pushes the root node onto it
...
In each iteration of the loop, it pops a node from the top of
the stack, prints its value, and then pushes its right and left children onto the stack (if they
exist)
...
Both the C++ and Java implementations have a time complexity of O(n), where n is the
number of nodes in the binary tree
...
This is because the maximum number of nodes that can be in the stack at
any given time is equal to the height of the tree
...
In inorder traversal, we first
visit the left subtree, then the root node, and then the right subtree
...
Here's the code for iterative inorder traversal in both C++ and Java:
C++ Code
C++
struct Node {
int data;
Node* left;
Node* right;
};
void iterativeInorderTraversal(Node* root) {
if (root == nullptr) {
return;
}
stack
Node* current = root;
while (current != nullptr || !s
...
push(current);
current = current->left;
}
current = s
...
pop();
cout << current->data << " ";
current = current->right;
}
}
The iterativeInorderTraversal function takes a pointer to the root node of the binary tree
and performs an iterative inorder traversal of the tree using a stack
...
It then creates an empty stack and initializes a pointer current to the root node
...
In each iteration of the loop, it
pushes all the left child nodes of the current node onto the stack until it reaches a null node
...
The loop then repeats until all the nodes of the binary tree have been visited
...
data = data;
this
...
right = null;
}
}
public void iterativeInorderTraversal(Node root) {
if (root == null) {
return;
}
Stack
Node current = root;
while (current != null || !s
...
push(current);
current = current
...
pop();
System
...
print(current
...
right;
}
}
The iterativeInorderTraversal function takes a Node object representing the root node of
the binary tree and performs an iterative inorder traversal of the tree using a stack
...
It then creates an empty stack and initializes a Node object current to the root node
...
In each iteration of
the loop, it pushes all the left child nodes of the current node onto the stack until it reaches a
null node
...
The loop then repeats until all the nodes of the binary tree have
been visited
...
The space complexity is O(h), where h is the height of
the binary tree
...
