TREE TRAVERSAL ALGORITHMS
BINARY TREES • A Binary tree is a tree with all nodes having at most two branches. • Each node have a degree of at most two. • Binary tree can be empty or consists of a root node and two disjoint binary trees termed left subtree and right subtree
BINARY TREE TRAVERSAL • A traversal of a binary tree is where its nodes are visited in a particular but in repetitive order. • A traversal is governed by three action.They are: Move Left(L) Move Right(R) Processed Node(P) • All these action yield into many different combination out of which three most significant combination result into three traversal ways.They are: Inorder Traversal—LPR Postorder Traversal—LRP Preorder Traversal—PLR
INORDER TRAVERSAL ALGORITHM: Recursive procedure to perform Inorder traversal of a binary tree. Procedure INORDER_TRAVERSAL(NODE) If NODE NIL then { call INORDER_TRAVERSAL(LCHILD(NODE)); print (DATA (NODE)); call INORDER_TRAVERSAL(RCHILD(NODE)); } end INORDER_TRAVERSAL.
• The traversal keeps moving left in the binary tree until one can move no further, processes the node and moves to the right to continue its traversal again. • In the absence of any node to the right, it retracts backward by a node and continue its traversal. • Consider a binary tree Inorder traversal output is: G H F I E A B D C
POSTORDER TRAVERSAL ALGORITHM: Recursive procedure to perform postorder traversal of a binary tree Procedure POSTORDER_TRAVERSAL(NODE) If NODE NIL then { call POSTORDER_TRAVERSAL(LCHILD(NODE)); call POSTORDER_TRAVERSAL(RCHILD(NODE)); print (DATA(NODE)); } end POSTORDER_TRAVERSAL.
• The traversal proceeds by keeping to the left until it is no further possible,turns right to continue its traversal. • If there is no right node, processes the node and retraces its direction by one node to continue its traversal. • Consider a binary tree Postorder Traversal output is: G F E I H D C B A
PREORDER TRAVERSAL ALGORITHM: Recursive procedure to perform preorder traversal of a binary tree Procedure PREORDER_TRAVERSAL(NODE) If NODE NIL then { print (DATA (NODE)); call PREORDER_TRAVERSAL(LCHILD(NODE)); call PREORDER_TRAVERSAL(RCHILD(NODE)); } end PREORDER_TRAVERSAL.
• The traversal process every node as it moves to left until it can move no further.Now it turns right to begin again. • If there is no node in the right, retracts until it can move right to continue its traversal. • Consider a binary tree Preorder Traversal output is: A H G I F E B C D
USES OF TREE TRAVERSAL In case of binary search trees (BST), Inorder traversal gives nodes in non-decreasing order. Preorder and Inorder traversals are used to create a copy of the tree. Postorder traversal is used to delete the tree.
