Binary Tree Traversal Example

Binary tree traversal example.

This balanced binary tree is a compact example for learning recursive traversal. Each internal node has a left and a right child, and the labels make the visit order easy to record. In preorder, visit the root before its subtrees. In inorder, visit the left subtree, root and right subtree. In postorder, visit both subtrees before the root. A small labelled tree like this helps students check that they understand the difference between the three algorithms before using larger trees.

A solicitação

“Create a binary tree with A as root, B and C as its left and right children, D and E under B, H under D, and F and G under C, for practising tree traversals.”

Depois, tenteLabel the inorder traversal D, B, E, A, F, C, G.Add H as the left child of D.

O que há neste desenho

Entenda as decisões por trás dele.

01Balanced shape

Give the root two children and each child two leaves.

02Letter labels

Make traversal order easy to read.

03Traversal practice

Use the same tree for preorder, inorder and postorder.

Use this small tree for introductory traversal exercises.
