Branch Out: Explore Python's Binary Tree Power.

Binary Tree use case.


In computer science and programming, a a tree is a nonlinear hierarchical data structure that consists of nodes connected by edges. And a tree whose elements have at most 2 children is called a binary tree. We typically name these 2 children the left and right child.

    A Binary Tree node contains the following 3 items:

    - Data.
    - Pointer to left child.
    - Pointer to right child.

    A full Binary tree is a type of binary tree in which every parent has either two or no children.
    A perfect binary tree is a type of binary tree in which every internal node has exactly two children and all the leaf nodes are at the same level.
    A complete binary tree is a binary tree in which every level (except possibly the last) is completely filled and all nodes in the last level are as far left as possible.
    A degenerate or pathological tree is where each parent node has only one child node, which is similar to a linked list data structure.
    A balanced binary tree is a binary tree in which the left and right subtrees of every node differ in height by no more than 1.



  1. Binary Tree traversal Python code:


  2. 
    class Node:
        def __init__(self, key):
            self.left = None
            self.right = None
            self.val = key
    
        def traverseInOrder(self):
            if self.left:
                self.left.traverseInOrder()
            print(self.val, end=' ')
            if self.right:
                self.right.traverseInOrder()        
           
        def traversePreOrder(self):
            print(self.val, end=' ')
            if self.left:
                self.left.traversePreOrder()
            if self.right:
                self.right.traversePreOrder()
    
        def traversePostOrder(self):
            if self.left:
                self.left.traversePostOrder()
            if self.right:
                self.right.traversePostOrder()
            print(self.val, end=' ')
    
    
    root = Node(1)
    
    root.left = Node(2)
    root.right = Node(3)
    root.left.left = Node(4)
    root.left.right = Node(5)
    
    print("In order Traversal: ")
    root.traverseInOrder()
    
    print("\nPre order Traversal: ")
    root.traversePreOrder()
    
    print("\nPost order Traversal: ")
    root.traversePostOrder()
    

  3. Binary Tree code result:


  4. OUT:
    In order Traversal:
    4 2 5 1 3
    Pre order Traversal:
    1 2 4 5 3
    Post order Traversal:
    4 5 2 3 1
