Post order traversal non recursive

Introduction
-------------
In a binary tree starting from the root there always exists a path to reach any node.But for any particular node this path is unique.Each of these paths are extendible upto some leaf node.

So if we cover every path once upto the leaf nodes we cover up all the nodes once. So to traverse all the nodes if we traverse each leaf node from the root we will traverse each node the tree. For post order following is the non recursive algorithm.

Algorithm
----------
1>Here the leftmost path is chosen and the leaf node is traversed first. let this node be nl.

2>Then it's immediate parent is traversed if this parent either does not have a right son or nl itself is the right son. This process goes on .
If the parent has a right son which has not yet been traversed, then the 2nd left most path containing the right son is chosen and the leaf is traversed. Again the same process starts.

3>This process is followed until we return to root again but do not find a new next leftmost path. Then root is traversed.

In the attached jpeg leftmost path from root is 9, 8, 1. So the leaf ( i.e. 1 is traversed). As 8 does not have a right son 8 is traversed. As 9 has a right son (i.e. 10) , the second left most path containing the right son (i.e. 9, 10)is chosen. Then the leaf i.e. 10 is traversed. Then at last root i.e. 9 is traversed.

Description
------------
I developed this simple program in C in the year 2004 when started going through the subject data structure. This will give an idea of how to program tree traversals.

The screen shot and C file are self explanatory. Please go through the screenshot.
The exe file may be run in DOS mode in a windows 98 or XP machine to test the result.

But please do not use a non integral input. During that period of time as I was just a novice I did not check for wrong inputs. Extremely sorry for this.

But all other checks like null pointer and all are implemented.

Please find the attachments.

postorder traversal of a DOM tree

by: ravi mannan | last post by:

Hello all, I'm trying to read an xml file and create a nested JPopupMenu from that. The first thing I want to do is to read in the xml file and put it in a Document using DOM and then do a post-order traversal of the DOM tree. This will let me start at the bottom of the tree, which will be the deepest selections in the menu, and add the leaves(JMenuItem's) to the parents(JMenu's) and those parents to the root(JPopupMenu). Get the idea?...

Non Recursive In-Order Traversal without using stack

Hi, I know it is not exactly a C++ problem but rather concerns algorithm. But I could not figure out any other group to post this so am posting here. I am looking for the algorithm proposed by Morris for inorder traversal of a Binary Tree without using explicit stack. Searched on net but could not find many clues.

Pre-Order Binary Tree

by: APEJMAN | last post by:

would you please help me with this question? I know that a binary tree can be recovered from its pre-order traversal. That is, a tree built from the pre-order traversal should always be the same as the original tree. Is it true that the pre-order traversal tells the order in which the values were inserted?

The easy way to turn off automatic updates for Windows 10/11

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
