Because a tree is a recursive data-structure. It's easier to write (and easier to understand) a recursive program for handling it.

Why is there no threading for post order traversal of a binary search tree?

You don't need it. Think about it, you can just use a stack (or a recursive function.)


What is the time complexity of tree traversal?

What is the time complexity of tree traversal algorithms?

The time complexity of tree traversal algorithms is typically O(n), where n is the number of nodes in the tree. This means that the time taken to traverse a tree is directly proportional to the number of nodes in the tree.


What is the difference between BFS and DFS?

BFS: This can be throught of as being like Dijkstra's algorithm for shortest paths, but with every edge having the same length. However it is a lot simpler and doesn't need any data structures. We just keep a tree (the breadth first search tree), a list of nodes to be added to the tree, and markings (Boolean variables) on the vertices to tell whether they are in the tree or list. Depth first search is another way of traversing graphs, which is closely related to preorder traversal of a tree. Recall that preorder traversal simply visits each node before its children. It is most easy to program as a recursive routine:


What is the purpose of performing a binary search tree inorder traversal?

Performing a binary search tree inorder traversal helps to visit all nodes in the tree in ascending order, making it easier to search for specific values or perform operations like sorting and printing the elements in a sorted order.


How does n-ary tree traversal work and what are the different strategies for traversing an n-ary tree efficiently?

N-ary tree traversal involves visiting each node in an n-ary tree in a specific order. The different strategies for efficiently traversing an n-ary tree include: Preorder traversal: Visit the current node first, then recursively visit each child node in order. Postorder traversal: Recursively visit each child node first, then visit the current node. Level order traversal: Visit nodes level by level, starting from the root and moving down each level before moving to the next level. These strategies help efficiently navigate through the nodes of an n-ary tree while ensuring that each node is visited exactly once.


What is the process for conducting a reverse in-order traversal of a binary tree?

To conduct a reverse in-order traversal of a binary tree, start at the right child, then visit the root node, and finally visit the left child. Repeat this process recursively for each node in the tree until all nodes have been visited.
