C Programming Examples on Trees

C Programming Examples - Trees

A tree is a nonlinear hierarchical data structure made up of nodes connected by edges. A binary tree is a tree where each element has only two children, one on the left and one on the right. A binary search tree is a root binary tree in which each inner node has a key higher than all keys in the node’s left subtree but lower than keys in the node’s right subtree. An AVL tree is a self-balancing binary search tree (BST) in which the left and right nodes of the tree are balanced.

Basic Operations of Binary Search Tree:

  • Insert: Inserts an element in a tree.
  • Delete: Removes an element from the tree.
  • Search: Search for a specific element in the tree.

Tree Traversals:

Traversal is the process of visiting all nodes of a tree in a certain way and printing their values. There are three ways to traverse the tree:

  • In-order Traversal: visits left subtree, node, right subtree.
  • Pre-order Traversal: visits each node before its children
  • Post-order Traversal: visits each node after its children.

The following section contains various C programs on trees, binary trees, binary search trees, AVL trees, and nodes of a tree. It also covers various programs on Tree traversals such as bfs traversal, dfs traversal, inorder traversal, preorder, and postorder traversals. Each sample program on trees includes a program description, C code, and program output. All examples have been compiled and tested on Windows and Linux systems.
