C++ Program to Implement Ternary Tree

This C++ program implements the ternary tree, is a tree data structure in which each node has at most three child nodes, usually distinguished as “left”, “mid” and “right”. Nodes with children are parent nodes, and child nodes may contain references to their parents.

Here is the source code of the C++ program to display the traveral and search of a ternary tree on giving character sequences as input. This C++ program is successfully compiled and run on DevCpp, a C++ compiler. The program output is given below.
