Java Program to Implement Ternary Tree

This Java program is to Implement ternary tree. In computer science, a 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. Outside the tree, there is often a reference to the “root” node (the ancestor of all nodes), if it exists. Any node in the data structure can be reached by starting at root node and repeatedly following references to either the left, mid or right child.

Here is the source code of the Java Program to Implement Ternary Tree. The Java program is successfully compiled and run on a Windows system. The program output is also shown below.
