This is a Python program to perform depth-first search on a binary tree without using recursion.
The program creates a binary tree and presents a menu to the user to perform operations on the tree including depth-first search.
1. Create a class Stack to implement a stack.
2. The class Stack will have methods is_empty, push and pop.
3. Create a class BinaryTree with instance variables key, left and right.
4. Define methods set_root, insert_left, insert_right, preorder_depth_first and search.
5. The method set_root takes a key as argument and sets the variable key equal to it.
6. The methods insert_left and insert_right insert a node as the left and right child respectively.
7. The method search returns a node with a specified key.
8. The method preorder_depth_first displays a preorder DFS traversal of the tree.
9. The preorder traversal is implemented using a stack to avoid recursion.
Here is the source code of a Python program to perform depth-first search on a binary tree without using recursion. The program output is shown below.

').split() operation = do[0].strip().lower() if operation == 'insert': data = int(do[1]) new_node = BinaryTree(data) suboperation = do[2].strip().lower() if suboperation == 'at': btree = new_node else: position = do[4].strip().lower() key = int(position) ref_node = None if btree is not None: ref_node = btree.search(key) if ref_node is None: print('No such key.') continue if suboperation == 'left': ref_node.insert_left(new_node) elif suboperation == 'right': ref_node.insert_right(new_node) elif operation == 'dfs': print('pre-order dfs traversal: ', end='') if btree is not None: btree.preorder_depth_first() print() elif operation == 'quit': break
1. A variable is created to store the binary tree.
2. The user is presented with a menu to perform operations on the tree.
3. The corresponding methods are called to perform each operation.
4. The method preorder_depth_first is called to display a DFS pre-order traversal of the tree.
Case 1: Menu (this assumes no duplicate keys) insert <data> at root insert <data> left of <data> insert <data> right of <data> dfs quit What would you like to do? insert 1 at root What would you like to do? insert 2 left of 1 What would you like to do? insert 3 right of 1 What would you like to do? insert 4 right of 2 What would you like to do? insert 5 left of 4 What would you like to do? dfs pre-order dfs traversal: 1 2 4 5 3 What would you like to do? quit Case 2: Menu (this assumes no duplicate keys) insert <data> at root insert <data> left of <data> insert <data> right of <data> dfs quit What would you like to do? insert 3 at root What would you like to do? insert 6 left of 3 What would you like to do? insert 7 right of 3 What would you like to do? insert 8 left of 7 What would you like to do? insert 10 right of 7 What would you like to do? dfs pre-order dfs traversal: 3 6 7 8 10 What would you like to do? quit
