Prerequisite – Inorder/preorder/postorder traversal of tree
Given a binary tree, perform postorder traversal.
We have discussed below methods for postorder traversal.
1) Recursive Postorder Traversal.
2) Postorder traversal using Stack.
2) Postorder traversal using two Stacks.
In this method a DFS based solution is discussed. We keep track of visited nodes in a hash table.
// CPP program or postorder traversal #include <bits/stdc++.h> using namespace std; /* A binary tree node has data, pointer to left child and a pointer to right child */struct Node { int data; struct Node *left, *right; }; /* Helper function that allocates a new node with the given data and NULL left and right pointers. */void postorder(struct Node* head) { struct Node* temp = head; unordered_set<Node*> visited; while (temp && visited.find(temp) == visited.end()) { // Visited left subtree if (temp->left && visited.find(temp->left) == visited.end()) temp = temp->left; // Visited right subtree else if (temp->right && visited.find(temp->right) == visited.end()) temp = temp->right; // Print node else { printf("%d ", temp->data); visited.insert(temp); temp = head; } } } struct Node* newNode(int data) { struct Node* node = new Node; node->data = data; node->left = NULL; node->right = NULL; return (node); } /* Driver program to test above functions*/int main() { struct Node* root = newNode(8); root->left = newNode(3); root->right = newNode(10); root->left->left = newNode(1); root->left->right = newNode(6); root->left->right->left = newNode(4); root->left->right->right = newNode(7); root->right->right = newNode(14); root->right->right->left = newNode(13); postorder(root); return 0; } |
Output:
1 4 7 6 3 13 14 10 8
Alternate Solution:
We can keep visited flag with every node instead of separate hash table.
C++
// CPP program or postorder traversal #include <bits/stdc++.h> using namespace std; /* A binary tree node has data, pointer to left child and a pointer to right child */struct Node { int data; struct Node *left, *right; bool visited; }; void postorder(struct Node* head) { struct Node* temp = head; while (temp && temp->visited == false) { // Visited left subtree if (temp->left && temp->left->visited == false) temp = temp->left; // Visited right subtree else if (temp->right && temp->right->visited == false) temp = temp->right; // Print node else { printf("%d ", temp->data); temp->visited = true; temp = head; } } } struct Node* newNode(int data) { struct Node* node = new Node; node->data = data; node->left = NULL; node->right = NULL; node->visited = false; return (node); } /* Driver program to test above functions*/int main() { struct Node* root = newNode(8); root->left = newNode(3); root->right = newNode(10); root->left->left = newNode(1); root->left->right = newNode(6); root->left->right->left = newNode(4); root->left->right->right = newNode(7); root->right->right = newNode(14); root->right->right->left = newNode(13); postorder(root); return 0; } |

Time complexity of above solution is O(n2) in worst case we move pointer back to head after visiting every node.
Alternate solution using unordered_map in which we do not have to move pointer back to head, so time complexity is O(n).
// CPP program or postorder traversal #include <bits/stdc++.h> using namespace std; /* A binary tree node has data, pointer to left child and a pointer to right child */struct Node { int data; struct Node *left, *right; bool visited; }; void postorder(Node* root) { Node* n = root; unordered_map<Node*, Node*> parentMap; parentMap.insert(pair<Node*, Node*>(root, nullptr)); while (n) { if (n->left && parentMap.find(n->left) == parentMap.end()) { parentMap.insert(pair<Node*, Node*>(n->left, n)); n = n->left; } else if (n->right && parentMap.find(n->right) == parentMap.end()) { parentMap.insert(pair<Node*, Node*>(n->right, n)); n = n->right; } else { cout << n->data << " "; n = (parentMap.find(n))->second; } } } struct Node* newNode(int data) { struct Node* node = new Node; node->data = data; node->left = NULL; node->right = NULL; node->visited = false; return (node); } /* Driver program to test above functions*/int main() { struct Node* root = newNode(8); root->left = newNode(3); root->right = newNode(10); root->left->left = newNode(1); root->left->right = newNode(6); root->left->right->left = newNode(4); root->left->right->right = newNode(7); root->right->right = newNode(14); root->right->right->left = newNode(13); postorder(root); return 0; } |
