Inorder traversal of an N-ary Tree
Given an N-ary tree containing, the task is to print the inorder traversal of the tree.
Examples:
Input: N = 3
Output: 5 6 2 7 3 1 4
Input: N = 3
Output: 2 3 5 1 4 6
Approach: The inorder traversal of an N-ary tree is defined as visiting all the children except the last then the root and finally the last child recursively.
- Recursively visit the first child.
- Recursively visit the second child.
- …..
- Recursively visit the second last child.
- Print the data in the node.
- Recursively visit the last child.
- Repeat the above steps till all the nodes are visited.
Below is the implementation of the above approach:
// Java implementation of the approach
class GFG {
// Class for the node of the tree
static class Node {
int data;
// List of children
Node children[];
Node(int n, int data)
{
children = new Node[n];
this.data = data;
}
}
// Function to print the inorder traversal
// of the n-ary tree
static void inorder(Node node)
{
if (node == null)
return;
// Total children count
int total = node.children.length;
// All the children except the last
for (int i = 0; i < total - 1; i++)
inorder(node.children[i]);
// Print the current node's data
System.out.print("" + node.data + " ");
// Last child
inorder(node.children[total - 1]);
}
// Driver code
public static void main(String[] args)
{
/* Create the following tree
1
/ | \
2 3 4

root.children[0].children[2] = new Node(n, 7);
inorder(root);
}
}
