Counting Nodes in a Binary Tree
Count All Nodes in Binary Tree :
int countAllNodes(struct Node *ptr) {
// Variables to obtain nodes is left and right subtree
int leftNodes, rightNodes;
if (ptr) {
leftNodes = countAllNodes(ptr -> left);
rightNodes = countAllNodes(ptr -> right);
return leftNodes + rightNodes + 1;
}
return 0;
}Count Nodes Having Both Children (Degree 2) :
int countTwoChildren(struct Node *ptr) {
// Variables to obtain nodes is left and right subtree
int leftNodes, rightNodes;
if (ptr) {
leftNodes = countTwoChildren(ptr -> left);
rightNodes = countTwoChildren(ptr -> right);
// Check if both children are present
if (ptr -> left && ptr -> right) {
return leftNodes + rightNodes + 1;
} else {
return leftNodes + rightNodes;
}
}
return 0;
}Count Nodes Having One or More Children (Degree 1 or 2) :
Count Nodes Having Exactly One Child (Degree 1) :
Count Leaf Nodes (Degree 0) :
Alternative Way of Counting (Without Variables) :
Following the same style for all the other conditions.
