Hello and hii fellows....
I want your help right now in making a BST in which we can perform treeSearch....treeMINIMUM....treeMAXIMUM....treeINSERT....treeSUCCESSOR....treePREDECESSOR....treeDELETE....alongwith INORDER....POSTORDER....PREORDER traversal methods....
I have made a program consistiting of all methods excluding treeDELETE....
I'm ordered to make a tree-class....and a structure for node of a tree....
but im confused how to use those methods in MAIN() function after making Objects of Class-tree....Im a very primary-level programmer....so i don't use different functions for printing or whatever....i hope you'll get it from my code..
Code is:

#include <iostream.h>
#include <conio.h>
#define NULL 0

struct node
{
	node* parent;
	node* left;
	node* right;
	int key;
};

class BST
{
	private:

		node* root;
		node array[10];

	public:
		
		BST(int data)	//Constructor
		{
			COUT<<"\n Enter element to insert in the tree: \n";
			cin>>data;
			InsertTree(root,data);
			cout<<endl;
		}

		void INSERTTree(node* i,int k); //Functions declarations
		void PreOT(node* i);
		void IOT(node* i);
		void POT(node* i);
                                int SEARCHtree(node* i, int k);
		int MINtree(node * i);
		int MAXtree(node * i);
                                void DELETETree(node* i,int k);
		int treeSuccessor(node * i);
		int treePredecessor(node * i);
}; //end class

void BST::INSERTTree(node* i, int k)
{
	if(i->key==NULL)
	{
		i->key = k;
		i->left = NULL:
		i->right = NULL;
	}
	
	else if(k < i->key)	//If element is smaller than node
	{
		INSERTTree(i->left, k);
	}

	else if(k >= i->key)
	{
		INSERTTree(i->right, k);
	}

}	

void BST::PreOT(node* i)

	{
		return TreeSearch(i->left, k);
	}
	
	else(k >= i->key)
	{
		return TreeSearch(i->right, k);
	}
}


int BST::MINtree(node * i)
{
	while(i->left != NULL)

int main()
{
	clrscr();
                BST t1;
                t1.POT(node* i)  //don't know how to call methods..
                getch();
	return 0;
}

I think i've made mistakes in functions too..I want to alsohave COUT for printing in INSERTTree method......i don't know what to do....i have just done..whatever my mind thought....
Seeking for your urgent help....but i hope you'll make alterations in this same above code..otherwise i might not be able to get the code
Thanks in advance....!!

Please Be Hurry....
I'm looking forward for your kind help....

It may be urgent to you, but it isn't to us :)

but im confused how to use those methods in MAIN() function after making Objects of Class-tree.

You've forgotten to create a node that you send to the functions, so without looking through all of your code, I'd say your main should look something like this:

node n;
    BST t1;
    t1.POT(&n);

I want to alsohave COUT

It's cout (not in caps). C++ is case-sensitive....

You should know stuff like this if you're able to write a binary searchtree yourself.
The fact that you use clrscr(), getch and COUT, makes me suspect that you stole the code from somewhere....

yeah definitely it isn't urgent to you....but the thing is that if you wan help me..then i'd need help in time na....

I just write COUT for emphasizing purpose..otherwise its a very bsic thing that c++ is case-sensitive....and whats wrong with using clrscr() and getch()....
bcz if i don't use both these terms in my programs..screen does'nt get freezed nor does it clean itself....is there nything bad while using them..??

well you told me the way to use it in main()....bt i want you to have a look on my program bcz its giving me so many errors....i'll be really thankful to you ifyou just copy paste it in your C++ and tell me how to solve those....
thanks for your time..

bt i want you to have a look on my program bcz its giving me so many errors..

You should learn to ask your questions in English, not leet. The shift-key is on your keyboard for a purpose...

I just write COUT for emphasizing purpose..

No it's also wrong in your code:

COUT<<"\n Enter element to insert in the tree: \n";

So did you change the things I mentioned? If yes: Post your new code here.

[edit]
Oh and clrscr() and getch() are outdated and non-standard. So my modern compiler will give an error if I would compile your code. So that's why it's bad to use them.

Are you using the Turbo compiler? If yes: upgrade to a compiler that isn't 15 years old, like the free VS2008

its giving me so many errors....

Well, first of all, be consistent with the names of the member functions, for example

int BST::SEARCHtree(node* i, int k)
{
	if(i==NULL)
	{
		return 0;
	}
		
	else if(k == i->key)
	{
		return(i->key);
	}
	
	else if(k < i->key)
	{
		return TreeSearch(i->left, k);
	}
	
	else(k >= i->key)
	{
		return TreeSearch(i->right, k);
	}
}

Well then this COUT in code is also just because of shift key present on my keyboard.

Yes, You're right.
Actually I have changed the code so many times, that now im just messing it out more..
Thanks for telling mitrmkar..

Niek_ Should I do
node n;
OR
node* n;
Secondly I've changed INSERTTree code..Have a look on it..but i also want to print the current values of tree.

Can I write the code like this in main() for printing the data..

cout<<t1.SEARCHtree(&n, 25)<<endl;
cout<<endl<<t1.treeSuccessor(&n);
cout<<endl<<t1.treePredecessor(&n);

First of all: What mitrmkar said should solve a lot of your errors.

But more important:
you didn't write this code yourself, you probably found it somewhere on the net. If you want to understand how binarytrees work, click here and follow the tutorial.

Thanks alot niek_e....

Inserting is quite simple. "Insertion into a tree is a variation of an unsuccessful search". In other words: You just search the tree for a number. If it doesn't exist in the tree, you will automatically be at the leaf where the data should be added. So make a new node and insert it at that leaf.

Plese don't think that im copying from somewhere..i have really put my efforts in making this program..

To be honest: I still suspect that you copied the code from somewhere. If you don't understand how a semicolon works, pointers and trees should be way out of your league. But that's just my opinion.

The link I gave you has a lot of useful information on binary trees, it's worth the read.
