Suppose we have two array inorder and preorder containing the elements in the said format.
Using these two arrays how can i generate the binary tree??
Any help on the algorithm to be followed will be highly appreciated.
For eg:
inorder is : 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
preorder is : 5 3 2 4 7 6 8
then the Binary tree shld be
________5
________/\
_______3_7
_______/\_/\
______2_4 6_8
How can i form this binary tree??
i know the algorithm by hand but how do i implement it in C??

That's basically all programming is.
If you know how to do something on paper (the hard part), writing the code for that is pretty easy.Post your idea and your attempt at the code.
Jump to PostJust a hint since I see a lot of code in here that is huge for what it is trying to do:
Build the tree recursively using the pre-order array(The in order array will cause you to have an unbalanced tree). The function to do this is 5 lines …

Just a hint since I see a lot of code in here that is huge for what it is trying to do:
Build the tree recursively using the pre-order array(The in order array will cause you to have an unbalanced tree). The function to do this is 5 lines or less.
You already have an example.. try to use that to work out an algorithm
For eg:
inorder is : 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
preorder is : 5 3 2 4 7 6 8
then the Binary tree shld be
________5
________/\
_______3_7
_______/\_/\
______2_4 6_8
Hint: 5 is the root of the tree ..
5 is the first element in the pre-order array.
5 is somewhere in the middle of the in-order array .. so the elements to the left of 5 are a part of the left subtree and the elements to the right of 5 are a part of the right subtree.

hi... i have given u an code that generates a tree from a given inorder and preorder array...
#define NULL 0
typedef struct btree
{
int data;
struct btree *left;
struct btree *right;
}node;
node *root;

{
int i=0,p[30],in[30];

clrscr();
printf("enter the preorder\n");
while(1) //getting array for preorder elements
{
scanf("%d",&p[i]);

if(p[i-1]==-99)
break;
}

i=0;
while(1) //getting array for inorder elements
{
scanf("%d",&in[i]);

if(in[i-1]==-99)
break;
}
printf("\nthe given inorder is\n");
for(i=0;in[i]!=-99;i++)
printf("%5d",in[i]);

}
void inorder(node *root)
{
if(root!=NULL)
{
inorder(root->left);
printf("%6d",root->data);
inorder(root->right);
}
}
void preorder(node *root)
{
if(root!=NULL)
{

preorder(root->left);
preorder(root->right);
}
}try ur problem wit this solution.
Tell me whether it is useful for U :-)

}Hey thanks for providing code. . .
I'll check it and will get back to you soon.
here i have another code without recursion:
template <typename Comparable>
struct BinaryNode
{
Comparable element;
BinaryNode *left;
BinaryNode *right;
BinaryNode(){
left = right = NULL;
}
BinaryNode( const Comparable & theElement, BinaryNode *lt, BinaryNode *rt )
: element( theElement ), left( lt ), right( rt ) { }
};
void binTree( BinaryNode<char>*&root, string s, string t)
//Build a binary tree root so that its preorder traversal is s and its inorder traversal is t.
//scan preorder from left to right using inorder to seperate left and right subtrees.
{
root = new BinaryNode<char>(s[0],NULL,NULL);
/*int p[s.length()];
for(int i = 0 ; i < s.length();i++)
for(int j = 0 ; j < t.length(); j++)
if(s[i] == t[j])
p[i] = j;*/
BinaryNode<char>* parent;
BinaryNode<char>* current;
for(unsigned int i = 1; i < s.length(); i++)
{
current = root;
BinaryNode<char>* target = new BinaryNode<char>(s[i],NULL,NULL);
while(current){
if(t.find(target->element) < t.find(current->element) )
{
parent = current;
current = current->left;
}
else if(t.find(target->element) > t.find(current->element)){
parent = current;
current = current->right;
}
else;
}
if(t.find(target->element) < t.find(parent->element))
parent->left = target;
else
parent->right = target;
}
}
template<typename Comparable>
void levelTraversal(BinaryNode<Comparable>* sub_root,void(*visit)(Comparable & x)){
queue<BinaryNode<Comparable>*> q ;
//must justify sub_root is not empty, otherwise there's an exception
if(sub_root != NULL){
q.push(sub_root);
while(!q.empty()){
if(q.front()->left != NULL)
q.push(q.front()->left);
if(q.front()->right != NULL)
q.push(q.front()->right);
(*visit)(q.front()->element);
q.pop();
}
}
}
template<typename Comparable>
void printTree( BinaryNode<Comparable> *t )
{
if( t != NULL )
{
printTree( t->left);
cout << t->element << endl;
printTree( t->right);
}
}
template<typename T>
void print(T & x){
cout << x << " ";
}
int main(){
string pre = "gdhbeiafjc";
string in = "abdgheicfj";
BinaryNode<char>* root = new BinaryNode<char>();
binTree(root,pre,in);
printTree(root);
levelTraversal(root,print<char>);
}i think this one is much more understandable and it is my original implementation. string_name.find(char) returns the int postion of the char which simplify the code a lot..
