What is a Tree Traversal?

Tree traversal is a process used in computer science to visit or check each node in a tree data structure exactly once. This can be done in different ways, including depth-first order (pre-order, in-order, post-order) and breadth-first order (level order). The traversal method chosen often depends on the specific needs of the algorithm being used. This process is crucial in tasks such as searching for a specific value in the tree, checking the structure of the tree, or applying an operation to each node.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following value:

Using the formula:

\[ N = 2^3 - 1 = 7 \]

The total number of nodes visited is 7.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following value:

Using the formula:

\[ N = 2^4 - 1 = 15 \]

The total number of nodes visited is 15.
