How do implement a breadth first traversal?

Question

This is what I have. I thought pre-order was the same and mixed it up with depth first!

import java.util.LinkedList;
import java.util.Queue;

public class Ex         


        

Answer 1

For implementing the breadth first search, you should use a queue. You should push the children of a node to the queue (left then right) and then visit the node (print data). Then, yo should remove the node from the queue. You should continue this process till the queue becomes empty. You can see my implementation of the BFS here: https://github.com/m-vahidalizadeh/foundations/blob/master/src/algorithms/TreeTraverse.java
