Detailed Description

template<typename T>
class PreorderTraversal< T >

A derived, templatized class for preorder traversal algorithms on trees.

Simulates an iterative traversal of a given tree using a stack and a given root node.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

template<typename T >

PreorderTraversal< T >::PreorderTraversal ( typename BinaryTree< T >::Node *  root )

inline

Initializes a Preorder TreeTraversal of a tree, with the traversal storing the tree's root.

Parameters

root	The root node of the tree

Member Function Documentation

template<typename T >

TreeTraversal<T>::Iterator PreorderTraversal< T >::begin ( )

inlinevirtual

Returns an iterator for the traversal starting at the root node.

Important for the sake of looping through an iterator's contents.

Returns

The iterator object pointing to the first node in the traversal

Implements TreeTraversal< T >.

template<typename T >

TreeTraversal<T>::Iterator PreorderTraversal< T >::end ( )

inlinevirtual

Returns an iterator for the traversal one past the end of the traversal.

Important for the sake of looping through an iterator's contents.

Returns

The iterator object pointing to the element after the end of the traversal.

Implements TreeTraversal< T >.

template<typename T >

void PreorderTraversal< T >::add ( typename BinaryTree< T >::Node *&  treeNode )

inlinevirtual

Adds the children of the given node to the stack to be processed later The right child is added before the left child to ensure that the left is popped before the right, thus following the rules of preorder traversals.

Parameters

treeNode

The subroot whose children should be added

Implements TreeTraversal< T >.

template<typename T >

BinaryTree<T>::Node* PreorderTraversal< T >::pop ( )

inlinevirtual

Removes and returns the current node in the traversal.

Returns

The current node in the traversal

Implements TreeTraversal< T >.

template<typename T >

BinaryTree<T>::Node* PreorderTraversal< T >::peek ( ) const

inlinevirtual

Returns the current node in the traversal or NULL if the stack is empty.

Returns

The current node in the traversal

Implements TreeTraversal< T >.

template<typename T >

bool PreorderTraversal< T >::empty ( ) const

inlinevirtual

Returns true if the traversal is empty.

Returns

true if the traversal is empty.

Implements TreeTraversal< T >.
