Print Head node of every node in Binary Tree

Last Updated : 11 Apr, 2023

Given the root of the Binary Tree. Print the parent node of each node in the given Binary Tree.

Examples :

Input: Binary Tree = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, NULL, NULL, NULL, 6}

Example 1

Output :

The Head Node of 6 is 4
The Head Nodeof 5 is 2
The Head Node of 4 is 2
The Head Node of 3 is 1
The Head Node of 2 is 1

Explanation: Clearly By Observing Image we are finding parent node for each and every Node.

Input: Binary Tree ={1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10}
Output:

The Head Node of 10 is 5
The Head Nodeof 9 is 4
The Head Node of 8 is 4
The Head Node of 7 is 3
The Head Node of 6 is 3
The Head Node of 5 is 2
The Head Nodeof 4 is 2
The Head Node of 3 is 1
The Head Node of 2 is 1

Approach: This can be solved with the following idea:

Using map data structure, and using child node as a key and it's parent node as a value for that particular value. Traversing in Level order in binary tree using queue.

Steps involved in the implementation of code:

Create an unordered map function with parameters of type Node* as ParentNodes.
Push root into the queue q.
while the queue is not empty iterate throughout the queue and assign root to its left and right as :
- ParentNodes[root->left] = root
- ParentNodes[root->right] = root
Parallelly push the left and right nodes of the root into the queue for further iteration.

Below is the implementation of the above approach:

C++

// C++ program to print head of each node in tree
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;

// A binary tree node has data, a pointer
// to the left child and a pointer
// to the right child
struct Node {
    int data;
    struct Node *left, *right;
};

// Utility function to create a
// new tree node
Node* newNode(int data)
{

    Node* temp = new Node;
    temp->data = data;
    temp->left = temp->right = NULL;

    return temp;
}

// Function to print parent Node
void Print_Head_Nodes(
    Node* root, unordered_map<Node*, Node*>& ParentNodes)
{

    // Using Queue structure
    queue<Node*> q;

    q.push(root);

    while (!q.empty()) {

        Node* k = q.front();
        q.pop();

        // Check if left node is present
        if (k->left) {
            ParentNodes[k->left] = k;
            q.push(k->left);
        }

        // Check if right node is present
        if (k->right) {
            ParentNodes[k->right] = k;
            q.push(k->right);
        }
    }
}

// Driver code
int main()
{
    struct Node* root = newNode(1);
    root->left = newNode(2);
    root->right = newNode(3);
    root->left->left = newNode(4);
    root->left->right = newNode(5);
    root->left->left->right = newNode(6);

    // Map data Structure
    unordered_map<Node*, Node*> ParentNodes;

    // Function call
    Print_Head_Nodes(root, ParentNodes);

    // Printing parent of each node
    for (auto i : ParentNodes) {
        cout << "The Head Node of " << i.first->data
             << " is " << i.second->data << endl;
    }
    return 0;
}
