When it is required to get the sum of all the nodes in a Tree, a ‘Tree_structure’ class is created, methods to set a root value, and to add other values are defined. It also has a method to determine the sum of all elements of a Tree structure. Various options are given that the user can select. Based on the user’s choice, the operation is performed on the Tree elements.
Below is a demonstration of the same −
Example
class Tree_structure: def __init__(self, data=None): self.key = data self.children = [] def set_root(self, data): self.key = data def add_values(self, node): self.children.append(node) def search_val(self, key): if self.key == key: return self for child in self.children: temp = child.search(key) if temp is not None: return temp return None def summation_nodes(self): sum_val = self.key for child in self.children: sum_val = sum_val + child.summation_nodes() return sum_val tree = None print('Menu (no duplicate keys allowed)') print('add <data> at root') print('add <data> below <data>') print('summation') print('quit') while True: my_input = input('What would you like to do? ').split() operation = my_input[0].strip().lower() if operation == 'add': data = int(my_input[1]) newNode = Tree_structure(data) sub_op = my_input[2].strip().lower() if sub_op == 'at': tree = newNode elif sub_op == 'below': my_pos = my_input[3].strip().lower() key = int(my_pos) ref_node = None if tree is not None: ref_node = tree.search_val(key) if ref_node is None: print('No such key exists') continue ref_node.add_values(newNode) elif operation == 'summation': if tree is None: print('The tree is empty') else: summation_val = tree.summation_nodes() print('Sum of all the nodes is : {}'.format(summation_val)) elif operation == 'quit': break
Output
Menu (no duplicate keys allowed) add <data> at root add <data> below <data> summation quit What would you like to do? add 56 at root What would you like to do? add 45 below 56 What would you like to do? add 23 below 56 What would you like to do? summation Sum of all the nodes is : 124 What would you like to do?
Explanation
The ‘Tree_structure’ class is created.
It sets the ‘key’ to True and sets an empty list to children of tree.
It has a ‘set_root’ function that helps set the root value for the Tree.
A method named ‘add_vals’ is defined, that helps add an element to the Tree.
Another method named ‘search_val’ is defined, that helps search for an element in the Tree.
Another method named ‘summation_nodes’ is defined, that helps get the sum of all elements/nodes of the Tree.
It is a recursive function.
Four options are given, such as ‘add at root’, ‘add below’, ‘Summation’ and ‘quit’.
Depending on the option given by user, the respective operation is performed.
This output is displayed on the console.
