I'm trying to manage a BST in C++ for my academic purpose.
I'm not having problems anywhere except for the DeleteNode function, also
I chose to implement this data structure with a class and not with a struct.
The problem is, that I cant figure it out how to make properly work the delete function, often I got 0xDDDDDDDDD error my debugger say, sometimes I can delete the node, sometimes my program crash.
I think that's a possible problem of pointer, but I just can't figure it out where I'm doing wrong.
Here's my delete node function, the one I'm getting serious trouble about:
EDIT: The no-son delete case works perfectly, the one i'm getting mad about is the one-son-case delete.
//function that delete a selected node
void DeleteNode(TreeNode* root,int key) {
/*we got three case here:*/
//until we find the right node with value in the tree
if (root->getValue() != key && root != nullptr) {
if (root->getValue() > key) {
DeleteNode(root->Left, key);
}
else if (root->getValue() < key) {
DeleteNode(root->Right, key);
}
}
else { //when we found the right node, then operate
/* THIS WORKS PERFECTLY! */
//first case: our node got no right and left son
if (!root->Left && !root->Right) {
TreeNode* tmp = root->Father;
if (tmp->Left == root) { //if the son is a left son
tmp->Left = nullptr;
delete root;
}
else if (tmp->Right == root) { //if the son is a right son
tmp->Right = nullptr;
delete root;
}
}
//second case: our node got a left but no right son
/* THIS ONE DOESN'T WORK. */
else if (!root->Right) {
TreeNode *tmp = root;
root = root->Left; //new root is the left son of the root
root->Father = tmp->Father; //linking the father to the new son
tmp->Father->Left = root; //linking the son to the new father
delete tmp;
std::cout << "Erased!" << std::endl;
}
else if (!root->Left) {
TreeNode *tmp = root;
root = root->Right; //new root is the right son of the root
root->Father = tmp->Father; //linking the father to the new son
tmp->Father->Right = root; //linking the son to the new father
delete tmp;
std::cout << "Erased!" << std::endl;
}
}
}
I tried a lot of combination, but the result are the same every time: it crashes on the first occurrence of the InOrder display function. (and when it does not, the function just delete the first nodes and then crash when i try to delete a new one.)
Here's a simple main where i'm trying to act the delete:
int main()
{
TreeNode root;
root.insertNode(&root,50);
root.insertNode(&root,30);
root.insertNode(&root,20);
root.insertNode(&root,40);
root.insertNode(&root,70);
root.insertNode(&root,60);
root.insertNode(&root,80);
for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
int n;
cin >> n;
root.DeleteNode(&root, n);
cout << "In-Order: "; root.inOrder(&root);
cout << endl;
cout << "Pre-Order: "; root.preOrder(&root);
cout << endl;
cout << "Post-Order: "; root.postOrder(&root);
cout << endl;
}
}
Here's my full BST code (except the delete one that i submitted before, just for being more complete in the understanding of my code)
class TreeNode {
private:

}
}
return root;

while (Ancestor != nullptr && node == Ancestor->Right) {

return nullptr;
else
Ancestor = node->Father;
while (Ancestor != nullptr && node == Ancestor->Left) {
node = Ancestor;
Ancestor = Ancestor->Father;
}
return Ancestor;
}
//function that prints information about nodes
void InfoNode(TreeNode *root) {
root != nullptr ? std::cout << "Nodo corrente: " << root->getValue() << std::endl
: std::cout << "Nodo corrente: " << "NULL" << std::endl;
root->Father != nullptr? std::cout << "Padre: " << root->Father->getValue() << std::endl
: std::cout << "Padre: " << "NULL" << std::endl;
root->Left != nullptr ? std::cout << "Figlio SX: " << root->Left->getValue() << std::endl
: std::cout << "Figlio SX: " << "NULL" << std::endl;
root->Right!= nullptr ? std::cout << "Figlio DX: " << (root->Right)->getValue() << std::endl
: std::cout << "Figlio DX: " << "NULL" << std::endl;
}
//visits of a tree
void preOrder(TreeNode* root) {
if (root != nullptr) {
std::cout << root->getValue() << " ";
preOrder(root->Left);
preOrder(root->Right);
}
}
void inOrder(TreeNode* root) {
if (root != nullptr) {
inOrder(root->Left);
std::cout << root->getValue() << " ";
inOrder(root->Right);
}
}
void postOrder(TreeNode *root) {
if (root != nullptr) {
postOrder(root->Left);
postOrder(root->Right);
std::cout << root->getValue() << " ";
}
}
//max between 2 numbers
int max(int a, int b) {
return a > b ? a : b;
}
};
And there's the representation of the tree I'm trying to work on:
50
/ \
30 70
/ \ / \
20 40 60 80
Where i'm doing it wrong?
Look at this condition: root->getValue() != key && root != nullptr, This first calls getValue and after that checks root has legal value. swap them(root != nullptr && root->getValue() != key).
Finally I think you must change last line to tmp->Father->Left = root; to fix crash problem.
TreeNode *tmp = root;
root = root->Right; //new root is the right son of the root
root->Father = tmp->Father; //linking the father to the new son
tmp->Father->Right = root; //linking the son to the new father
PS: Also do this exchange for other side...
Note: This is true until root is left child of his father otherwise your code is true. Precisely you must check if root is left child if his father do tmp->Father->Left = root; else tmp->Father->Right = root;
Note: As you mentioned your code does not handle deletion of a node with two childern.
As there is already an answer giving you directions to correct the specific errors, I will try to focus on a suggestion that will help you avoid similar error all together:
Try separating your current function into two:
One that searches a node with specific key, for example: Node* search(int key) function that returns either a pointer to the node with wanted key or nullptr, or use the one that your already have.
One that deletes (and re-wires) the node passed as pointer and returns: next, previous, etc: Node* delete(Node* n).
Then call search, test against nulltpr, and if different, pass the returned pointer as an input argument in delete.
In this way you could easily detect on which phase is you problem: searching or deleting.
P.S.: figuring out re-wiring bugs is usually done through diagrams (boxes and arrows). Decide what you should do, separate it into steps and implement it.
Well, once one know that DEBUG version use sentinel value, it become much more trivial to find problems in code.
When and why will an OS initialise memory to 0xCD, 0xDD, etc. on malloc/free/new/delete?
0xDD is for dead memory. That is memory that has been already deleted. So when the debugger stop and it tells you that you have a bad pointer and the data contains a lot of 0xDD, you know the data has already been deleted. At that point, you should inspect class that contain the data to see if they are deleted too so you know which objects were deleted when the are embedded one inside another.
Be aware that sometime you might have some data that has been changed in part of the class if some operations use delete memory. Looking at memory pattern also help finding uninitialized memory and other similar problem.
Some other links:
Why does the not allocated memory is marked like 0xCC?
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/974tc9t1.aspx

http://www.nobugs.org/developer/win32/debug_crt_heap.html
In a case like yours, if you follow the good practice of writing unit tests, then it would even be more trivial to find the problem. In fact, if you do proper testing, then you will test all possible cases so you will know which cases fail and it would help you find where you might do something wrong.
I would like to add something to the answer of #Bonje Fir.
Sure it is a correct answer, but partially: I'll explain why.
He suggested to swap the last piece of code i wrote:
Case: we're in the right subtree, and we would like to erase 70 (because we don't have anymore the leaf node 60):
50
/ \
30 70
/ \ \
20 40 80
now, with the code that #Bonje Fir suggested us, we would got a problem here:
TreeNode *tmp = root;
root = root->Right; //new root is the right son of the root
root->Father = tmp->Father; //linking the father to the new son
tmp->Father->Left (instead of Right) = root; //linking the son to the new father
Because the code is saying, that once you updated the new root with his son, link the father of the previous root (that we saved in a tmp variable) with his left son. Then we would assist to something like this:
50
/ x
80 80
/ \
20 40
and that's inconsistent.
Now take a look on the other side, with the same code and without leaf node 20:
50
/ \
30 70
\ / \
40 60 80
the code fit here, because we're in the right subtree.
so once update 30 with 40 (root = root -> right) the situation would be this:
50
x \
40 70
/ \
60 80
then the piece of code #Bonje Fir wrote us, would fit perfectly:
tmp->Father->Left = root
because for sure, we're assigning 40 to the left son of the father of the original root. (because we're in the left subtree.)
50
/ \
40 70
/ \
60 80
So i made a little change to correct this logic problem, and make it work both in the right and left subtree.
else if (!root->Left) {
TreeNode *tmp = root;
root = tmp->Right;
root->Father = tmp->Father; //linking the father to the new son
//we need also to connect the son with the father, but first
//we need to know in which subtree we're in.
if (root->Father->Right == tmp) //if we're in the right subtree
tmp->Father->Right = root;
else ////if we're in the left subtree
tmp->Father->Left = root;
delete tmp;
std::cout << "Erased!" << std::endl;
}
i took advantage of the fact i didnt erase my root, once assigned the new one, so the father of the root still points to the old root.
(same speech for the opposite case.)
Just wondering if I can get some tips on printing a pretty binary tree in the form of:
5
10
11
7
6
3
4
2
Right now what it prints is:
2
4
3
6
7
11
10
5
I know that my example is upside down from what I'm currently printing, which it doesn't matter if I print from the root down as it currently prints. Any tips are very appreciated towards my full question:
How do I modify my prints to make the tree look like a tree?

In order to pretty-print a tree recursively, you need to pass two arguments to your printing function:
The tree node to be printed, and
The indentation level
For example, you can do this:
void BinarySearchTree::postorder(tree_node* p, int indent=0)
{
if(p != NULL) {
if(p->left) postorder(p->left, indent+4);
if(p->right) postorder(p->right, indent+4);
if (indent) {
std::cout << std::setw(indent) << ' ';
}
cout<< p->data << "\n ";
}
}
The initial call should be postorder(root);
If you would like to print the tree with the root at the top, move cout to the top of the if.
void btree::postorder(node* p, int indent)
{
if(p != NULL) {
if(p->right) {
postorder(p->right, indent+4);
}
if (indent) {
std::cout << std::setw(indent) << ' ';
}
if (p->right) std::cout<<" /\n" << std::setw(indent) << ' ';
std::cout<< p->key_value << "\n ";
if(p->left) {
std::cout << std::setw(indent) << ' ' <<" \\\n";
postorder(p->left, indent+4);
}
}
}
With this tree:
btree *mytree = new btree();
mytree->insert(2);
mytree->insert(1);
mytree->insert(3);
mytree->insert(7);
mytree->insert(10);
mytree->insert(2);
mytree->insert(5);
mytree->insert(8);
mytree->insert(6);
mytree->insert(4);
mytree->postorder(mytree->root);
Would lead to this result:
It's never going to be pretty enough, unless one does some backtracking to re-calibrate the display output. But one can emit pretty enough binary trees efficiently using heuristics: Given the height of a tree, one can guess what the expected width and setw of nodes at different depths.
There are a few pieces needed to do this, so let's start with the higher level functions first to provide context.
The pretty print function:
// create a pretty vertical tree
void postorder(Node *p)
{
int height = getHeight(p) * 2;
for (int i = 0 ; i < height; i ++) {
printRow(p, height, i);
}
}
The above code is easy. The main logic is in the printRow function. Let's delve into that.
void printRow(const Node *p, const int height, int depth)
{
vector<int> vec;
getLine(p, depth, vec);
cout << setw((height - depth)*2); // scale setw with depth
bool toggle = true; // start with left
if (vec.size() > 1) {
for (int v : vec) {
if (v != placeholder) {
if (toggle)
cout << "/" << " ";
else
cout << "\\" << " ";
}
toggle = !toggle;
}
cout << endl;
cout << setw((height - depth)*2);
}
for (int v : vec) {
if (v != placeholder)
cout << v << " ";
}
cout << endl;
}
getLine() does what you'd expect: it stores all nodes with a given equal depth into vec. Here's the code for that:
void getLine(const Node *root, int depth, vector<int>& vals)
{
if (depth <= 0 && root != nullptr) {
vals.push_back(root->val);
return;
}
if (root->left != nullptr)
getLine(root->left, depth-1, vals);
else if (depth-1 <= 0)
vals.push_back(placeholder);
if (root->right != nullptr)
getLine(root->right, depth-1, vals);
else if (depth-1 <= 0)
vals.push_back(placeholder);
}
Now back to printRow(). For each line, we set the stream width based on how deep we are in the binary tree. This formatting will be nice because, typically, the deeper you go, the more width is needed. I say typically because in degenerate trees, this wouldn't look as pretty. As long as the tree is roughly balanced and smallish (< 20 items), it should turn out fine.
A placeholder is needed to align the '/' and '\' characters properly. So when a row is obtained via getLine(), we insert the placeholder if there isn't any node present at the specified depth. The placeholder can be set to anything like (1<<31) for example. Obviously, this isn't robust because the placeholder could be a valid node value. If a coder's got spunk and is only dealing with decimals, one could modify the code to emit decimal-converted strings via getLine() and use a placeholder like "_". (Unfortunately, I'm not such a coder :P)
The result for the following items inserted in order: 8, 12, 4, 2, 5, 15 is
8
/ \
4 12
/ \ \
2 5 15
getHeight() is left to the reader as an exercise. :)
One could even get prettier results by retroactively updating the setw of shallow nodes based on the number of items in deeper nodes.
That too is left to the reader as an exercise.

If your only need is to visualize your tree, a better method would be to output it into a dot format and draw it with grapviz.
You can look at dot guide for more information abt syntax etc
Here's yet another C++98 implementation, with tree like output.

The code:

void printSubtree(Node* root, const string& prefix)

Here's a little example for printing out an array based heap in tree form. It would need a little adjusting to the algorithm for bigger numbers. I just made a grid on paper and figured out what space index each node would be to look nice, then noticed there was a pattern to how many spaces each node needed based on its parent's number of spaces and the level of recursion as well as how tall the tree is. This solution goes a bit beyond just printing in level order and satisfies the "beauty" requirement.

Foreword
Late late answer and its in Java, but I'd like to add mine to the record because I found out how to do this relatively easily and the way I did it is more important. The trick is to recognize that what you really want is for none of your sub-trees to be printed directly under your root/subroot nodes (in the same column). Why you might ask? Because it Guarentees that there are no spacing problems, no overlap, no possibility of the left subtree and right subtree ever colliding, even with superlong numbers. It auto adjusts to the size of your node data. The basic idea is to have the left subtree be printed totally to the left of your root and your right subtree is printed totally to the right of your root.
An anaology of how I though about this problem
A good way to think about it is with Umbrellas, Imagine first that you are outside with a large umbrella, you represent the root and your Umbrella and everything under it is the whole tree. think of your left subtree as a short man (shorter than you anyway) with a smaller umbrella who is on your left under your large umbrella. Your right subtree is represented by a similar man with a similarly smaller umbrella on your right side. Imagine that if the umbrellas of the short men ever touch, they get angry and hit each other (bad overlap). You are the root and the men beside you are your subtrees. You must be exactly in the middle of their umbrellas (subtrees) to break up the two men and ensure they never bump umbrellas. The trick is to then imagine this recursively, where each of the two men each have their own two smaller people under their umbrella (children nodes) with ever smaller umbrellas (sub-subtrees and so-on) that they need to keep apart under their umbrella (subtree), They act as sub-roots. Fundamentally, thats what needs to happen to 'solve' the general problem when printing binary trees, subtree overlap. To do this, you simply need to think about how you would 'print' or 'represent' the men in my anaolgy.
My implementation, its limitations and its potential
Firstly the only reason my code implementation takes in more parameters than should be needed (currentNode to be printed and node level) is because I can't easily move a line up in console when printing, so I have to map my lines first and print them in reverse. To do this I made a lineLevelMap that mapped each line of the tree to it's output (this might be useful for the future as a way to easily gather every line of the tree and also print it out at the same time).
//finds the height of the tree beforehand recursively, left to reader as exercise
int height = TreeHeight(root);
//the map that uses the height of the tree to detemrine how many entries it needs
//each entry maps a line number to the String of the actual line
HashMap<Integer,String> lineLevelMap = new HashMap<>();
//initialize lineLevelMap to have the proper number of lines for our tree
//printout by starting each line as the empty string
for (int i = 0; i < height + 1; i++) {
lineLevelMap.put(i,"");
}
If I could get ANSI escape codes working in the java console (windows ugh) I could simply print one line upwards and I would cut my parameter count by two because I wouldn't need to map lines or know the depth of the tree beforehand. Regardless here is my code that recurses in an in-order traversal of the tree:
public int InOrderPrint(CalcTreeNode currentNode, HashMap<Integer,String>
lineLevelMap, int level, int currentIndent){
//traverse left case
if(currentNode.getLeftChild() != null){
//go down one line
level--;
currentIndent =
InOrderPrint(currentNode.getLeftChild(),lineLevelMap,level,currentIndent);
//go up one line
level++;
}
//find the string length that already exists for this line
int previousIndent = lineLevelMap.get(level).length();
//create currentIndent - previousIndent spaces here
char[] indent = new char[currentIndent-previousIndent];
Arrays.fill(indent,' ');
//actually append the nodeData and the proper indent to add on to the line
//correctly
lineLevelMap.put(level,lineLevelMap.get(level).concat(new String(indent) +
currentNode.getData()));
//update the currentIndent for all lines
currentIndent += currentNode.getData().length();
//traverse right case
if (currentNode.getRightChild() != null){
//go down one line
level--;
currentIndent =
InOrderPrint(currentNode.getRightChild(),lineLevelMap,level,currentIndent);
//go up one line
level++;
}
return currentIndent;
}
To actually print this Tree to console in java, just use the LineMap that we generated. This way we can print the lines right side up
for (int i = height; i > -1; i--) {
System.out.println(lineLevelMap.get(i));
}
How it all really works
The InorderPrint sub function does all the 'work' and can recursively print out any Node and it's subtrees properly. Even better, it spaces them evenly and you can easily modify it to space out all nodes equally (just make the Nodedata equal or make the algorithim think it is). The reason it works so well is because it uses the Node's data length to determine where the next indent should be. This assures that the left subtree is always printed BEFORE the root and the right subtree, thus if you ensure this recursively, no left node is printed under it's root nor its roots root and so-on with the same thing true for any right node. Instead the root and all subroots are directly in the middle of their subtrees and no space is wasted.
An example output with an input of 3 + 2 looks like in console is:
And an example of 3 + 4 * 5 + 6 is:
And finally an example of ( 3 + 4 ) * ( 5 + 6 ) note the parenthesis is:
Ok but why Inorder?
The reason an Inorder traversal works so well is because it Always prints the leftmost stuff first, then the root, then the rightmost stuff. Exactly how we want our subtrees to be: everything to the left of the root is printed to the left of the root, everything to the right is printed to the right. Inorder traversal naturally allows for this relationship, and since we print lines and make indents based on nodeData, we don't need to worry about the length of our data. The node could be 20 characters long and it wouldn't affect the algorithm (although you might start to run out of actual screen space). The algorithm doesn't create any spacing between nodes but that can be easily implemented, the important thing is that they don't overlap.
Just to prove it for you (don't take my word for this stuff) here is an example with some quite long characters
As you can see, it simply adjusts based on the size of the data, No overlap! As long as your screen is big enough. If anyone ever figures out an easy way to print one line up in the java console (I'm all ears) This will become much much simpler, easy enough for almost anyone with basic knowledge of trees to understand and use, and the best part is there is no risk of bad overlapping errors.
Do an in-order traversal, descending to children before moving to siblings. At each level, that is when you descent to a child, increase the indent. After each node you output, print a newline.
Some psuedocode. Call Print with the root of your tree.
void PrintNode(int indent, Node* node)
{
while (--indent >= 0)
std::cout << " ";
std::cout << node->value() << "\n";
}
void PrintNodeChildren(int indent, Node* node)
{
for (int child = 0; child < node->ChildCount(); ++child)
{
Node* childNode = node->GetChild(child);
PrintNode(indent, childNode);
PrintNodeChildren(indent + 1, childNode);
}
}
void Print(Node* root)
{
int indent = 0;
PrintNode(indent, root);
PrintNodeChildren(indent + 1, root);
}
From your root, count the number of your left children. From the total number of left children, proceed with printing the root with the indention of the number of left children. Move to the next level of the tree with the decremented number of indention for the left child, followed by an initial two indentions for the right child. Decrement the indention of the left child based on its level and its parent with a double indention for its right sibling.
For an Array I find this much more concise. Merely pass in the array. Could be improved to handle very large numbers(long digit lengths). Copy and paste for c++ :)
#include <math.h>
using namespace std;
void printSpace(int count){
for (int x = 0; x<count; x++) {
cout<<"-";
}
}
void printHeap(int heap[], int size){
cout<<endl;
int height = ceil(log(size)+1); //+1 handle the last leaves
int width = pow(2, height)*height;
int index = 0;
for (int x = 0; x <= height; x++) { //for each level of the tree
for (int z = 0; z < pow(2, x); z++) { // for each node on that tree level
int digitWidth = 1;
if(heap[index] != 0) digitWidth = floor(log10(abs(heap[index]))) + 1;
printSpace(width/(pow(2,x))-digitWidth);
if(index<size)cout<<heap[index++];
else cout<<"-";
printSpace(width/(pow(2,x)));
}
cout<<endl;
}
}
Here is preorder routine that prints a general tree graph in a compact way:
void preOrder(Node* nd, bool newLine=false,int indent=0)
{
if(nd != NULL) {
if (newLine && indent) {
std::cout << "\n" << std::setw(indent) << ' '
} else if(newLine)
std::cout << "\n";
cout<< nd->_c;
vector<Node *> &edges=nd->getEdges();
int eSize=edges.size();
bool nwLine=false;
for(int i=0; i<eSize; i++) {
preOrder(edges[i],nwLine,indent+1);
nwLine=true;
}
}
}
int printGraph()
{
preOrder(root,true);
}
i have a easier code..........
consider a tree made of nodes of structure
struct treeNode{
treeNode *lc;
element data;
short int bf;
treeNode *rc;
};
Tree's depth can be found out using
int depth(treeNode *p){
if(p==NULL) return 0;
int l=depth(p->lc);
int r=depth(p->rc);
if(l>=r)
return l+1;
else
return r+1;
}
below gotoxy function moves your cursor to the desired position
void gotoxy(int x,int y)
{
printf("%c[%d;%df",0x1B,y,x);
}
Then Printing a Tree can be done as:
void displayTreeUpDown(treeNode * root,int x,int y,int px=0){
if(root==NULL) return;
gotoxy(x,y);
int a=abs(px-x)/2;
cout<<root->data.key;
displayTreeUpDown(root->lc,x-a,y+1,x);
displayTreeUpDown(root->rc,x+a,y+1,x);
}
which can be called using:
display(t,pow(2,depth(t)),1,1);
Here is my code. It prints very well,maybe its not perfectly symmetrical.

node * right;
};
Create List(zig zag order):
1 <-> 3 <-> 2 <-> 4 <-> 5 <-> 6 <-> 7 <-> 15 <-> ... <-> 8
Could someone please help me out.
This is a Breadth-first search algorithm. Wikipedia has a good explanation on how to implement it.
After implementing the algorithm, creating your linked list should be a no-brainer (since it will only be a matter of appending each visited element to the list)
That's an awkward type of tree traversal. I wonder how often anyone has ever actually needed to do such a thing in real code. Nevertheless, it's the problem to be solved here...
Here's how I would approach dealing with this:
First, when I compare the desired output to the structure of the tree, I notice that each "level" of the tree is processed in turn from top to bottom. So top node first, then all child nodes, then all grand-child notes, and so on. So probably a good solution will involve a loop that processes one level and at the same time builds up a list of nodes in the next level to be used in the next iteration of the loop.
Next, this "zig zag" order means it needs to alternate which direction the child nodes are processed in. If a particular iteration goes from left to right, then the next iteration must go from right to left. And then back to left to right for the subsequent iteration and so on. So in my idea of a loop that processes one level and builds a list of the next level, it probably needs to have some sort of alternating behavior when it builds that list of nodes for the next level. On even iterations the list is built one way. On odd iterations the list is built the other way.
Alternatively, another other way to think about this whole thing is: Design a solution to that can build the result list in 1,2,3,4,5,6,etc order. Then modify that design to have the zig zag order.
Does this give you enough of an idea on how to design a solution?
This might help you:
Create a separate list for every level of the tree
Traverse the tree and copy the values to the lists as you traverse the tree
Reverse the order of every other list
Connect the lists
In this solution below I have used two stacks to store Levels alternatively.
say nodes at level 0 will be store in stack 1 whose name is head1;now pop the element while it not become empty and push the elements in stack 2.the order i.e left or right child of insertion will depend on the level.and change the insertion order at each level.
node * convert_to_dll(node *p)
{
static int level=0;
push_in_stack(p,&head1);
printf("%d\n",p->data);
while( head1!=NULL || head2!=NULL) {
//pop_from_queue(&headq);
if(head1!=NULL && head2==NULL) {
while(head1!=NULL) {
if(level%2==0) {
node *p;
p=new node;
p=pop_from_stack(&head1);
if(p->right!=NULL) {
push_in_stack(p->right,&head2);
printf("%d\n",(p->right)->data);
}
if(p->left!=NULL)
{
push_in_stack(p->left,&head2);
printf("%d\n",(p->left)->data);
}
}
}
//traverse_stack(head2);
level++;
} else {
while(head2!=NULL) {
if(level%2!=0) {
node *q;
q=new node;
q=pop_from_stack(&head2);
if(q->left!=NULL) {
push_in_stack(q->left,&head1);
printf("%d\n",(q->left)->data);
}
if(q->right!=NULL) {
push_in_stack(q->right,&head1);
printf("%d\n",(q->right)->data);
}
}
} //traverse_stack(head2);
level++;
}
}
return p;
}
you can write a function to add nodes in a doubly linked list. You can then call this function while traversing the tree. In this way you should be able to do it.
Hmm... This is a tough one. The problem with traversal in this order is that you are doing a lot of skipping around. This is generally true in any tree traversal order that is not depth or breadth first.
Here's how I would resolve the situation. Start with a single, empty array of lists of nodes and begin traversing the tree depth first. Be sure to keep track of the depth of your traversal.
At each point in traversal, note the depth of your traversal and pick the list at the index in the array. If there isn't one there, add it first. If the depth is even (Assuming root has depth 0), add the node to the end of the list. If it's odd, add it to the beginning.
Once you've traversed all nodes, concatenate the lists.
Why use pointers?? You could just store your BST as an array A[1...n]. So, A[1] would have root, A[2] and A[3] would have nodes of the depth 1, etc. This is possible since it is an almost complete tree, and you know how many elements will be present at a given depth - i.e. 2^d at depth d (except of course at the last depth). Now all you've got to do is access the array in a zag-zag manner, and create a new BST (array) of the new order. So, how would you traverse the array in a zig-zag manner?? For any given element A[i], the left child would be A[2i] and the right child A[2i + 1]. So, if your current depth d is odd, then traverse 2^d elements, and when you reach the 2^dth element, go to its left child. If your current depth d is even, again traverse 2^d elements, but when you reach the 2^dth element, go to its right child. Storing them as arrays rather than nodes makes your data structure leaner, and your implementation simpler.

Linked list you get here is singly linked and sorted. Hope you can easily make changes in this code to get a doubly linked list. Just copy - paste this code and compile it.It will work fine.
Let us assume that the root of the binary tree is at level 0(an even number). Successive levels can be considered as alternating between odd even (children of root are at odd level, their children are at even level etc.). For a node at even level, we push its children onto a stack(This enables reverse traversal). For a node at odd level, we push its children onto a queue(This enables forward traversal). After children have been pushed, we remove the next available element (top of stack or front of queue) and recursively call the function by changing level to odd or even depending on where the removed element lies. The removed element can be inserted at the end of the doubly linked list. Pseudo-code below.
// S = stack [accessible globally]
// Q = queue [accessible globally]
//
// No error checking for some corner cases to retain clarity of original idea
void LinkNodes(Tree *T,bool isEven,list** l)
{
if(isEven) {
S.push(T->right);
S.push(T->left);
while( !S.empty() ) {
t = S.pop();
InsertIntoLinkedList(l,t);
LinkNodes(t,!isEven);
}
} else {
Q.enque(T->left);
Q.enque(T->right);
while( !Q.empty() ) {
t = Q.deque();
InsertIntoLinkedList(l,t);
LinkNodes(t,isEven);
}
}
}
In the calling function:
bool isEven = true;
list *l = NULL;
// Before the function is called, list is initialized with root element
InsertIntoLinkedList(&l,T);
LinkNodes(T,isEven,&l);
