Find the largest number in a binary tree..

Answer / guest

Well..it's not a binary search tree.So we need to traverse
entire binary tree and check with the all node elements and
find the max value.
struct node
{
int data;
struct node *l;
struct node *r;
};
typedef struct node *nd;
int maximum(nd root)
{
static int max;
nd cur = root;
if(cur!=NULL)
{
if(cur->data>max)
max=cur->data;
maximum(root->l);
maximum(root->r);
}
return max;
}

Find the largest number in a binary tree..

Answer / tomás senart

There is a difference between a binary tree and a binary search tree.
A binary tree isn't organized in any sense. The values of it's nodes can be random and have no relationship to each other.

Here is a method for finding the biggest node on a binary tree.

typedef struct node {
int value;
struct tree *right;
struct tree *left;
} Node;

int biggest_node(Node *node)
{
int biggest_left, biggest_right;

biggest_left = node->left ? biggest_node(node->left) : node->value;
biggest_right = node->right ? biggest_node(node->right) : node->value;

if(node->value < biggest_left && node->value < biggest_right)
return biggest_left > biggest_right ? biggest_left : biggest_right;
else if(node->value < biggest_right)
return biggest_right;
else if(node->value < biggest_left)
return biggest_left;
else
return node->value;
}

Find the largest number in a binary tree..

Answer / bharat pandey

The Largest Node in the Binary tree is the Rightmost node
of the tree.
Hence we would traverse the Tree Till The Rightmost child
of the node is traversed.

the code is as follows:


#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>

struct node
{
int data;
struct node *left,*right;
}*tree;

struct node* MAX(struct node* q)
{
struct node* temp;
while(q->right!=NULL)
{
temp=q;
q=q->right;
}
return temp;
}


this algorithm will find the largest element of the tree in
o(log n).
