Binary Search Tree in C

Here you will get program for binary search tree in C.

 

A Binary Search Tree (BST) is a binary tree in which all the elements stored in the left subtree of node x are less then x and all elements stored in the right subtree of node x are greater then x. Below I have shared a C program for binary search tree insertion. After inserting all the nodes I am displaying the nodes by preorder traversal (root, left child, right child).

  1. there is only pre-order traversal,you must have to also define in-order and post-order also deleting node(optional)

    and this program is recursive what about none-recursive program??

    1. hypothetical me

      void postorder(node *root)
      {
      if(root!=NULL)
      {
      postorder(root->left);
      postorder(root->right);
      printf(“%d “,root->data);
      }
      }

  2. I am getting an extra 0 while executing in order and other traversals.m Rest of the elements are in correct order. But why does 0 appear? Please help

  3. Can u plz tell the error in my code
    it is having runtime error
