Preorder, Inorder, Postorder


$ \mbox{$\bullet$}$
If a tree is null, then the empty list is the preorder, inorder, and
postorder listing of T
 
$ \mbox{$\bullet$}$
If T comprises a single node, that node itself is the preorder, inorder,
and
postorder list of T
 
$ \mbox{$\bullet$}$
Otherwise

1.
The preorder listing of T is the root of T, followed by the nodes of
T1 in preorder, . . . , and the nodes of Tk in preorder.
2.
The inorder listing of T is the nodes of T1 in inorder, followed by
the root r, followed by the nodes of T2 in inorder, . . . , and the nodes of
Tk in inorder.
3.
The postorder listing of T is the nodes of T1 in postorder, . . . ,
the nodes of Tk in postorder, all followed by the root r.


 
$ \mbox{$\bullet$}$
Example: see Figure 4.2.





Preorder 1,2,3,5,8,9,6,10,4,7

Postorder 2,8,9,5,10,6,3,7,4,1

Inorder 2,1,8,5,9,3,10,6,7,4
 
$ \mbox{$\bullet$}$
Note that the order of appearance of the leaves is the same in all the three
schemes. This is true in general.
