Binary Tree Topics
Master essential binary tree problems and patterns frequently asked in interviews.
- 01 Tree Traversals Inorder, Preorder, Postorder traversal (recursive & iterative)
- 02 Height & Diameter of Tree Depth calculation & longest path in tree
- 03 Lowest Common Ancestor (LCA) Find LCA using recursion / parent pointers
- 04 Serialize & Deserialize Tree Convert tree to string and back, DFS/BFS approach
- 05 All Root-to-Leaf Paths Generate all paths using DFS/backtracking
WONDERING, HOW DOES IT COVER PATTERNS?
These problems cover the most
important binary tree patterns for interviews:
Tree Traversals →
Recursive & iterative traversal patterns for visiting nodes.
Height & Diameter of Tree →
Post-order recursion pattern to compute depth and longest path.
Lowest Common Ancestor (LCA) →
DFS recursion pattern to identify common ancestors.
Serialize & Deserialize Tree →
DFS/BFS traversal to convert tree structure to string and back.
All Root-to-Leaf Paths →
Backtracking recursion pattern to generate all paths.
Together, they ensure you understand
traversals, depth calculations, ancestor queries, serialization, and
path generation
in binary tree problems.
