Beginning Java Data Structures and Algorithms

Activity: Implementing BFS in Java

Scenario

We have been asked to write code to implement an algorithm that searches the binary tree one level at a time, left to right. The traversal starts from the root node and finishes at the leaf nodes.

Aim

To apply BFS traversal in Java.

Steps for Completion

1. Implement the algorithm shown in the preceding code in Java.
2. Use the Java LinkedList collection to implement the queue shown in the pseudocode. The method signature should be as follows:

 public void printBfs() 

In this section, we have learned about the various ways we can traverse a binary tree and the different ordering produced by each strategy. We have also seen how these algorithms can be implemented both in a recursive and in an iterative ...
