Lecture 171:-Trees Class - 1

Certainly, I can provide you with an overview of a basic tree class in programming. Trees are a fundamental data structure that consist of nodes connected by edges, forming a hierarchical structure. Each node can have a parent node and zero or more child nodes.

Here's a basic implementation of a tree class in Python:

pythonCopy code

class TreeNode: def __init__(self, data): self.data = data self.children = [] def add_child(self, child): self.children.append(child) def __repr__(self, level=0): ret = "\t" * level + repr(self.data) + "\n" for child in self.children: ret += child.__repr__(level + 1) return ret # Example usage root = TreeNode("Root") child1 = TreeNode("Child 1") child2 = TreeNode("Child 2") root.add_child(child1) root.add_child(child2) child3 = TreeNode("Child 3") child1.add_child(child3) print(root)

In this example, we've defined a TreeNode class. Each node has a data attribute to store the value of the node and a children list to store its child nodes. The add_child method allows you to add a child node to a parent node.

The __repr__ method is overridden to provide a more readable representation of the tree when printing it. It uses recursion to display the entire hierarchy of nodes.

Keep in mind that this is a very basic implementation, and real-world tree implementations often involve more advanced features and functionalities, such as different types of trees (binary trees, AVL trees, etc.), traversal methods (pre-order, in-order, post-order), and additional properties like balancing and searching.

If you have specific requirements or concepts you'd like to explore further in the context of a tree class, please provide more details, and I'd be happy to assist you further!
