Given A binary Tree, how do you count all the full nodes (Nodes which have both children as not NULL) without using recursion and with recursion? Note leaves should not be touched as they have both children as NULL.
 

Nodes 2 and 6 are full nodes has both child’s. So count of full nodes in the above tree is 2

Method: Iterative 
The idea is to use level-order traversal to solve this problem efficiently.  

1) Create an empty Queue Node and push root node to Queue.
2) Do following while nodeQeue is not empty.
   a) Pop an item from Queue and process it.
      a.1) If it is full node then increment count++.
   b) Push left child of popped item to Queue, if available.
   c) Push right child of popped item to Queue, if available.

Below is the implementation of this idea. 

C++




// C++ program to count 
// full nodes in a Binary Tree
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
  
// A binary tree Node has data, pointer to left
// child and a pointer to right child 
struct Node
{
    int data;
    struct Node* left, *right;
};
  
// Function to get the count of full Nodes in
// a binary tree
unsigned int getfullCount(struct Node* node)
{
    // If tree is empty
    if (!node)
        return 0;
    queue<Node *> q;
      
    // Do level order traversal starting from root
    int count = 0; // Initialize count of full nodes
    q.push(node);
    while (!q.empty())
    {
        struct Node *temp = q.front();
        q.pop();
  
        if (temp->left && temp->right)
            count++;
              
        if (temp->left != NULL)
            q.push(temp->left);
        if (temp->right != NULL)
            q.push(temp->right);
    }
    return count;
}
  
/* Helper function that allocates a new Node with the
given data and NULL left and right pointers. */
struct Node* newNode(int data)
{
    struct Node* node = new Node;
    node->data = data;
    node->left = node->right = NULL;
    return (node);
}
  
// Driver program 
int main(void)
{
    /* 2

    struct Node *root = newNode(2);
    root->left     = newNode(7);
    root->right     = newNode(5);
    root->left->right = newNode(6);
    root->left->right->left = newNode(1);
    root->left->right->right = newNode(11);
    root->right->right = newNode(9);
    root->right->right->left = newNode(4);
      
    cout << getfullCount(root);
      
    return 0;
}

Output: 

 2

Time Complexity: O(n) 
Auxiliary Space : O(n) where, n is number of nodes in given binary tree

Method: Recursive
The idea is to traverse the tree in postorder. If the current node is full, we increment result by 1 and add returned values of left and right subtrees.
