Given a Binary Tree, the task is to check whether the given Binary Tree is a perfect Binary Tree or not.
A Binary tree is a Perfect Binary Tree in which all internal nodes have two children and all leaves are at the same level.
Examples: 
 

Input : 
          1
         /  \
        2    3
       / \   / \
      4   5 6   7
Output : Yes

Input :
           20
         /   \
        8     22
       / \    / \
      5   3  4   25
     / \  / \     \
    1  10 2  14    6
Output : No 
One leaf node with value 4 is not present at the 
last level and node with value 25 has 
only one child.

 

We have already discussed the recursive approach. In this post, the iterative approach is discussed.
Approach: The idea is to use a queue and a variable flag, initialized to zero, to check if a leaf node has been discovered. We will check: 
 

  1. If the current node has two children then we will check for the value of flag. If the value of flag is zero then push the left and right child in the queue, but if the value of flag is one then return false because then that means a leaf node has already been found and in a perfect binary tree all the leaf nodes must be present at the last level, no leaf node should be present at any other level.
  2. If the current node has no child, that means it is a leaf node, then mark flag as one.
  3. If the current node has just one child then return false, as in a perfect binary tree all the nodes have two children except for the leaf nodes, which must be present at the last level of the tree.

Below is the implementation of the above approach: 
 

C++




// C++ program to check if the
// given binary tree is perfect
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// A binary tree node
struct Node {
    int data;
    Node *left, *right;
};
 
// Utility function to allocate memory for a new node
Node* newNode(int data)
{
    Node* node = new (Node);
    node->data = data;
    node->left = node->right = NULL;
    return (node);
}
 
// Function to check if the given tree is perfect
bool CheckPerfectTree(Node* root)
{
    queue<Node*> q;
 
    // Push the root node
    q.push(root);
 
    // Flag to check if leaf nodes have been found
    int flag = 0;
 
    while (!q.empty()) {
        Node* temp = q.front();
        q.pop();
 
        // If current node has both left and right child
        if (temp->left && temp->right) {
            // If a leaf node has already been found
            // then return false
            if (flag == 1)
                return false;
 
            // If a leaf node has not been discovered yet
            // push the left and right child in the queue
            else {
                q.push(temp->left);
                q.push(temp->right);
            }
        }
 
        // If a leaf node is found mark flag as one
        else if (!temp->left && !temp->right) {
            flag = 1;
        }
 
        // If the current node has only one child
        // then return false
        else if (!temp->left || !temp->right)
            return false;
    }
 
    // If the given tree is perfect return true
    return true;
}
 
// Driver code
int main()
{
    Node* root = newNode(7);
    root->left = newNode(5);
    root->right = newNode(6);
    root->left->left = newNode(8);
    root->left->right = newNode(1);
    root->right->left = newNode(3);
    root->right->right = newNode(9);
    root->right->right->right = newNode(13);
    root->right->right->left = newNode(10);
 
    if (CheckPerfectTree(root))
        printf("Yes");
    else
        printf("No");
 
    return 0;
}
