Given an N-Ary tree, the task is to print all root to leaf paths of the given N-ary Tree.

Examples:

Input:
                        1
                      /   \
                   2      3
                 /      /   \
              4      5     6
                           /   \
                        7      8

Output:
1 2 4
1 3 5
1 3 6 7
1 3 6 8

Input:
                          1
                        / | \
                      2  5  3
                    / \        \
                   4   5       6
Output:
1 2 4
1 2 5
1 5
1 3 6

Approach: The idea to solve this problem is to start traversing the N-ary tree using depth-first search and keep inserting every node encountered in a vector until a leaf node is encountered. Whenever a leaf node is encountered, print the elements stored in the vector as the current root-to-leaf path traversed and remove the last added leaf and check for the next combination.

Below is the implementation of the above approach:

C++




// C++ program for the above approach
#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;
 
// Structure of an N ary tree node
class Node {
public:
    int data;
    vector<Node*> child;
 
    // Parameterized Constructor
    Node(int x)
        : data(x)
    {
    }
};
 
// Function to print the root to leaf
// path of the given N-ary Tree
void printPath(vector<int> vec)
{
    // Print elements in the vector
    for (int ele : vec) {
        cout << ele << " ";
    }
    cout << endl;
}
 
// Utility function to print all
// root to leaf paths of N-ary Tree
void printAllRootToLeafPaths(
    Node* root, vector<int> vec)
{
    // If root is null
    if (!root)
        return;
 
    // Insert current node's
    // data into the vector
    vec.push_back(root->data);
 
    // If current node is a leaf node
    if (root->child.empty()) {
 
        // Print the path
        printPath(vec);
 
        // Pop the leaf node
        // and return
        vec.pop_back();
        return;
    }
 
    // Recur for all children of
    // the current node
    for (int i = 0;
        i < root->child.size(); i++)
 
        // Recursive Function Call
        printAllRootToLeafPaths(
            root->child[i], vec);
}
 
// Function to print root to leaf path
void printAllRootToLeafPaths(Node* root)
{
    // If root is null, return
    if (!root)
        return;
 
    // Stores the root to leaf path
    vector<int> vec;
 
    // Utility function call
    printAllRootToLeafPaths(root, vec);
}
 
// Driver Code
int main()
{
    // Given N-Ary tree
    Node* root = new Node(1);
    (root->child).push_back(new Node(2));
    (root->child).push_back(new Node(3));
    (root->child[0]->child).push_back(new Node(4));
    (root->child[1]->child).push_back(new Node(5));
    (root->child[1]->child).push_back(new Node(6));
    (root->child[1]->child[1]->child)
        .push_back(new Node(7));
    (root->child[1]->child[1]->child)
        .push_back(new Node(8));
 
    // Function Call
    printAllRootToLeafPaths(root);
 
    return 0;
}
